This is making the rounds on social media as one of the most glorious self-owns, which is, for you old-timers, when someone tries to one-up someone else, and ends up shooting their foot instead.

Cool, cool. A decent jab.
So some random liberal idiot tries to take a potshot at O’Neil:

Yes, he’s that guy, and this little nothing tried to pwn him. So that didn’t go well.
O’Neil is pretty gracious – later he tweeted some credit to Obama:
