Sue me? You are a liberal NY bubble dwelling lawyer after all. 
You do strike me as someone from the NE though. I guess the place has rubbed off on you.

Obama has fricked up countless times in that regard.
How does that excuse trump?

Why do you think one is ok and the other is not? It's the same type of behavior and both are pretty lame.

You mean celebrities that needlessly launch baseless attacks against him on national TV?
These actors and actresses who become political experts remind me of the Howard Hughes line to Katherine Hepburn in "The Aviator" - "You are a movie star - nothing else."

I was joking when I said I loved it. I honestly don't know anything about it.

There are plenty of celiberals out there who need to be called out.
Meryl Streep is one of them.

Probably because President Obama's childish behavior doesn't get much coverage. He has plenty of jewels like this.

Person A says "I think he has bigger fish to fry."
Person B says "I disagree."
Person B is stating, through his disagreement, that there are not bigger fish to fry. Therefore, person B thinks that fighting with celebrities via twitter is either the biggest fish, or on equal footing as the biggest fish.

Come on now, she's a hell of an actress. A misguided and deluded ideologue maybe, but she unquestionably knows how to act.
Meh, I always thought Streep was a deplorable actress who was way overrated as most of the Hollywood actors and actresses are.
Put them onstage in front of a live audience and most of them will melt like the libtard snowflakes they are.
Trump was correct when he said Streep is just a Hillary lackey who uses every opportunity to expose herself as the sore loser she is.

Here's the issue I have with Trump's behavior. They are not both the same type of behavior at all.
Obama shouldn't have used "pop off" in his verbiage. But outside that, he said that if other people felt that they had better strategy/policy for the given situation, he'd want to hear it and debate it. Sure he was sarcastic. But none-the-less.
Trump, on the other hand, whined that someone called him something he didn't like, and in doing so insulted that person and resorted to name calling. As he seems to have to do whenever anybody speaks poorly about him.
But Trump is going to be the president. It's embarrassing for him to even stoop to the level of responding.
They are not at all one in the same. If Trump responded with something like: "If they (or Meryl Streep, or whomever he wants to address his statement to) feel that I'm doing a poor job of responding to critics, that's their opinion. I'm attempting to be a President that all of America can rally behind while we work to Make America Great Again, and I'll continue to do my best to work toward that goal", or something in that vein, great.
That's presidential and even handed. It admits no fault but comes across as mature in the face of criticism. Instead, he responds like a 14 year old who's upset about what someone said about their boyfriend at lunch.
I mean, seriously?
Can you imagine Obama calling Bruce Willis an "overrated Actor who doesn't even know me" if he had said something negative about Obama? The right would have lost their collective minds. And Trump does this every time.
I don't typically vote Republican. I didn't vote for Romney, for example. But as much as I disagreed with some of his policy proposals, at least he seemed like a decent human being who would have represented our country with a modicum of decency.
Trump just comes across like a child.
(Also, yes, I'm "melting"

Real men know that attacking their reputation and character with cheap personal attacks may not be the biggest fish but it is a fish big enough to fry.

If Meryl Streep lamenting those in power resorting to bullying, which incites further bullying, while not even mentioning Trump by name, equates to "attacking [his] reputation and character," to the extent that it requires a personal, public temper tantrum reprisal from Trump, then holy hell is he in for a long four years.

A leader is someone who whines about celebrities on social media?
The media covers the celebrities' attacks like they're news. Responding to the media's coverage is part of setting the narrative. If the media gave Streep's speech the appropriate level of coverage (none), the President wouldn't address it.

Trump's reactions set him.up for more attacks from the left. He's helping create this environment.

And that's why you have press secretaries. So you don't have to embarrass yourself by going on twitter and whining about it yourself.
