Some folks want Obama to turn the other cheek so they can punch him on the other side of his face. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

Pretty much. I imagine the story, had Obama done as suggested and simply refused to go onto the same stage as Hoffa due to his use of salty language, would read something like “Obama Snubs Workers/Unions, Walks Out On Prepared Speech.”
