(Mocking is)...definitely a way to assert or reinforce your status in a group. It wouldn't normally be demonstrated by those who are at the highest level of a group !!! , but those somewhere in the middle trying to work their way up or prevent newbies from gaining status. So I reckon it's a reaction to a threat or potential threat. Link
I do not recall headlines that characterized any United States President as "Mocking" until Obama came along. Let's do a little Google autocomplete research to identify those issues that Obama perceives as threats:
