President of All the People
President Barack Obama went on the David Letterman show last night and responded to the leaked video where Mitt Romney explained why 47 percent of the electorate was basically shut off to him. Obama took the softball and hammered one out of the park, waxing poetic about being responsive to all the people.
Such stirring words, and certainly President Obama has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to respecting the values of those who disagree with him.
He has always respected the viewpoints of Republicans, and signaled his willingness to work with them.
He has shown his courtesy to political opponents, especially those whom he defeated in election.
Most importantly, Barack Obama has consistently shown that he truly cares about bettering the lives of all Americans.
Truly, he is a model for all future presidents.

I stand by my statements on Barack Hussein Obama that I wrote in other com boxes here at TAC. He advocates the murder of the unborn and newly born. He sanctifies the filth of homosexual sodomy and lesbianism. He bankrupts the nation by increasing debt and stealing from the public treasury. He is evil – as evil as his predecessor, King Manasseh of Judah. Yes, he is in the style of Chicago gangsters. Yes, he has contributed nothing new to the liberal, progressive cause, but only enacted what they already supported. But like every murderous gangster thug before him, he is evil.
I suppose now I should take another OxyContin and calm down. Jeremiah never had that option when he confronted the King in Jerusalem (not that I am a Jeremiah – I don’t qualify).
Sorry, Paul Z. Yours is a good post. But I get so angry and frustrated at all this. That godless man has time to go on David Letterman’s TV show and campaign against Romney, but he doesn’t have time for national security conferences, attendance at which is necessary for the protection of ALL the people.
Barack Hussein Obama is NOT my President. NOT! And never ever will be.
So, does Mitt merit equal time?
I understand that Obama also claimed in this interview that the national deficit is “not a problem”, and when asked what the deficit was when he took office, said he doesn’t remember. He is artful at rhetoric, and at denying our most critical problems! As a Catholic, I would like to hear the alternative to Obama tell us that he cares about all Americans even though he knows they won’t all give him their vote, and that as a society, our goal is that dependency is a temporary status on the road to self-sufficiency through good jobs and better incomes (with exceptions, of course, such as retired or disabled.)
Somebody at the Daily Caller had the same idea as me. http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/19/obama-is-the-president-of-all-americans-not-just-the-ones-who-agree-with-him-so-shut-up/
It wasn’t too long ago that former congressman Patrick Kennedy did an interview
where he briefly touched on the necessity of raising funds for the White House in
order to insure continuing good relations. He seemed to regard it as only natural
that POTUS should closely track monies forwarded by congressmen of his own party
and cause his face to shine only upon those who coughed up enough. Naturally, the
flip side of that coin is the implication that this president is less of a president for
those who are unwilling to pay to play.
“So I feel that I’ve been President for all Americans – the stupid Cambridge Police, the members of my security detail who wouldn’t think twice about shooting a black guy, doctors who perform unnecessary amputations out of greed; bankers and pitchfork-wielding mobs; Hispanics and their enemies, who I encouraged them to attack; the people who were entitled to money when GM went bankrupt, and the people who got money when GM went bankrupt; filmmakers critical of Islam who give me lots of money, and filmmakers critical of Islam who are invited to come downtown for routine questioning.”
“It’s on behalf of all of those people that I have worked as hard as I can. That’s what you’ve seen the past few years. Me, working as hard as I can. Barring only occasional moments of rest – a couple of rounds of golf each month, watching less than half of the college basketball that ESPN and ESPN2 televises, a bit of daily exercise, and the odd date night flight to New York or Chicago or Los Angeles or Paris or Rio or Casablanca or Majorca or Fiji or Maui or only a couple of dozen other places – I’m at work every waking moment.”
“I don’t think most Americans realize how much is involved in this job, probably because I make it look so easy, but I have to give a lot of speeches in front of a lot of admirers, and I feel like I owe it to them to make it the greatest experience of their lives. It’s not just speeches, either. There are a lot of dinners where I have to listen to other speeches, and campaign material to film, interviews to sit through, donation reports to review, photo shoots of me working to arrange, state dinners to host, just many different things. Tonight alone, Dave, I’m not just here talking to you, I have to go have dinner next to Beyonce later. Again.”
“And then there’s the foreign affairs component – of course my opponents are new to diplomacy – but it’s a very important component of my job to meet with foreign leaders, smooth over damage that has been done to our relationship due to missteps by previous administrations, and explain to them what I have noticed about how they can fix various problems in their countries.”
“The truth is, I don’t think Mitt Romney is capable of doing what I’ve done over the past three and a half years, and frankly I think deep down he knows it.”

‘Cept us bitter people clinging to God . . . guns . . . ‘stills . . .
And, Catholics that oppose abortion and artificial contraception . .
And, GM bondholders from whom he stole . . .
And, the evil rich that don’t pay their fair share to house, feed and clothe looters, moochers, and 17,000,000 bureaucrats and politicians . . .
And, “stupid” cambridge police . . .
And, filmmakers critical of Islam who are invited to come downtown for questioning.
And, he’s a Chicago gangster/politician.
St. Augustine, “Government without justice is mass brigandage.”
“It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
Except the innocent. He has a real affection for killing children in the womb.
Paul, you comment is an oasis of reason.
