Obama: Only I'm the president of the U.S.
Chicago Trib ^ | 6/23/09 | Mark Silva

Posted on 06/23/2009 4:37:07 PM PDT by pissant

David Axelrod, making the rounds of news shows tonight to polish the administration's messages coming out of President Barack Obama's news conference today, talked about the talk the administration is having about Iran and North Korea.

The problem, Republicans are complaining, is that it's all talk, and no walk.

But the president himself addressed that question today, when asked about Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham calling his response to Iran timid and weak, and then asked if the words that he used today for Iran's treatment of protestors -- "deplored, appalled'' and "outraged'' - were "influenced at all by McCain's and Graham's accusations.''

"What do you think?'' Obama abruptly asked the reporter, with a bit of "duh'' in the air, followed by nervous laughter in the press room.

"I think John McCain has genuine passion about many of these international issues and, you know, I think that all of us share a belief that we want justice to prevail,'' Obama said. "But only I'm the president of the United States. And I've got responsibilities in making certain that we are continually advancing our national security interests, and that we are not used as a tool to be exploited by other countries.''

"But only I'm the president of the United States."

Yet another version of "I won." It's as if he feels he has to keep reminding himself. ...and everyone else.

He’s a frikkin hologram, and a testy one today. Dear Leader does not tolerate a media that does not adore him.

“But only I’m the president of the United States.....”

If you have to continually tell people that you are important, it proves that your not convinced either.

I wish he had expressed this instead of attacking pres Bush for all those many years.

Democrats can be always remindful of what ails a Republican President, but put them in charge and everyone just needs to back off, see?

well not if I can help it,.

I now question every bozo voter I see with a bozo sticker and ask them how they think he is doing and then question it.

Mention millions losing jobs, the debt, mention you’re not a fan of bailouts under Bush either, mention how the foreign policy is not going good or how our allies scorn on their messiah and they quickly melt away with shame.

Also mention little comments while in a waiting room, a line etc and the word is getting out.

My wife was in a waiting room and as soon as she saw him she said out loud not this idiot again , can he ruin us any more.

She nearly dropped when everyone agreed including a woman who has just left school and cannot get a job and voted for him

So, he’s more concerned about the mullas telling him to stay out of their business then he is about the people fighting and dying to be free? Apparently!

Good thing Reagan wasn’t worried about the Russians slapping his wrist.

I liked how the author, Mark Silva, didn’t capitalize the word “President” for Zer0’s quote.

“But only I’m the president of the United States.”

How many times does the malignant narcissist use the word I

I watched his address or the 65th Anniversary of the Nomandy invasion just so I could time it on how long before he said the word "I".

It was the FIRST damn word out of his mouth.

Even Sarozy didn't say "I" until the very end of his speech.

Did you also notice him refer to he tobacco law today as "MY LAW"?

He is a frikkin megalomaniac.

The media doesn’t enjoy unprotected sex with this president as much as they thought they would.

i9indeed .
I saw how he became annoyed at the press today and thought just how much can this media take by looking like idiots by him.

One ABC reporter asked a question and bozo made him look stupid and some other reporters were laughing at him.
I saw Major Garrett not laughing and some others but if I was that ABC reporter I would make every report look bad for him.
Saying that I am not in the cult though.

When he bows and he says not I still say bow as they just go along with it as the sheep they are

How nice of Axelrod to take time off from the hard work of being a leader of the Jews destroying Israel and talk to Wolf.

Malignant narcissism is far worse than megalomaniacal IMO. Considering the topic we are on, this potus, that is.

"I think that I should like it to rain...
They're on their way sire...

I think that I should like my world to cool. I shall take all the credit of course...

Yes Obama, you are the only president of the USA.

Now put on your big boy pants, and remember that it is YOUR job to defend this nation when NUTJOBS threaten to launch a missile at Hawaii.
