"We've got a lot of hard work we've still got to do."

I love the way the big slacker always throws this term around. It should read: "We've got a lot of hard work we've (you've) still got to do." lol

He can find time to honor gays during gay pride month when he promises to push for repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’, but he can’t find time to honor fallen veterans on Memorial Day, or WWII vets on D-Day. And we should respect this man as Commander in Chief because . . . .??????

Meanwhile unemployment is at 10%.

There is a hole in the earth gushing out 100,000 barrels of oil a day.

He shuts off our domestic oil production.

Yet he has time to have a party for gay activists.

Some body needs to teach this so called President about priorities.
