WEST NEWTON, Mass. - President Barack Obama said Americans' "fear and frustration" is to blame for an intense midterm election cycle that threatens to derail the Democratic agenda.
"Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared,” Obama said Saturday evening in remarks at a small Democratic fundraiser Saturday evening. “And the country's scared.” Obama told the several dozen donors that he was offering them his “view from the Oval Office.” He faulted the economic downturn for Americans’ inability to “think clearly” and said the burden is on Democrats “to break through the fear and the frustration people are feeling.”
“You can respond in a couple of ways to a trauma like this,” Obama said, referring to the economy. “One is to pull back, retrench and respond to your fears by pushing away challenges, looking backwards. Another is to say we can meet these challenges and we are going to move forward. And that’s what this election is about.”

What an arrogant, insulting bastard this POS is. Fear? Frustration? The prick bastard wishes it was so.
Disgusted and determined describes us better. This SOB is NOT going to turn my country into the third world shithole he dreams of.
White straightjacket? I think an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs are more appropriate.
In zero’s case, all the OJT in the world won’t help. The Underachiever-in-Chief is just another useless parasite imbued with the authority to hold the world hostage in his grasp while wielding the hammer and sickle with his other iron fist.
It’s hard to believe he went to Harvard when his grammar is so bad. Will someone please teach him how to congregate verbs and speak in complete sentences? Moron! I can’t get past that to listen to his inane dribble.
