Obama: 'You Can't Do Things By Yourself' Daniel Halper February 26, 2013 2:36 PM

President Obama said that "you can't do things by yourself" at a speech today in Virginia:

"You know, the one thing about being president is, after four years, you get pretty humble. You'd think maybe you wouldn't but actually you become more humble--you realize what you don't know," Obama said.

"You realize all the mistakes you made. But you also realize you can't do things by yourself. That's not how our system works. You've got to have the help and the goodwill of Congress, and what that means is you've got to make sure that constituents of members of Congress are putting some pressure on them, making sure they're doing the right thing."

America elected a fourth grader to be the president.

Thinking back over the last 365 days, I can’t think of one where I said: “Jeez, I couldn’t have done that w/o the Federal Government and Bronco Bama.”

The “right thing” is not spending your grand children’s money and giving up the country of their ancestors.

'You Can't Do Things By Yourself'

Haw, Haw! He certainly is trying to be King and is doing it 'By' himself through Executive Orders. Executive orders, as defined by the US Supreme Court, to apply to his own office and the Military. So when he did an Executive Order on guns, he was certainly 'Doing Things' by Himself.

Haw, Haw! What a Joke.

Oops, that didn't turn out right...

Obama..."...that means is you've got to make sure that constituents of members of Congress are putting some pressure on them, making sure they're doing the right thing what I want them to do." There, that's better.

So Obama has become “pretty humble”? Gee, I hadn’t noticed.

If this is how he behaves when he’s humble I would hate to see how he behaves when he’s being an arrogant prick.

you realize what you don't know," Obama said.

To realize what you don't know requires requires conceptual thought which Libtards either refuse or are unable to do. They function only by means of emotions and groupthink.

I grew up in a time when kids and presidents believed Americans could do just about anything.
And we did - Americans put men on the moon and brought them back using slide rules, electromechanical devices, brains and hard work.
Americans built the Empire State building in one year and 45 days.
Today we can't build a school crossing in that time.

In WWII America built 100,000 tanks, 100,000 trucks, 325,000 airplanes, and hundreds of naval ships and submarines.

Afer WWII (less than 4 years from Pearl Harbor to VJ Day) We went on to build nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers and provided most of the world with telephones, cars and TV's.

Today we have a pansy, politically corect culture and a president determined to turn America into just another 3d world country.
It's becoming almost impossible to see anything done right the first time because of political correctness - too many people are employed because of their skin color or sexual preferences - not because they are the best at what they do.

Barack Obama is the most glaring example of a man employed because of his skin color, and filling a job he is incapable of doing

He is a doofus, "educated" beyond his intelligence.
He knows he is a bumbling idiot at everything except smearing the bull-crap and believes everyone else is as ignorant, incompetent and incapable as he is - that's why he makes these incredibly stupid assertions - he really believes them.

Master of the Obvious

I need someone else to make my clothes for me to buy.
I need someone else to lay and maintain the roads for me to travel on.
I need someone else to provide the gas for my car.
I need someone else to...

on and on

Why does Obama always say "you" when he means "I," and says "I" when he means "you?"

But you also realize you can't do things by yourself.

Speak for yourself, mutton-head.
