“What do you think of this?” she asked.

The president remarked that this was the type of question a reporter would ask.

“This is a budding reporter,” he quipped.

I agree, a softball. Just asking his opinion of another's comment...He is so shallow, even when they try to take it easy on him, he thinks they are attacking him.

Man, are we’re going to have trouble getting him out of the White House.

This man has NO intention no intention of leaving this 'house'. . .nor the power seat it affords him. (Nor ever having to abandon all the attendant 'perks' thereof. . .)

‘Extreme democracy leads to tyranny.’
I guess Obama has been ‘selected’ to be the tyrant.

He either believes his own BS or he is the world’s greatest BS-er of all time. No way he can believe the crap he keeps spewing.

““So here’s the bottom line of your question,” he finally said. “If you’ve got health insurance and you’re happy with it, you’re going to keep it.””
HAHAHA! Liar!
What about if I don’t have any insurance and I’m happy with it, eh you dirty swine? Can I keep that?

Of course, it is our Constitution that prevents the 'tyranny' - and the frickin tyrant. . .it is the one obstacle in Obama's way; until, he brushes it aside in favor of 'his will/ and his agenda. . .his tyranny.

These people deserve. . .invite. . .and earn the hate.
