President Obama acknowledged Monday to a major union that he hasn't been "a perfect president," but stressed that he's stuck to his promise to keep working for them.
"When I was running for this office, I told people, I'm not perfect, I'm not a perfect man -- Michelle can tell you that," he said, straying from his prepared remarks, at the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department Legislative Conference, before adding that he's "not a perfect president."
Obama has, at times, had a rocky relationship with the labor movement, which spent hundreds of millions of dollars working to elect him in 2008 and is expected to do the same this year. He's been working to strengthen ties in recent months, and in February gave a combative speech attacking Mitt Romney's position on the auto bailout to the UAW.
Despite not being perfect, Obama said he's still worked with labor in mind. "I made a promise I’d always tell you where I stood, I’d always tell you what I thought, what I believed in and, most importantly, I’d wake up every single day working as hard as I know how to make your lives a little bit better," he said, drawing on lines he often uses at fundraisers, though not in official speeches.

Andrew Breitbart left us knowing more than he had time to disclose to us.
What did he know that we need to re-discover, document and publish?
Why are ALL of Obama’s important early documents forged?
Where was Obama during his “Lost Years?”
Why are there so few known Obama childhood friends?
How many of Obama’s childhood buddies are still alive?
Was Obama a FOREIGN student at Occidental, Columbia or Harvard?
Who wrote the checks for Obama’s education?
Where these question that Andrew Beitbart knew some of the answers to?

To tie the above with some speculative food for thought, please indulge me, (but DO ponder the speculations), as I re-post one of my recently updated comments as follows:
A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.
Currently, at least 40 % of polled American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his arrogant dictatorship.
About 47 % of American voters pay NO Personal Federal Income Taxes. These voters are the “fair share” voter base for Dictator Obama. We, in the 53 %, then are paying this 47 % to vote for Obama by virtue of us paying taxes for ourselves AND them.
In this manner we are supporting the voters who vote for Obama, and they will vote to do so again in November.
Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is to be re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).
The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he has already achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.
Obama’s obvious arrogant and deep hatred of America could have only come from what he was taught in his childhood.
Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.
The lack of credible documents that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.
Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the Interpol, CIA and the FBI.
Will “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy the latter two US tax-funded spy entities?
BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.
BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculations: what does your gut tell you?

The questions we ask
Are simple to say,
One wonders why they
Were not asked,
Back in the Day?
Dog-eating freak.
Obama is not only the worst president in history, he is probably in the top 1/000th of 1 per cent of really sorry people.
As near as I can tell, by such votes as those on partial birth abortion, he is an inhuman monster. Probably more evil than most murderers. I mean he is one sorry example of living tissue.
“Obama says he’s ‘not a perfect president’.”
Dang. Who would have guessed? I guess the plastic Greek columns fooled me.
The most narcissistic President in history.
Well he is perfect in a manner of speaking.....
He is the perfect example of an A** H***.
Ask SEAL team 6 if he qualifies for that distinction.
It is difficult to smoke when you have your head up your A** all the time
Perfect?
Hell. He isn't even minimally competent. Not even close!
Not being aware of his shortcomimgs and limitations can only make things worse.
Saying "oops" after destroying the lives of millions will not be nearly enough.
I must take issue with his self assessment. He is a perfect asshole.
“Hell. He isn’t even minimally competent.”
As Rush says, he is the least competent person in any room he enters. Including the great outdoors.
This goes along with the personality cult of Obama. By saying that he isn’t perfect (who knew/sarc), he is being oh so humble, which makes him seem perfect (barf) and ever, ever so likable (barf). If someone is actual perfect they are be too humble to say so, which makes them perfect. It’s part of his persona of being such a nice guy that we are all suppose to want to be nice back, and vote for him. Also we are all suppose to think that he is perfect, and a god, and therefore we should all, eventually at least, worship him. It’s amazing how many of his followers still seem to worship and adore him.
