It is time to stop this terrible administration! Government needs to stop trying to run our lives. Obama's narcissist attitude and attempt to label anyone who does not agree with him 'enemy' is unbelievable.

"Well, Mr. President, I've got a word for those people, those people who oppose your policies, those people who love our Constitution, who love freedom, and love the principals that America was built on. You know what I call those people, not enemies, they're patriots," he said to loud cheers and sustained applause.

It is not what you do when everyone is watching.

It is what you do when you think no one is watching.



Think about that for one moment. Just one moment.
Think hard.

It was a poor word choice by Obama... I be willing to bet that as soon as he said it he was thinking to himself, holy crap, did I just say that out loud? Ah crap, they are going to use that against me in the 2012 run... hint to politicians never refer to Americans as your "enemies"...

Yes. And I shudder to think what this man has done and will continue to do that we do not know about since it is done behind closed doors.

Boy, you people have short and selective memories.

What were those who criticized George Bush called? Brothers? LOL

Hell, they even called John McCain a traitor when ran against Bush in 2000!

Maybe he should review his speeches BEFORE the words flash on the teleprompter.

And when exactly did Bush call his critics 'enemies'? And when did he call McCain a traitor?

Because, you see, it's one thing for me to say it..or you, or anyone else.
It's quite another thing altogether when the President labels fellow Americans as 'enemies'.
