However, BO doesn't seem to have much respect for any else whose job it is to look out for their states. Ask Jan Brewer.
Point taken.

Really? It would seem to many that Obama is putting Soros's and the UN's agenda before the people of this country. Why else as Comander-in-Chief did he go to the UN about Libya and skip speaking with Congress at large until several days after bombing started? Why else would he have Hillary Clinton sign UN treaties that violate our Constitution and never get Congress to pass approval on those by 2/3rds?

He can think? I thought he was a puppet on strings. Why just today I bought a t shirt that says:

January 20th, 2013 The end of a ERROR.

of course the O is that logo the chosen one used.

I plan to wear this T shirt a lot

But it would not be good for the country. See how that works?

So when Obama points out that the perspective of a Senator is different than the perspective of a President, and those who hate Obama try to present it as some sort of faux-pas, they are really demonstrating something entirely different, perhaps a difficulty to handle nuanced thoughts?
Why are you trying to explain college level thinking to fifth graders!!!!

Obama was merely explaining that in his position as a Senator, his role was as an advocate for the state of Illinois. That is his foremost responsibility, to represent the goals and wants of his state to the President.

When the man says something that any fifth grader in civics is taught, all the half-baked conspiracy nuts come out the wood work.

It simply boils down to the "I'll bash Obama" syndrome.

The POTUS in the past week or so has REALLY taken over as "THE GIFT WHO KEEPS ON GIVING" with his mouth so to lose many of his votes in 2012. In essence he has done non-Obama supporters a huge favor.

Thanks POTUS and just think you'll be able to no longer pretend anymore on certain things starting in the end of 1/2013.

Really? I think he was correct to vote against raising the debt ceiling before. More in Congress should have voted to not raise it. Had Congress not allowed the debt to grow we might not be in the mess we are today.

However, now that Obama wants to spend his agenda into place (by growing the size and scope of the federal government) he has had a "change of heart and mind" about what is best for the country. Do you really think anyone is going to buy that piece of face-saving campaign tripe when the rest of his ideology hasn't changed? Really?

Most of us weren't born last Friday. YMMV

One of the nearly countless flaws with the POS in the Whitehouse (Obama) is that He SAYS one thing, but SAYS another thing, and then goes out and SAYS another thing..., all of which contradict each other 'cause he is just spewing BS from his cakehole.

November 2012 can't get here soon enough so America can puke with bucket of pureed poop out of our system. He is a malignancy on the USA, a walking, talking cancer.

There is not enough room in the known universe contain a sufficient and appropriate amount of Obama-bashing. That pigs is doing everything in his power to destroy a nation he had NOTHING to do with the creation of. He is a steaming pile, with apologies to steam and piles.

What was that pig "merely" doing when he voted "present" 170 times as a state senator in IL (apologies to swine, worldwide).
