OK, on the topic of Obama I am continually amazed at the never ending supply of sour grapes his election has brought forth, why we could feed the world!

Honesty is a ***** ain't it.

Shocking revelation, a legislative representative has a different perspective on policy than a president!

I'm shocked, shocked I say!

Some folks really need to grow up.

OK
Clearly this man should not be president, nor a senator. So when he swears his oath of office and promises to uphold the constitution and such, its all just words to him.

We are supposed to believe that he is not "playing around with this stuff "now, that he cares more about the country and our children's future now, even though he is running for reelection? I guess that just over two years ago he was a self absorbed senator, but he really cares now?

Obama's just really sorry that he actually voted in a way other than "present" and has to defend himself when the shoe is on the other foot. I don't feel one bit sorry for the hypocrit.

Yes, we need a prez that works as the right hand of god to eliminate all disagreeable people. Gud bless America!

The job of a Senator is to represent his state. Sometimes, and I know many of you have difficulty understanding this very simple concept, what's good for a state is not good for the country. For instance, some Michigan legislators have proposed bailing out Detroit. Now, for the state of Michigan, a large infusion of capital into Detroit would be tremendously good for the state. 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?

OK
Then he needs to remember that. And quit sending his lap dog Holder out to states to tell them how to run their states.

Nothing we didn't already know. His only interest, throughout his entire life it appears, is to see how much Barry can do for Barry.

I agree, it is the job of a Senator to represent his state.

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.
