He says this is not about him, and then he goes on for a very long time making it all about him.

Remarks of President Barack Obama—As Prepared for Delivery
Lorain County Community College Town Hall
Elyria, Ohio - January 22, 2010

But this isn't about me. It's about you. I didn't take up this issue to boost my poll numbers or score political points – believe me, if I were, I would have picked something a lot easier than this. No, I'm trying to solve the problems that folks here in Elyria and across this country face every day. And I am not going to walk away just because it's hard. We're going to keep on working to get this done with Democrats, Republicans – anyone who is willing to step up. Because I am not going to watch more people get crushed by costs, or denied the care they need by insurance company bureaucrats, or partisan politics, or special interest power in Washington.

Let me tell you – so long as I have the privilege of serving as your President, I'll never stop fighting for you. I'll take my lumps, too. I'll never stop fighting to bring jobs back to Elyria. I'll never stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded, where responsibility is honored, where accountability is upheld, where we're creating the jobs of tomorrow.

That's why I'm calling on Congress...
So long as I'm President, I'll never stop fighting for policies ...
I'll never stop fighting...
I'll never stop fighting...
So long as I'm President, I'll never stop fighting to protect you...
That's why I signed...
And that's why I'm fighting...
I'll never stop fighting...
So long as I'm President, I'll never stop fighting to cut ...
And I'm going to keep up the fight...
And that's why I'll continue fighting...
And I can promise you...
because I want to charge...
You know, I said ...
it means to me...
But when I get out...
I'm reminded...
I'm reminded...
I am so privileged to serve....

Another Lie. It has always been all about him and his need to stroke his massive ego.

Default Bushisms

"Where dreams take wing."

Here's a good one. "Rarely is the question asked, IS our children learning?"

Compared to that imbecile, President Obama is untouchable...and don't you forget it either.

He lies.

Health care reform, cap and trade, amnesty for illegals are all agendas Obama desperately wants his name attached to before leaving office... no matter the detriment to America.

Yeah, that's why he's tanking even more in the polls, that's why more people consider his 1st year a failure than a success, that's why his radical policies just lost a Senate seat in true liberal Mass, a seat held by the beloved Teddy The Swimmer Kennedy.

Obama is 0-3 in campaigning...he is toxic.

Did anybody watch this today? It was pathetic and embarrassing.

So when someone says something like "I'm doing this for you, not for me" that means he's not allowed to say anything about what he will do?

What, no real issues to criticize in anti-Obama-for-the-sake-of-anti-Obama-land?
