What a difference a day makes
President Obama, Sunday, at the dedication of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial:
If he were alive today, I believe he would remind us that the unemployed worker can rightly challenge the excesses of Wall Street without demonizing all who work there; that the businessman can enter tough negotiations with his company’s union without vilifying the right to collectively bargain. He would want us to know we can argue fiercely about the proper size and role of government without questioning each other’s love for this country -- (applause) -- with the knowledge that in this democracy, government is no distant object but is rather an expression of our common commitments to one another. He would call on us to assume the best in each other rather than the worst, and challenge one another in ways that ultimately heal rather than wound.
President Obama, Monday, on his taxpayer-funded re-election bus tour:
President Obama used some of the harshest rhetoric of his term today in denouncing the Republican jobs plan, saying the GOP's emphasis on less regulations would harm the environment, undercut health care and fail to produce necessary jobs in the short term.
"You got their plan, which is let's have dirtier air, dirtier water, (and) less people with health insurance," Obama said in kicking off a three-day bus tour at the airport in Asheville, N.C.

He's so divisive and disrespectful. I mean he's truly offensive. "Miss Me Yet"? Bush was wrong on many things, but on his personal view of how to conduct himself as President was at least nowhere near this petty level CRAP.
