34. IOW, he doesn't have a clue what he's doing and couldn't care less.

And "standing up for civil rights"??????? Ha! That's a good one! A knee slapper.

Maybe he should re-read his own statement against reigning in the NSA. And maybe he ought to ditch the free trade deals he's cooking up. His performance today was nothing but hype.

Let me tell you something, and I don't care if you believe me or not, it's true... I was really in his corner, when he starts losing people like me, he is fucking up bad.

I don't think I've ever criticized Obama until today, certainly not much if at all. But I have had it with this bullshit now. And his cutesy talk doesn't mean squat to me. There are a few politicians left who care, God bless 'em, but he is not one of them. I predict that when his term is done, he will break all records in amassing a nice bank acount for himself. He'll probably be in the billionaire's club in no time.
