31. I can't believe we need a list.

I need only one. He saved my GM pension.

I was only weeks away from a drastic change in lifestyle, and no one imagined GM would get the federal funds to avoid solvency and a shredding of UAW contracts. Republicans don't hate Corvettes after all, they hate the union, and they were working overtime to see GM circle the drain and take the UAW with it. Then in a republican wet dream, some corporate hero would step in and take over with minimum wages and no benefits.

I don't care if Obama strafes my house with a freakin' drone and logs every keystroke I make. He had my back, now I have his. If anyone thinks that makes me a lackey, I ask if they'd be willing to sacrifice their very livelihood in a trade off for one of their pet Obama peeves.

One of the greatest presidents ever. K&R
