We all know Obama is a puppet, and so are all other past and future presidents. "This country (America) was bought and sold off a while ago,the shit they shuffle around every four years...doesn't mean a thing..."
-George Carlin.

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe reports: President Obama, like any other President, has his fair share of critics. Even fourth-graders have noticed.

"Why do people hate you?", a fourth-grade boy asked Obama at a town hall event in New Orleans today. "They're supposed to love you. And God is love."

"That's what I'm talking about," replied the President.

"First of all, I did get elected president, so not everybody hates me," Obama noted, before adding, "What is true is if you were watching TV lately, it seems like everybody's just getting mad all the time. And I -- you know, I think that you've got to take it with a grain of salt. Some of it is just what's called politics where, you know, once one party wins, then the other party kind of gets -- feels like it needs to poke you a little bit to keep you on your toes."

"And so you shouldn't take it too seriously," Obama told the boy. "And then, sometimes, as I said before, people just -- I think they're worried about their own lives. A lot of people are losing their jobs right now. A lot of people are losing their health care or they've lost their homes to foreclosure, and they're feeling frustrated. And when you're president of the United States, you know, you've got to deal with all of that."
"You get some of the credit when things go good. And when things are going tough, then, you know, you're going to get some of the blame, and that's part of the job," he continued. "But, you know, I'm a pretty tough guy."
"You've just got to keep on going, even when folks are criticizing you, because -- as long as you know that you're doing it for other people, all right?" Obama concluded.
The boy's question was the last one the President fielded at his event at the University of New Orleans, his first trip to the city since being elected to the Oval Office.

  • Pretty sure obama is winning.

  • @unicursalhex Get a damn grip, conservative troll. -_- I dropped this garbage conversation over 2 weeks ago....

  • @theluigifan1 What the fuck kind of libtard shit are you smokin'? I have stated absolute facts, just because you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground doesn't mean that facts are opinions. Its ok, I use to be a cow-eyed libtard too when I was young, its not too late to sprout a brain.

  • people get a grip, the boy had a good question

    and obama gave a good answer.... at that point in time obama was

    being hated and ridiculed fox news like it was no tomorrow. heck, he was being

    trashed with threats before the elections.

  • Because you pass dumb laws -.-

  • @unicursalhex No, unlike you, i have a life. And it seems to me YOU don't know shit because you are stating OPINIONS not facts dipshit. -_-

  • @theluigifan1 You don't know shit. Try me. Whats the matter, afraid you'll get your ass kicked?

  • @unicursalhex Oh look, another conservative. I'm not going to get into a debate with you because you're obviously too immature enough to bring in curse words on people during politics. Go try some other loser.

  • @theluigifan1 Its all a fucking act. Do you really think the president calls the shots? Wake up dummy! the banks call the shots, they say jump and the president says "how high?" They are purposely destroying the economy so they can buy up all the tangible assets for pennies. If you mother fuckers don't start waking up on a massive scale we're all fucked.

  • I know the answer: Because you are a lying globalist ass puppet
