At the 2013 White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Obama professed that he’s looking to shake things up and improve his image in his second term as president. So it was only natural, POTUS said in his speech, to take a cue from his wife…
I know something about a lot of things, I know a little about somethings and I know everything about a few things.
About the Presidency of The United States, and what it takes to be a successful POTUS, I know nothing. You see, I took civics classes in college, and have a general working knowledge of politics and especially the office of The President, but that knowledge does not scratch the surface of what really goes on inside the Oval Office.
I voted for this Man to be President because I trust him, his agenda and his judgement to “Do The Right Thing.”.
I voted for Barack Hussein Obama. Twice. Because I trust HIM and his judgement, to work doing whatever it takes to make the greatest number of Americans the most beneficial recipients of his accomplishments.
You know what I detest most in politics? No, it’s not the TeaTardedRepubliCANTS. I detest a voter who votes for a politician then turns around hating on what that politician does while in office.
I have observed over the last four months, so called Obama supporters gripe, bitch, moan and complain, exactly like a spoiled grouchy asinine, 3 year old Donald Trump, about everything from Chained CPI to Keystone XL Pipeline to where The Presidents daughters vacation during spring break.
I am sick & tired of a bitchin American population.
See I voted for Barack Hussein Obama confident in the realization that I KNOW JACK SHIT ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. So, when I voted for Barack, in November of 2012, I cast that vote with confidence that MY vote was cast for a man who knew what to do.
I don’t ever need to sign NO dumbass petitions “telling” Barack Hussein Obama “to do this”…..”or to do that”……or to “not do such & such”…..
I voted for him because he convinced me he already knows what to do. AND WHAT NOT TO DO.
Now I am going to “suggest” that all you petition circulating ninnies leave me the fuck alone. Don’t send me petitions to sign suggesting jack squat to The President.
Who would I be to “suggest” anything to the one man who is qualified to run this country?
Think about it for a second…..or two……This President is a Harvard educated lawyer, a man who worked as a community organizer, married father of two beautiful daughters and husband to a better half that easily makes them both the most powerful couple on this planet……and some idiot is sending HIM petitions “suggesting” shit?
President Barack Hussein Obama said. “Why wouldn’t we want to make it more difficult for a dangerous person to get his or her hand on a gun?”
“And I want to make sure every American is listening today. Less than 100 days ago that happened, and the entire country was shocked. And the entire country pledged we would do something about it and that this time would be different. Shame on us if we’ve forgotten. I haven’t forgotten those kids. Shame on us if we’ve forgotten.”
How Many People Have Been Killed by Guns Since Newtown?

“You cannot grow this economy from the top down. You grow this economy from the middle class out. We’re not going to go back to what we were doing before. We’re moving forward.”
President Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4th, 1961, to a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas. Growing up, he was also raised by his grandfather, who served in Patton’s army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to become vice president at a local bank.
After working his way through school with the help of scholarship money and student loans, President Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked as an organizer to help rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants.
He went on to Harvard Law School, where he was elected the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. After graduating, President Obama went on to lead one of the most successful voter registration drives in state history, and continued his legal work as a civil rights lawyer and a professor teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago.
Barack Obama was first elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996. During his time in Springfield, he passed the first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working families, and expanded health care for children and their parents. Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004, he reached across the aisle to pass the farthest-reaching lobbyist reform in a generation, lock up the world’s most dangerous weapons, and bring transparency to government by tracking federal spending online.
Barack Obama as sworn in as president on January 20th, 2009. He took office in the middle of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, at a time when our economy was losing 800,000 jobs a month. He acted immediately to get our economy back on track. Today, the private sector has added back more than 5 million jobs. There’s more work to do, but we’re on the right track.
The President believes an economy built to last starts with a strong and growing middle class—that’s why he has a plan to create jobs and restore economic security to working families. He’s been driven by the basic values that make our country great: America prospers when we’re all in it together, when hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and when everyone—from Main Street to Wall Street—does their fair share and plays by the same rules.
Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., was born on November 20th, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The oldest of four siblings, Biden graduated from the University of Delaware and Syracuse Law School. He served on the New Castle County Council before becoming one of the youngest people ever elected to the United States Senate at the age of 29.
Biden served in the Senate for 36 years, working across domestic and international issues. He was the Chairman or senior Democrat of the Senate Judiciary Committee for 17 years, where his work on criminal justice issues included the landmark 1994 Crime Bill and the Violence Against Women Act. In his role as the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he helped shape U.S. foreign policy on counter terrorism and curbing the spread of weapons of mass destruction. In addition, Senator Biden played an instrumental role in strengthening America’s relationship with post-Cold War Europe, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia.
Since being sworn into office as the 47th vice president of the United States on January 20th, 2009, his work has been key to many of the Obama administration’s major foreign and domestic policy initiatives, including the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, support for the middle class, college affordability, and revitalizing America’s manufacturing base.
Drawing on his years of foreign policy experience, the Vice President advises the President on a range of international issues. In 2010, he worked with Senate leaders to secure their approval of the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia. Vice President Biden played a key role in bringing about a responsible end to the war in Iraq, traveling to the country eight times since 2009—most recently in December 2011 to mark the end of U.S. combat operations.
Over the past four years, the Vice President has represented our country in every region of the world:
Securing European support for the Obama administration’s approach to missile defense
Working with Latin American leaders to combat drug trafficking and international crime
Building relationships with key leaders in Africa
Reestablishing our leadership in the Asia-Pacific region
