The Partisan U.S. President

Brushing aside legitimate criticism, concerns, and harsh questioning of the Obama Administration in wake of the Christmas "dingaling" bomber (as talk radio host Michael Medved refers to Umar Farouk Abdulmullatab), President Obama concluded his weekly radio address (January 2, 2010) with the following call for national unity:

But as we go forward, let us remember this-our adversaries are those who would attack our country, not our fellow Americans, not each other. Let's never forget what has always carried us through times of trial, including those attacks eight Septembers ago. [Did he just invoke 9/11 (not the first time, actually)? Something President Bush was criticized for doing repeatedly?- wordsmith]

Instead of giving in to fear and cynicism, let's renew that timeless American spirit of resolve and confidence and optimism. Instead of succumbing to partisanship and division, let's summon the unity that this moment demands. Let's work together, with a seriousness of purpose, to do what must be done to keep our country safe.

As we begin this New Year, I cannot imagine a more fitting resolution to guide us-as a people and as a nation.

As Medved pointed out in his program Monday, if the president wishes for politics to "stop at the water's edge", why then did he feel it necessary to include the following, earlier in the same speech:

“The Partisan U.S. President”

It’s safe to say that every president beside Washington were partisans. How about we call Obama “The Crappy U.S. President”.

This crap isn’t going to end. IMHO, the White House brain trust’s idea of a strategy for 2010 will once again be to run against George W. Bush. It’ll flop, but that’s what they’ll do.

..........
So in the empty head of Zero.
America is some seperate entity. Not made up of people.

If anyone needed a clear picture of how dangerous this guy is this is it.

When you subtract the American People from the equation of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
The possibilities of destruction of our Country is just a matter of symantics for Zero.
