Offering his most extensive public comments about the election debacle in Massachusetts, President Obama acknowledged that he's taking some lumps but also trying to cast himself as a populist who will "never stop fighting" to bring health care reform and jobs to communities like this hard-hit manufacturing area outside Cleveland.
"Let me tell you, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I'll never stop fighting for you," Obama said at the beginning of a town hall meeting with voters Friday. "I'll take my lumps, too. I'll never stop fighting to bring jobs back to Elyria. I'll never stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded, where responsibility is honored, where accountability is upheld, where we're creating the jobs of tomorrow."

Where’s the pic of this “fighter” trying to hide behind MO—looking like a real girly man— with two men wrestling (or something) on grounds of the WH?

No be he is as smart as Jim Jones I think. So the question is how much damage and how many of us will he take with him when it becomes 'Kool Aid" time?

That was Paul Wellstoned’s trademark.
Dub his rants over any Mussolini podium- pounding speech and you’d have a Youtube sensation.

I hope he manages to jam Obamacare through. If he does, next November will be a nuclear winter for the Democrats...That may win us one battle defeating democrats, but America will have lost the war in preventing another gigantic government entitlement program like Medicare, Social Security and a whole host of agencies and departments telling us how to live our lives.
Those dems will be retired on full salaries and benefits for the rest of their lives, but Americans will have been screwed.

Obama supporters are living in the Matrix... they brush against reality but never really sense its permanence. Obama gives them that warm oozy feeling, like a jelly filled cocoon, tranquilized, they're kept from knowing the deep $%^! their in.

I have the feeling we are all living out a Stephen King novel, but insteady of Greg Stillson or Randall Flag we have Obama.

His speech spews bitterness and anger, threats. I can’t believe this is a POTUS.

Obama concluded, "I didn't run for president to turn away from these challenges. I didn't run for president to kick them down the road. I ran for president to confront them, once and for all."
