Half of my letters brand me an idiot - President Obama

* From correspondents in Washington * From: AFP * March 11, 2010 10:24AM

US President Barack Obama has joked that half of the 40,000 letters that pour into the White House each day brand him an "idiot''.

Tongue-in-cheek, the President remarked that his staff did not spare him the wrath of his correspondents - selecting a representative portion of 10 letters for him to read when he returns to the White House residence at night.

"I will tell you, that my staff is very even-handed, because about half of these letters call me an idiot!'' Mr Obama said overnight, chuckling at his own joke during a rally in Saint Louis, Missouri.

I would say Idiot is pretty complimentary.

His usual stupid arrogant response when the elderly are scared to death they are going to lose any healthcare period, he then says it is a federal program totally misconstruing what they meant.

A federally funded program in trillions of dollars in debt! You want to scrap anything in medicare to pay for your deathcare. Then you will say you saved medicare.

..anyone feel free to add

I could use the term "Halfspook", but that'd get me branded...

So...I won't do that.

He's so funny! Remember when Bush used to make jokes about the vile letters he used to get?

Me neither.

Let's see...40,000 letters per day, and his staff pick 10 for him to read, 5 of which call him an idiot...

Most likely, out of 40,000 letters, all but 5 called him an idiot.

I believe he’s mocking Americans with that ‘calling him an idiot’.

Here’s what he is thinking - I pulled the biggest con job on America EVER and they call me an ‘idiot’?
