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.

Keep rahming socialized medicine down our throats and you’ll be up to 85% in no time. (Sorry it’s not 100 but we need to take into account his hard core base of layabouts and hopelessly deluded flower children)

What an idiot. ;)

Statistically speaking, that hand-picked sample means nothing. I could just as easily say that the staff had to scour through all 40,000 letters just to find 5 that didn't call him an idiot.

Amazing.

How in the world is his staff able to find any letters NOT calling him an idiot?

“The other half call him a communist.”

Obama counts this as a positive letter.

"Note the three self-centered references. I, my, me."

There are actually four self-centered references in that sentence. I, my, me and idiot.

I don’t think he’s joking, actually...I’d be surprised if any less than 75% call him an idiot, in fact...

The names were funny, especially “Staliqua”.
Now I’m trying to think of a “qua” name that would go with
Chavez, or Castro.

I’m partial to Afriqua myself. I’m sure her friends call her “freak” for short...
