President Barack Obama told graduates at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., Friday that they—and he—must “constantly strive to remain worthy of the public trust.”

“You will lead this country, and if we want to restore the trust that the American people deserve to have in their institutions, all of us have to do our part, and those of us in leadership—myself included—have to constantly strive to remain worthy of the public trust,” said Obama. …

This man is not scared to continue to bear witness against himself. But as Yoda might say, he will be . . . he will be.

Stop right there ... he may be in leadership, but he is not a leader.

Hussein seems to think that he will become trustworthy by telling others to become trustworthy.

The scum who wrote this speech for the African communist must have been laughing his/her ass off as they typed it up.

...he does this constantly. Every time, as if he is totally unaware. Start putting people in jail and his “innocence” disappears.

This article politely left out the whole sexual abuse issue, perhaps because it is totally impolite to raise such a topic in a commencement speech. Obama is notable for many “firsts”, and surely he is the first commencement speaker to tell the graduates, “Don’t go forth and rape.”

Hopefully not in the Biblical sense. (But he did not get dubbed “Bathhouse Barry“ for naught.)

"if we want to restore the trust that the American people deserve to have in their institutions, all of us have to do our part"

Obama is too dumb to realize this, but in this sentence he is admitting that it is he who has lost the trust of the American people. He has been president for nearly 5 years. During that time the population has lost trust in the president. It was Obama who squandered that trust, and here he even admits it.

Obama is like the little yapping dog chasing a truck. It has no plan for what to do when it finally catches the truck. Well, Obama caught the truck 5 years ago, and still hasn't a clue about how to deal with it.

No he doesn’t.

#1, Holder’s people, and the Partisan Media Shills, and his coreligionists have done and will do anything to maintain him in power

#2, he’s never striven for this, and never will, he couldn’t possibly care less what anyone else thinks

Thanks Olog-hai.
