With his job approval rating at a low ebb and his policy agenda stymied in Congress, President Barack Obama is trying again to show a common touch and convince more Americans that he is still fighting for their interests.

The latest move in Obama's empathy campaign will come Thursday when he plans to meet with a mother identified by White House officials as "Rebekah" of Minneapolis. She wrote to the president to explain her day-to-day economic problems; he read the letter and decided to reach out to everyday people like her around the country.

I think he is only coming here because he wants to golf in all 57 states before his term as dictator expires.

Me, too.

This is just another excuse for Obama to take a vacation. It’s obvious that he and the Mrs. hate the White House and that they intend to milk the taxpayers for all the goodies they can get in the time they have left.

It’s surprising, and very heart-warming, that ‘the president who cares’ can find the time to talk to ‘the common folk’ when he’s so busy stealing everyone’s money and f*cking up our nation’s foreign policy - not to mention encouraging the Moslems to murder humanity and destroy the planet.

Obviously, the guy’s all heart.

The saps will eat it up.

0bama’s “focus” is like the focus of the sun on an ant through a magnifying glass.
