...What weve seen over the last several years is a constant ratcheting up of partisanship that prevents us from moving forward on things that I think most people would say arent Democrat or Republican ideas. Theyre just good, common-sense American ideas, Mr. Obama said at a Democratic party fundraiser in Miami. Energy independence is one of them. Making sure that were investing in the best schools, so that our children can compete in this new global economy; rebuilding our infrastructure, not just our energy infrastructure, but our ports and our roads and our bridges and our air traffic control systems, so that we stay on the cutting edge; making sure were investing in research and development.. We have a whole drawer full of good ideas. And some of them I can do on my own, administratively.
As was the case when Mr. Obama spoke in New Orleans earlier Friday, health-care reform played a minimal role in his remarks.......
Mr. Obama also said that, because hes run his last political campaign, hes looking to build his legacy and leave the U.S. a better place.
And when Im hopefully playing with some grandkids, but not too soon, because [Mr. Obamas daughters] Malia and Sasha are only 15 and 12, I want to know that what I did made the world a better place for them, he said. I want them to know that because of the decisions we made now, were more energy independent and that were improving our environment. I want them to know that not just they and their friends got a great education, but children all across America got a great education..
Thats what motivates me. Thats what gets me up every day.

His legacy? My hope is that by the time his oldest is 21, he will be such a pariah that his kids will opt to change their names.
I would say throw down you punk, but after the last few years if what he has done hasnt got the civil war started, nothing will. As long as people get enough gas to travel, and enough money to play, they wont do a GD thing to stop from becoming slaves to the elite or the scum of the earth.
This SOB knows this and will keep on keepin on.
All who doubt the wisdom of Lewis might watch the video of the President's remarks at a National Prayer Breakfast. There, Obama arrogantly misappropriated Jesus's spiritual challenge to individuals, claiming those words as validating and authorizing abusive use of coercive power by himself and his cronies to "take" from some in order to buy votes and accumulate more power to themselves--all in the name of "helping" the beneficiaries of such unconstitutional "takings."
Hear Samuel Adams:
"Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which ought to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. - Samuel Adams
And:
The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional. - Samuel Adams
Energy independence is one of them. Making sure that were investing in the best schools, so that our children can compete in this new global economy; rebuilding our infrastructure, not just our energy infrastructure, but our ports and our roads and our bridges and our air traffic control systems, so that we stay on the cutting edge; making sure were investing in research and development...”
None of which are within the constraints of the enumerated powers contained in the US Constitution.
Just sayin’
“Theyre just good, common-sense American ideas,
Obama wouldn’t know a good common sense idea if it bit him in the ass. All he knows are old tired communist ideas.
I call it defending the Constitution from a Marxist, Mooslim, Kenyan, Steaming Pant Load.
The dictator in chief needs no constitution or Congress. He can rule by decree and an emasculated nation does - NOTHING.
What you appear to be advocating is not welcome here, CatOwner.
Leave the US a better place????!!!!
You’ve done more damage to this country than ANY of our wartime foes in history!
Choke on your failure, POTUS!
CHOKE ON IT!
Of course it’s not. Most FReepers are no better than the RINOs in Congress. All talk, but spineless when it comes to actual action. A lot of “thank you sir, may I have another one sir”.
Uh huh.
If you like your 401K, you can keep your 401K. Period.
If these are such great ideas, Mr. President, such good non-partisan ideas, then it should be no problem to get strong bipartisan support in Congress for them, right? What am I missing?
Mr. President, we live in a constitutional republic. You are the President. Your powers are limited. Congress has certain powers. If you have such great ideas, which transcend the Republican/Democrat divide, then it should be a straightforward process to gain support in Congress for your ideas. There are limits to what you can do by executive order or through administration policies through agencies such as the EPA.
And when Im hopefully playing with some grandkids, but not too soon, because [Mr. Obamas daughters] Malia and Sasha are only 15 and 12, I want to know that what I did made the world a better place for them,
Hmmmmmmm... OBAMA: Mar 31, 2008
I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby, Obama said
Mitt Romney would be no better.
“Mitt Romney would be no better.”
I dunno, maybe a little bit better.
"Education" = lessons learned the hard way. Excruciating pain is Obama's favorite teacher.
