Great words of wisdom by President Obama - NJMaverick - 04-04-2012 03:08 PM

"It doesn’t make us weaker when we guarantee basic security for the elderly or the sick or those who are actively looking for work. What makes us weaker is when fewer and fewer people can afford to buy the goods and services our businesses sell, or when entrepreneurs don’t have the financial security to take a chance and start a new business. What drags down our entire economy is when there’s an ever-widening chasm between the ultra-rich and everybody else."

-- Barack Obama, April 03, 2012

Not since JFK have we had such an inspirational President who speaks of such great ideals and words of wisdom. I predict President Obama will be quoted for decades and decades to come.

I'm right there with you, Mav! Contrast that with "I like being able to fire people/I'm not concerned about the poor/Let Detroit go bankrupt/Let foreclosures bottom out/Paul Ryan's budget is a marvelous budet"-Romney. No thanks!

This is MY guy!

Or compare it to the last resident:

"I'm the decider he he he"

or

"you're either with us or against us"

or

"fool me once shame on you fool me twice... we don't get fooled again"

I agree, President Obama has the knack for making sense when he speaks. He goes to the heart of the matter and he understands what is happening.
