OBAMA - 'YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT VALUES?'


I keep on hearing these same folks talk about values all the time. You want to talk about values? Hard work has a value. Looking out for one another has a value. The idea that we're all in this together, and I am my brother's and my sister's keeper, that's a value.
President Obama's press secretary, Jay Carney, said Obama was not campaigning. All right, then.

  1. Oh, no, he's not campaigning. Nothing like it. How could anyone think it?

    Man, it makes me want an election every year, just to hear him talk this way.

  3. Obama is very good at not campaigning. The cadences of his speaking style serve him well. Let's hope that his not-campaigning mode will keep the howling wolves at bay come November.

  5. By golly, Obama can preach. I wish he'd used the bully pulpit more in the last three years.

    I am absolutely, I mean seriously, gobsmacked at the sheer audacity.

    Surprise! The piece is from Bloomberg.

  9. I thought it had to be a joke. I just knew it must be, like the cats acting out the BP-spill-executive-reaction thingy.

    It wasn't. The world has failed. Let's move on.
