[Faryn Balyncd]

"Your job is to hold my feet to the fire. . . So, you need to be out there everyday raising these issues, telling us when we’re doing the right or wrong thing. . . My role is to be President of the United States. . . "

“The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.”

Senator Barack Obama, 12-20-2007

"The reason that you have this principle is not to be soft on terrorism. It's because that's who we are. That's what we're protecting. . . Don't mock the Constitution. Don't make fun of it. Don't suggest that it's not American to abide by what the founding fathers set up. It's worked pretty well for over 200 years."

We have a job to do.

Our President NEEDS us to do our job.

2. I'm quite sure he didn't mean to insult him with

stupid while they were doing it. "drooling for war" "Starting a war instead of a JOBs program".. those kind of stupid accusations weaken any fire.

But, whatever... the President can handle.

3. "Your job is to hold my feet to the fire. . ."

I wish some people here would stop interpreting that phrase as meaning "your job is to disagree with everything I say and do, and burn me at the stake on a regular basis".
