Obama made an appearance at the National Prayer Breakfast — which was hosted by Gohmert — and he spoke warmly of a man who's floated the idea of impeaching him. Gohmert has earned a reputation for castigating Obama with talking points pulled straight from the right-wing fever swamps, but evidently the criticism only comes when the President isn't looking.

"I, by the way, have always found Louie to be unbelievably gracious every time I've see him," Obama said at the breakfast.

"Now, I don't watch TV," he added, drawing laughter from the audience.

Gohmert has accused Obama of, among other things, discriminating against Christians in the military, stirring up "racial tension and violence" and (by virtue of the White House's alleged support of the Muslim Brotherhood) destroying America.

1. I am from the same town as Gohmert Pyle

Tyler Tx in smith county tx THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTY IN THIS NATION, gohmert began his career with the smith county DA Jack Skeen. He was appointed a county judge seat by george bush when he was gov. of tx. The county judge who held the seat had died and gohmert weasled his way in there. Needless to say when the election rolled around he was not elected to that seat. Smith county tx is the ultimate CORRUPT GOOD OLE BOY NETWORK county. Research it and start with the Kerry max cook case and Andrew Lee Mitchel case and go from there. I personally share none of gohmerts views...he is a snake from the most corrupt county in the U S.

5. I love the fact that President Obama has a sense of humor

I am so glad that this man is our president

7. I don't want to "laugh with" asshole Gohmert. Why? Because he's an asshole, like Huckabee.

Why do "we" think it necessary to degrade our values with those who have none? He should be banned and shunned. Ignored, at best. That PBO thinks is "so cute" to pat him on the back and have a "good ol' boy photo op" is a disservice to those of us who have values...and they don't include enabling bigots.

Someone who talks major, insulting smack about me or my family or my loved ones does not deserve my respect...I don't care who I am or who they are.

10. I bet Louie pissed his pants he was so happy Obama knows his name

11. I love how Obama damns him with praise.

Gohmert is so out of his league.

[JDPriestly]

12. Obama is just so cool. He shows respect for every person.

I sense that he views no person as above or below him. That is his strength. Calm humility. All men are created equal. That is the key.
