...

I tell the people that my most solemn duty is to protect the American people, and that if America shows any uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. It's not going to happen on my watch. (Applause.)

4. Does he think Americans exist of only white rich people?

That's all he's protecting.

7. Excuse me, "rich people" is politically incorrect.

The correct phrasing is "the haves and the have-mores". Thank-you, carry on. :)

5. I lie awake at times worried about who will protect Americans from;

the effects of Peak Oil, climate change, natural disasters and the risks of worldwide epidemics, to name but a few.

Then I drift off to blissful slumber knowing that Iraqi WMDs are no longer a threat to the world and with "just" billions more yet to be spent, Americans might be protected from a ballistic missile strike. :sarcasm:

6. Hmmm...so when does he "report for duty"?

[Qibing Zero]

9. He could say this tomorrow and still have people cheering

So, so pathetic.
