Its time to drone this into the American mind. This should be our mantra. He "Works for us" he is not our leader. He is not the leader of the free world. He is our EMPLOYEE!!!

2. I agree
To bad he is locked into a 4 year contract - but we should remind him of his status everyday - almost half of Americans wanted to fire him.

5. Try telling freepers that-
I just had one tell me I "severely misunderstood the office of the POTUS", if I thought he was accountable to us. That Bush does not have to explain anything to us- his decisions are to be upheld and respected regardless of what we think.

Fucking idiots.

8. That's because the Chimp says the exact same thing.
The Chimp said that's "the interesting thing about being the pRes." in that he felt he didn't have to explain anything to anyone, that others had to explain to him their actions and reasons for doing such. I swear bu$h** MEANT it when he said things would be easier if we were a dictatorship so long as he were the DICKtator. Stupid FReepers are just repeating what their Chimp Leader has said. Bet they didn't hold that belief when Clinton was President.

11. I say that so much I sound like a broken record
Tell any freeper that makes such an astonishingly stupid statement what Teddy Roosevelt said To say there must be no criticism of a president that we must support him right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile but morally treasonable to the American public. Thats from memory not a direct quote but its close. Then tell him to stop being morally treasonable to the American public.

13. Wrong. He's NEVER "our commander in chief" ...
... he's the "commander in chief" of the Armed Forces, NOT the people of this nation.

"Section 2.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; ...
"
