Anyone else notice that today during his speech?

who was drunk and crashed and abandoned his ship killing people in the process. That's really low by even Republican standards IMHO.

disheartening, after three years on the most difficult job imaginable, to be compared to a negligent drunken fool or a pre-civil rights racial-stereotype entertainer.

PITTSBURGHCiting three years of exhausting partisan politics, constant gridlock in Congress, and an overall feeling that the entire nation has "completely lost it," President Barack Obama openly asked a campaign-rally crowd Tuesday why he'd want to serve another term as president of "this godforsaken country."
SNIP
I'm dead serious," the president continued, saying that any reasonable person would have walked away the moment the Senate minority leader announced his main priorityabove creating jobs and improving American health carewas to make Obama a one-term president. "I'm asking if anybody out there can come up with even one reason why I'd want to endure this unmitigated shit show for another minute, let alone through 2016. What's in it for me, exactly? Can anyone answer that? Anyone at all?"
After a long silence during which crowd members mostly just shuffled their feet and stared at the ground, Obama said, "Yeah, that's what I thought."
