In the Washington Monthly they have a "Special" which has a group of answers to the title question. I was inspired to give you this:
"You know I completely fooled the Democratic base that got me elected. But I do want to thank them for the hard work they did. That's what you get when you choose the lesser of two evils: still evil.
Just so you don't bother me again, or get upset when I behave like a corporatist, I AM a corporatist. Get over it.
Republicans, I don't cave to you, I am you: caring about the wealthy and corporations; working for the military industrial complex, the medico-industrial complex; the corporate-whatever complex. Thanks for your assistance for getting me into office by making me look sane and caring by comparison to McCain & Palin.
As to where I was born ... why do you care? Remember when I said I was going to be the president of all Americans? That was BS. Despite my mixed race and the color of my skin, I am the president of rich Americans: black, white, red, yellow. The only color that matters is long green.
In God we trust. All others pay cash.
Thank you and goodnight.
