The leader of the free world?

Excerpts from the Decider in Chief's recent speech in [w:Tipp City, Ohio]:

• "Politics comes and goes, but your principles don't. And everybody wants to be loved -- not everybody. ... You never heard anybody say, 'I want to be despised; I'm running for office."'
• "There are jobs Americans aren't doing. ... If you've got a chicken factory, a chicken-plucking factory, or whatever you call them, you know what I'm talking about."
• "There are some similarities, of course" between Iraq and Vietnam. "Death is terrible."
• "I've been in politics long enough to know that polls just go poof at times."

Really gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling to know he's got his finger on the trigger of the US nu-cu-ler arsenal.
