I'm hearing excuses. Repugs like him talking that way. It's a 'positive' for them. The base is orgasmic today.

Why are so many GOPhers coming out with such lame criticism of this despicable pResident's DESPICABLE remarks?? If Obama had said something so nasty, you could bet your lottery winnings they'd be howling like a pack of wolves in heat.
