Eric is, of course Eric Cantor Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives. Protocol demands he be addressed as Mr. Majority Leader or Congressman. In a fit of pique, our rude, crude and obviously arrogant President retreated to his street habits and retorted in the most disrespectful manner to one of our top elected officials. Obama may just as well have said, “Hey you.”

Mr. Obama has lost all sense of reason, candor and manners. He is making demands of the Congress and attempting to bypass the procedures in place for lawmaking. Mr. Obama and his administration have failed to present a reasonable budget to be considered by the Legislative bodies of this country. He has resorted to bullying tactics in an effort to force Congress to agree to and pass legislation to his liking. Thus far, he has been rebuffed in his crude attempts.

Few other chief executives have exhibited the manners of a dictator in their efforts to thwart Congress. Only two come immediately to mind, Andrew Jackson, our seventh President and the First Democrat and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our 32nd President and at times rude and crude. He once ordered the Majority Leader of the Senate to get a piece of legislation through that chamber.

It is readily apparent to even the most casual observer that Mr. Obama is losing or has lost his former “cool” demeanor. Apparently, he has read the handwriting on the wall and realizes he is losing his battle to bankrupt America. Let us hope he does not burn down the Reichstag as Hitler did or caused to be done on February 27, 1933, the pivotal event in the Establishment of Nazi Germany.

Mr. Obama is talking the talk, He is NOT walking the walk. His wants and likely his needs run counter to that of Mr. and Mrs. America. It is he who must change his attitude and demeanor. He is not representative of us but of some alien lifestyle.
