| A reminder to President Obama before his Wednesday speech, from Harry Truman: |

"The President of the United States represents 154,000,000 people. (Now 305,000,000) Most of them have no lobby and no special representation. The President must represent all the people."

That's almost EXACTLY what Ms. Depa thinks- that he wants/needs everyone to love him.
