He should probably fire whoever wrote this for his TelePrompTer.
"We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us."
No, he did not call you and me his enemy. He said he thinks latino voters should consider non left-wingers the enemy. See? It's not the same as calling you the enemy at all. This, from the guy who ran as a racial and political uniter. He said we were no longer to be red States and blue States. No more black or white or latino Americans . . . well, I suppose that may have meant, we won't be divided after all our enemies have been "punished."
President George H.W. Bush eulogized President Reagan in part by saying: "He led from conviction, but never made an adversary into an enemy. He was never mean-spirited." President Bush, of course, is too classy to walk up to President Obama and say "You, sir, are no Ronald Reagan."

Well, at least Obama is gracious enough to repeatedly say he isn't the King of America. That he has apparently thought of being King enough to mention it publicly is both disturbing and not surprising.
