Truth of the matter, you are quoting from the President as he has responded to the onslaught of nastiness from the right that started long before he ever said any of the stuff you have quoted him.

So it's okay as he was just responding? That's the whole point of this thread, I think. We all need to watch what we say, especially those in positions of power. We as a nation are very violent and hateful in our rhetoric, and we reap the consequences. I think however that President Obama has shown remarkable restraint. I cannot imagine how hard it must be for him to sometimes guard his tongue. And I can say the same for our former President Bush.
But of course we have freedom of speech, and we don't want to lose that right.
