Don't Mock Me Mr. President

Someone needs to tell Obama that he is no longer a candidate for president. I just watched him give a speech regarding the "stimulus" package. He sounded more like he was running for president instead of actually being president. His revival meeting style of speech included a systematic mocking of those who challenge his package. I happen to be one of those who has valid concerns regarding the wisdom of spending our way out of this financial crisis. I never thought I'd see the day that the President of the United States would sit before television cameras and mock anyone who holds a different view from his own. I think the president needs to remember that he is president of us all; even those who might disagree with him. We have just as much right to voice our opinion and to have our valid concerns considered rather than mocked. His performance tonight disgusted me and I let him know of my disgust in an email. What happened to his unite rather than divide stance that he so often talked about during his campaign? Oh I know, it went the way of the "sunlight before signing" and "new era of transparency and ethics" stances...right out the window.
