If I were President Obama I would say. . .

Fellow Americans;

When I ran for the presidency I promised to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, regulate Wall Street and banking, clean up the real estate industry, the credit card companies and the Insurance companies. I also promised health care reform and fair Immigration policies. Those were my priorities.

The framers of the Constitution, in order to protect our citizens, divided the powers into Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches. They envisioned all these groups working together. They did not foresee the enormous power that big business would attain, and the money its lobbyists would spread around to buy your representatives votes.

There are representatives who keep blocking our road of success because they would like to see me fail. There are representatives who pledge their allegiance to the campaign contributions of big business. There are others who vote for their constituency to the detriment of the country. They refuse to realize we are one nation and as president I am sworn to serve you all.

Fortunately, in our democracy you can make the changes I am fighting for happen. If you believe in these changes you have the final vote. You can tell your representatives to support the policies you elected me to enact or you can vote them out of office.

Thank you.

(I am sure he would say it better - if he took off the kid gloves and spoke up for himself.)
