Grassley doesn't seem to think Obama is President of the entire United States  
 
Quote
But as Democrats sharply criticized the deal with PhRMA as a giveaway to the drug industry, Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the senior Republican on the panel, interjected derisively. “You know who cut the deal,” he snapped at Mr. Schumer. Later, Mr. Grassley added: “If this is a bad deal, you ought to be embarrassed for your president. It didn’t come from anybody sitting on this side, this deal.”

Mr. Kerry tried to defend the Obama White House, suggesting that President Obama was not personally involved. But high-level White House officials, including a deputy chief of staff, participated in the negotiations.

1. It's a common linguisitic construct

2. How many "Not My President" signs did we endure for 8 years

3. Maybe Grassley only meant 50 of the 57 states
According to the Bible, "know" means "yes."

Oh I'm jealous.  I want to snap at Mr. Schumer.  Let my German Shepherd do it, too.

59 states actually he said he had visited 57 and had 2 more to go.  :-)
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Have you noticed how in every speech Obama give he uses "I" or "my' or "mine" over and over and over. Yet he never knows of anything that happens under his leadership.  I'm sure this is not the PHARMA deal he has known.

The probing by the media is blinding.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

No wonder Obama gets limo service. If you can somehow lose 9 states, how in the hell can you expect him to keep up with the car keys? Unfortunately S.C. is not one of the "lost" states.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Someone did a count and came up with something like 1200 references to himself, not including his UN speech. One wonders how he can find clothes to fit that massive ego.
