It is our house<\/a>. \u00a0I know, I know. Some right-wing wacko. \u00a0Obsessing about little things. \u00a0But only idiots believe that little things don\u2019t matter. \u00a0Little things, more often than not, give us a look at the workings of the bigger things. \u00a0Most who criticize this sort of criticism will, in other cases, be the first to point out some slight or some small gaffe as proof of greater evil behind the curtains. \u00a0So in that time honored, and justifiable, tradition of carefully listening to words because they may actually mean something, I just thought I\u2019d remind President Obama that it\u2019s not his house. \u00a0It\u2019s ours. \u00a0And we don\u2019t serve him. \u00a0He serves us. \u00a0Not that it will matter in years to come. \u00a0After all, a growing segment of our society couldn\u2019t possibly understand the big deal. But it\u2019s worth mentioning while it still holds true.<\/p>\nFWIW, I\u2019m sure other presidents in history have also said that. \u00a0But again, consider the track record, the ideology, and the source. \u00a0If Pope Francis were to say someone should have their butts kicked, we\u2019d take it as a figure of speech. \u00a0If a football coach says the same thing, we\u2019d understand it differently. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
