Boy Asks Obama “Why Do People Hate You?”

obama-4 copy

President Barack Obama made his first visit as president to the hurricane-ravished region of New Orleans on Thursday, where he committed to helping citizens continue to rebuild, more than four years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city.
Obama also hosted a Town Hall Meeting
at the University of New Orleans — and it was Tyren Scott, a 4th-grader from Paulina, Louisiana, who stole the show with the final question of the night.

“Why do people hate you? And why, aren’t they supposed to love you, if God is love?” Tyren asked.

“First of all, I did get elected president
, so not everybody hates me; I got a whole lot of votes,” the President joked, patting Tyren on the shoulder as the audience clapped. “A lot of it is what’s called politics, where once one party wins, the other party feels like they’ve got to poke you a little bit to keep you on your toes. So you shouldn’t take it too seriously.”

So you shouldn’t take it too seriously.”

He went on: “But people are worried about their own lives. A lot of people are losing their jobs right now. They’re losing their health care or they lost their homes to foreclosure and they’re feeling frustrated, and when you’re president of the United States, you’ve got to deal with all of it. You get some of the credit when things are going good, but when things are going bad, you get some of the blame.”

Obama added, “But that’s all right, I’m a pretty tough guy. Are you a tough guy? You look pretty tough. So you’ve just got to keep going on going, even when folks are criticizing you, when you know you’re doing it for other people.”

Obama gets our vote, Beverly Hills Pimps and Hos Loves you baby!

  5. I think he said it perfectly. We’re in a rough time, and Bush left him with a lot of garbage to deal with as well, so people are going to criticize him for it. Whether any politician is really looking out for our best interests can always be up for debate, but his point about making sure to keep on working as hard as you can when you know you’re doing it for the sake and well-being of other people I think says a lot about the guys character.
