While listening to these words, I recall that after five years during which you have never listened to Republicans and haven’t done your job as the president of the entire nation, instead of as the president of the Democrats only, while many times you have been mocking, ridiculing, insulting and despising the Republicans, I couldn’t help but think, how could you be so impolite as the president of the United States? You wanted to be viewed by the Europeans as an intelligent and cultivated man, especially after having accepted from them the Nobel Prize.

If I were in the place of the Republicans, I would reciprocate with the same attitudes as they have come to experience from you. Even you were a professor of Law, in my view, your way of dealing with people, even if you show a nice attitude with the Democrats, shows a lack of education and consideration for you own citizens - the Republicans and the T-party people. 

As President you know very well that in order to attain something, you have to carefully prepare the ground for negotiations, just as you are doing it for foreign relations.   No, as an American who loves the country and who has known the country during WWII, having known a lot of its soldiers, I have a hard time understanding how you could be so rude and smile ironically. While the Republicans or the T-party people are citizen under your power, you treat them not as your people who know that you are their president, but as I mentioned, you treat them like your enemies. Don’t be astonished if they cannot see you as their own president. Mr. President, it is a question of culture.

Now you want them to listen to you and forget all the days that you were unfriendly with them. Instead of unifying the country you are dividing it. I am asking one question of you, ”Are you the president of all Americans or the President of the Democrats only?”
