It’s been a long road, but we’re far better off than we were eight years ago.
@BarackObama
We “occupants of the White House” we.

@BarackObama
We “occupants of the White House” we.
The Clintons are a heck of a lot richer as well.
Nailed it, Harvey! In English there’s a definite difference between Inclusive and Exclusive “we”s.
Context supremely matters!
And when has Obama’s context ever been other than exclusive, i.e. “we not you”?
He does the Royal “we” almost as often as he uses his “pen and cell phone” to rule exactly the way the Founders of this country sought to avoid.
Of course, the road wasn’t quite as long for those who spent it in golf carts.
We are better off than we were 8 years ago, we are not going to have Obama for 8 more years.
Obama and Tonto
Were riding down the Navajo Trail
When a band of Indians found em
Proceeded to surround em and
Obama turned kinda pale
Tonto, our lives are in danger
We got to get away if we can
Tonto just looked at Lone Ranger
What you mean, we, half white man
(CHORUS)
Tell me what you mean (We, half white man), Tell me what you mean (we)
Tell me what you mean (We, half white man), Tell me what you mean (we)
You in heap big trouble, But it don`t involve me, half white man
No, it don`t involve me
It do not involve me, half white man, It do not involve me
Obama said, Tonto
Why talk about the shade of my hide
After all we been through
It would make me mighty blue
If you don`t remain by my side
We`ll steal away said the Ranger
Grab an Injun by the hand
Tonto said, turn me loose, stranger
What you mean, we, half white man
(Repeat CHORUS)
Obama cried, Tonto
Stick with me and I`ll double your pay
We can do a switch about
You give me your pony, Scout
And ride Silver, hi-ho away
But hurry up said the masked man
To get away, we`re gonna have to race
Tonto took Silver and laughed
And said what you mean, we, Obama
