Mitt Romney can't do that
The President explains what he does:
"So I
feel that I've been President for all Americans - the stupid Cambridge
Police, the members of my security detail who wouldn't think twice about
shooting a black guy, doctors who perform unnecessary amputations out
of greed; bankers and pitchfork-wielding mobs; Hispanics and their
enemies, who I encouraged them to attack; the people who were entitled
to money when GM went bankrupt, and the people who got money when GM
went bankrupt; filmmakers critical of Islam who give me lots of money,
and filmmakers critical of Islam who are invited to come downtown for
routine questioning."
"It's on behalf of all of those people that I have worked as hard as I
can. That's what you've seen the past few years. Me, working as hard as
I can. Barring only occasional moments of rest - a couple of rounds of
golf each month, watching less than half of the college basketball that
ESPN and ESPN2 televises, a bit of daily exercise, and the odd date
night flight to New York or Chicago or Los Angeles or Paris or Rio or
Casablanca or Majorca or Fiji or Maui or only a couple of dozen other
places - I'm at work every waking moment."
"I don't think most Americans realize how much is involved in this
job, probably because I make it look so easy, but I have to give a lot
of speeches in front of a lot of admirers, and I feel like I owe it to
them to make it the greatest experience of their lives. It's not just
speeches, either. There are a lot of dinners where I have to listen to
other speeches, and campaign material to film, interviews to sit
through, donation reports to review, photo shoots of me working to
arrange, state dinners to host, just many different things. Tonight
alone, Dave, I'm not just here talking to you, I have to go have dinner
next to Beyonce later. Again."
"And then there's the foreign affairs component - of course my
opponents are new to diplomacy - but it's a very important component of
my job to meet with foreign leaders, smooth over damage that has been
done to our relationship due to missteps by previous administrations,
and explain to them what I have noticed about how they can fix various
problems in their countries."
"The truth is, I don't think Mitt Romney is capable of doing what
I've done over the past three and a half years, and frankly I think deep
down he knows it."
