MIAMI (Reuters) - President Barack Obama had a message for his political friends and foes on Monday -- "just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough."
Obama was in Miami raising $1.5 million for Democratic congressional candidates for the 2010 elections, in which Democrats are seeking to hold onto their strong majorities in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
After weeks in which he has been angrily criticized by some on the right, to the point of creating a poster image of him with a Hitler mustache, Obama told a fund-raising event that some of his supporters have been expressing concern to him.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Right, and smart guys don’t have to tell people how smart they are.
Heroes never tell people how brave they are.
And as a former employee of mine used to say often, “Those who know don’t say, and those who say don’t know”.

"just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough." No, being skinny doesn't necessarily mean you're not tough. However, being a confirmed wuss does make you not tough obama. As Tallahassee said in Zombieland, nut-up or shut-up.
