Obama: 'I'm Skinny...But Tough'

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 7:30 AM

President Barack Obama has lashed back at critics who fear he lacks the steel to be a successful president, saying "I'm skinny ... but I'm tough."

Obama, who is trying to navigate a climate of sharp political partisanship, said he was spoiling for a fight to enact his ambitious agenda.

"There are people saying mean things about me and folks are worried," Obama said on Monday, as he headlined a pair of Florida Democratic Party fundraisers that racked up a total of 1.5 million dollars.

"Just 'cause I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough. I don't rattle," Obama said, tongue in cheek.

"I'm not going to shrink back, because now is the time for us to continue to push and follow through on those things that we know have to be done but haven't been done for decades."

Obama reeled off a list of what he billed as the early achievements of his administration, including rescuing the economy from a possible depression.

He also said he was "confident" that he would be able to force a landmark healthcare reform bill through Congress by the end of the year.

A number of commentators have in recent weeks started to question Obama's fortitude, worrying that his cool demeanor masks a lacking killer instinct.

The ‘news’ yesterday about too much testosterone in the Obama WH cracked me up. He's is such a feminized metrosexual the ‘news’ groups have to tell you he's a male!

I guess it really IS all about him.

(But he keeps on saying it isn’t.)

Dare we say, “you LIE!?”

Yeah, but I think Michelle is calling the shots, and the word skinny does not come to mind.

IMHO, Obama is Michelle's “Uncle Tom”. He could have claimed he was white, but that subject NEVER comes up in any of his speeches calling for “unity”.

Has anyone got any pictures of O and M reading books to or hula hooping with the majority of kids being anything other than African Americans? I believe this is why the Obama administration is setting this Country back a century when it comes to racism.

JMHO

Stunning gravitas.

Oh he’s got killer instinct alright...he’s all for killing unborn and recently born little girls and boys..simply because they are poor, or uneducated or unwanted by someone or society...he’s all about killing the elderly who happen to get sick instead of paying for their care to live just a few more years...he’s all over killing those who just might suffer or who have been convinced they are a burden to society or family...he’s does everything possible to ensure he spreads his death culture stance throughout the world with taxpayer dollars.

Yeah, he’s got killer instinct alright.

Like any authority figure, he should not have to explain himself. His presence alone should demand respect. Some people have it.

Some don't.

Obama’s actions, not his words, do his speaking. He’s blind to that, or perhaps blinded by his self-image.

A better question would be, when is he AT the White House. I think certain ghosts of presidents past haunt him and he has to stay away.

He’s skinny because he smokes too many cigarettes. Do as I say not as I do.

I’ve checked my thesaurus - “tough” is not a synonym for “incompetent”.

Maybe somebody should tell him.

Obama is a moral and physical coward. Remember when he required that all ceremonial swords be left out of a recent military academy graduation? What a pussy.

Only 12% were fooled.
The Baraqqi coalition comprises 40% that is rock solid.

Minorities
Illegals
Welfare recipients
Union members
Dead voters
Idiot liberals

That’s why we have to make sure 2012 is a 2-way race and not a 3-way race.

If you only knew, jackass!

I guess 'tough' means waging war against Fox News and cuddling up to dictators in your world, moron. I think people are finally getting a clue about you and when the rose they thought they bought starts to stink it's not going to be pretty!
