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.

> Clearly his next move should be a run in the UFC. Tough guy, eh?
I would pay good money to watch that.
You’ve got to be tough when you are stupid. (Enlightenment from my late father.)
“...What is this guy doing in the White House?...”
52% of the brain dead voting public was duped into putting this bØzØ in the Øval Øffice. The rest of us knew better but couldn’t stop it from happening.
Obama’s actions, not his words, do his speaking. He’s blind to that, or perhaps blinded by his self-image.
RIIGGHHHTTT... this guy is so full of it... and himself...
skinny...tough = snake...dead
“saying “I’m skinny ... but I’m tough.””
Yeah Bambi, you and that limp wristed floater you threw out at that White Sox game. You’re the biggest wee weed weenie I’ve ever seen in the WH next to your mentor Jimmah.
More like THIN SKINny. Thats normal for narcissists though.
it’s all about~~~~ me me me meeeeeeeee
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.
“There are people saying mean things about me . . . “
Awww, buncha meanies! Boo hoo.
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.
For God sakes, don’t defy the First Comrade, or he’ll hit you with his purse!
“Man, man, man, man, manly man, man, man . . .”
You know what else is skinny and tough?
Jerky.
And just like Obama, you are always disappointed how little there is.
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.
