Obama: Some people wonder why I’m so ‘even-keeled’
The Washington Examiner ^ | October 9, 2012

Posted on 10/09/2012 4:50:46 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

“I’m not going to spend a long time making a speech,” President Obama explained last night during a fundraiser in San Francisco last night, signalling that he would answer questions instead. “Most of you have been great friends for many years. Many of you supported me when I was running for the United States Senate, much less running for President. And so I think you know who I am and you know what I care about.”

Instead, Obama began reminiscing about growing up in Hawaii, after he was introduced by a childhood friend, Pam Hamamoto.

“It’s true that actually the environment that we grew up in, I think for both of us, still provides us a certain ballast,” he said. “Sometimes people wonder why it is that I seem pretty even-keeled. And I’d like to think that part of it is that’s how I’m hardwired, but part of it is when you spent your formative years in Hawaii, you think to yourself, it can’t be that bad.”

Obama added,”And if it is, then you go to Sandy Beach and you bodysurf and you feel fine afterwards. It washes away all worries.”

Obama is the ultimate in "enough about you, let's talk about me" The national mood has now switched to talking about Romney and the Obama supporters have to deal with the shift in public attention to what Romney is saying. The real Obama has to suffer being shown up for the self centered anti American he actually is.

This is a collection of Liberal Fascists who are bent on ramming their socialist Utopia down the throats of a free people.

The gavel in hand is the ram that Pelosi used to pass Obama Care before it was even read by the majority of Democraps who voted it in.

Yes they are fascisti. Worthy of ridicule and destruction.

I guess when I was running through my 401k trying to make ends meet while my husband was looking for a job, I should have just gone body surfing instead. What a— hole!

People have wondered why I’m so “even-keeled”.
I explain it’s two things:
- I’ve studied self defense; having considered how to deal with people trying to kill me, few other things seem dramatic
- I’ve been dead; having had my chest pried open with a car jack and having had my heart stopped & cut open, most other concerns pale in comparison.
