Obama: 'There’s A Sense ... The World Is Spinning So Fast and Nobody Is Able To Control It'
Weekly Standard ^

Posted on 10/07/2014 7:02:50 PM PDT by bryan999

At a DNC fundraiser today, President Barack Obama voiced a concern many Americans might now have. "There’s a sense possibly that the world is spinning so fast and nobody is able to control it," Obama told Democrats at the White Street Restaurant in New York, New York.

But Obama suggested that he has things under control.

"I was here in New York just a couple weeks ago -- you noticed the traffic was even worse then -- during the United Nations General Assembly annual gathering of world leaders. And it's appropriate to talk a little bit on the front end about why this particular General Assembly was so indicative of America’s position in the world. There are times where I think in this country we doubt ourselves, and there are times when we're uncertain of all the changes that are taking place all across the globe. And understandably, when you see the headlines every single day and you read about ISIS and Ebola and the Russian incursions into Ukraine, there’s a sense possibly that the world is spinning so fast and nobody is able to control it."

And wouldn't believe he was the smartest guy in the room -- while being an idiot. Probably also wouldn't surround himself with ne'er do wells, fools, and sycophants. He might have actually looked for competent and experienced advisers...

But it is all hypothetical. We elected someone who had never run a business, never worked for a constructive purpose (being a community agitator is not constructive), and who had done nothing positive all his life. Hope and change... pffft...

Edited for clarity:

“There are times when I doubt myself, and there are times when I’m uncertain of all the changes that are taking place all across the globe. And when I see the headlines every single day and I read about ISIS and Ebola and the Russian incursions into Ukraine, there’s a sense possibly that the world is spinning so fast and I can’t control it, although I believed I could.”

This is why progressive megalomaniacs are so dangerous. 0bama is convinced that not only does he understand the inevitable path of history, but that he's just the guy to keep it on track, and if it looks like the disaster it probably is we just aren't smart enough to look beyond that. You can't debate with these guys, they're never wrong, all you can do is take away the power they've been foolishly given and hope like hell it isn't too late to recover.

I am not of the opinion popular among others here at FR that this is all one big, Machiavellian plan (that isn't fair to old Nick but that's another conversation), rather I think it obvious that here is a drowning incompetent grasping at the straws that the mess he's made is really all for the best. I do not think history will be particularly kind to Mr. 0bama, because it won't be written by the gaggle of throne-sniffing media sycophants with whom he has surrounded himself, but by people who will be paying the price for his inflated ego and his ideology of self-delusion. They won't be happy. We're not happy now.

Why do you feel the spins after using cocaine?

It's because when u hit it, it gets in your brain cells and cut off connection between your cerebellum and medulla oblongata that's why u feel like the world is spinning in your head.

Those f-in asshats at the UN spent more time on climate change rather than seriously addressing what to do about ISIS - what does that tell ya?

GOP now has the Poster Boy and Caption Quote of the decade. Let’s see if they have enough sense to use it. Don’t tell John McCain or Boehner.

Not your job to control the world, Baracky.

You’re supposed to be a leader, a policy maker who can steer things in a direction that’s advantageous to the citizens of America.

Thinking you can control everything is a sign of a small, sick mind.

Obumbles should be wearing one of those old fashioned propeller beanies. Watch his propeller spin round and round in a lopsided manner. Oops! The blade fell off again.

Its only spinning out of control because he gave it a good spin.

He didn’t have to pull the last 10,000 men from Iraq. He didn’t have to arm ISIS in the first place. He didn’t have to install Muslim Brotherhood into power in Egypt, thus forcing their military to remove them from power.

He didn’t have to run guns to the Mexican cartel. He didn’t have to invite 100,000 Honduran kids to swarm across the border.

Nothing is ever going to be perfect but things are usually better when you have adults of good character in positions of leadership. As opposed to, say, muslim communists.
