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."

Let's see, first he was going to lower the oceans, and then he was going to "heal" the environment.

Now he controls the Earth's rotation? What a guy! /s

We’d have almost certainly done better choosing a president by a lottery, a contest or the millionth customer at a Dollar General.

Everyone senses that this government that tries to control everything is spinning out of control, and they are right. Obama is a fool.

If we walked into a Taco Bell, grabbed the kid working the drive-thru, and made him president of the United States, we’d be in better shape today. At least we would have a president that actually worked at least a day in his life.

He wants us all to admit that we were wrong about him being a slack-@$$, @$$hole and just proclaim him as god of all the earth.

“Obama: ‘There’s A Sense ... The World Is Spinning So Fast and Nobody Is Able To Control It’”

That sounds like the statement of someone that is in WAAAAYYYY over his head, and is feeling overwhelmed.
