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

Weekly Standard ^

[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."

Professional hoaxer Alan Abel once tried to convince people that the earth’s rotation was being affected by all of the movement and surface travel that humans were engaged in.

Made about as much sense as the hysteria of man-made global climate change (causing earthquakes and meteor showers, no less).

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

Reminds me of a PSA from the 1990s where a corporate guy is saying (circularly), "I need to do some cocaine, so I can work harder, so I can make more money, so I can do more cocaine, so I can work harder, so I can..."

In the background played a child singing "I'm... always chasing... rain...bows..."

Thanks President Obola for summing up your review this year. Don’t expect a raise.

All the morons who made this megalomaniac President a 2nd time ought to be put down.

[definitelynotaliberal]

I need to believe this.

[Organic Panic]

I have no idea what he’s trying to say. He read this off a teleprompter and has no idea what it means. It means nothing. I despise this man. This little man is a disgraceful evil soul.

Temptations - Ball Of Confusion

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

People moving out, people moving in
Why? Because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can’t hide
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and I’ll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody’s interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation

Ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey

The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The cities a flame in the summer time
And oh, the beat goes on

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything
And the band played on

So, round and around and around we go
Where the world’s headed, said nobody knows
Oh, great Googamooga
Can’t you hear me talking to you?

Just a ball of confusion
Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey

Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record’s a gas
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on

Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills, people all over the world are shouting
‘End the war’ and the band played on

Great Googamooga
Can’t you hear me talking to you?

It’s a ball of confusion
That’s what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya

Sayin’ ball of confusion
That’s what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
Sayin’ ball of confusion
