Obama: Some people wonder why I’m so ‘even-keeled’

“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.”

HOUSTON: Victims of Hurricane Katrina stay at the Astrodome stadium, where 16,000 evacuees received food and shelter, in Houston, on Sept. 4, 2005.

".....2007 in Virginia: Senator Barack Obama, presidential stars in his eyes, speaking to a largely black audience of religious leaders and inciting racial animus........

....ten days before Obama gave that speech, Congress had waived the Stafford Act requirement for Katrina. He was well aware of that fact,too. After all, [Obama] was one of only 14 senators to vote against the waiver. It was part of a bill to fund the war effort in Iraq. That is,to pander to his Bush-deranged, anti-war base, Obama decided that squeezing New O’leans was a price worth paying. Then,he lied about what happened in order to foment racial resentment—an atmosphere that he calculated would help his presidential bid.

Just as he’s doing today."

“The reason I appear so even-keeled is that I don’t give a crap about any of you.”

I’m hoping for a nice, even keel-hauling of this punk’s career and legacy.

When he’s all done in the WH, the only job he should be able to get is planting flowers and hand-raking the sand traps and at Bushwood.

He is so even keeled that he completely by-passes congress at every turn and rams throuh his agenda without any Republican support what so ever. That’s how even keeled he his.

[nevergore]

Obama lied, our Ambassador died!

[mylife]

Spot on.

The man is a charlatan and a wolf in sheep’s clothes.

[mylife]

More even keeled loving demoncraps....

[Marathoner]

You mean he actually did something that honorable in his life? I'm shocked.

The Pritzker family have been big donors to the U of Chicago hospitals (e.g. the Pritzker School of Medicine), which might explain why Michelle Obama landed the job she had there.

people wonder why it is that I seem pretty even-keeled.

A Christian would give honor to Christ. A non-Christian gives honor to self. Guess who Obama honored for his self described even-keeled attribute?

[mylife]

LOL!!!!

[generally]

True.

But his other “skill” besides reading from the teleprompter is fabricating his past. Use it or lose it, I guess. He needed to brush up on that skill in case he becomes unemployed in January.

[generally]

I’d prefer keel-hauled.

[generally]

Nah. He scammed his employer by giving out freebies.

Even then he had to buy his “friends.”

[crosshairs]

Even keeled my keister! He’s a vindictive, petty, dangerous little narcissist who cannot handle criticism. And his feet stink too.

[generally]

Excellent point.

I’ve always attributed his “cool” to a combination of drugs and simply not caring about anything. In other words, the man is a drug-taking, narcissistic sociopath.
