Narcissist Obama in L.A.: 'You ain't seen nothing yet'
Obama in L.A.: 'You ain't seen nothing yet'
LOS ANGELES
Even as he conceded there is still much hard work to do, President Obama was in a boastful mood Wednesday night, telling a star-studded crowd at a fundraising dinner that he "would put these first four months up against any prior administration since FDR."
"I'm confident in the future, but I'm not yet content," Obama said.
The celebrity dinner, which cost couples $30,400 to attend, was followed by a larger, lower-dollar concert that all told raised between $3 million and $4 million for the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Joining the celebrities feting Obama were Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Republican-turned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), "the newest member of our caucus."
The trip here came on the heels of a fundraising jaunt to Las Vegas to raise about $2 million for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), according to aides.
The president, while seeking to bolster his record as president so far, warned both audiences that significant challenges lie ahead.
At the concert, headlined by Jennifer Hudson and Earth, Wind and Fire, Obama responded to an audience member yelling, "Yes we can" by saying, "Yes we have. But we've got more work to do. We can't rest on our laurels.
"We didn't ask for the challenges that we face, but we don't shrink from them either," he said. "It won't be easy. There will be setbacks. It will take time."
The president conceded that his administration "had our fits and starts."
"I've made some mistakes, and I guarantee you I'll make some more," he said.
But Obama said in promising to continue to work hard, "Los Angeles, you ain't seen nothing yet."
Obama also lauded Judge Sonia Sotomayor, his pick to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter, repeating his line that she has more experience than anyone currently sitting on the bench when they were nominated.
He joked at the second fundraiser that she graduated summa cum laude, "not just magna or laude laude, but summa cum laude."

Wild Thing's comment...........
“You ain’t seen nothing yet”. Sounds just like an organizer in Chicago. Gold teeth, hang downs flashing gang signs.
Obama will never be my president!!!! I have zero respect for him and he will always be a community organizer scam artist in my eyes.And that isn't even the half of it or how I feel about him.
I swear he makes my skin crawl!

Guarantee he's going to make more mistakes? Why would you even admit that?
And that there will be setbacks?
Like there aren't already enough setbacks?
He's bringing America to her knees so he can build her back up in his own image and that is just plain awful. Why don't they see this?
I know, time to bring ol' whitey to his knees and make him the slave.

Yeah, he is really loving himself. He rattles off his socialist agenda and the sheep applaud. I don't know what the future of America is, but I know the next 3 years and 8 months will be rough for the concept of individualism and freedom as Obama's government intrudes into every aspect of our lives.

This is what I can't understand about his supporters. They show up and pay good money to see this putz he gives them another glass of cool-ade they drink it and he moves on. Jim Jones all over again. Except the Marketing and Packaging is a lot slicker.
They can't all be brain dead, can they ?
