Lets Get Real:
The dinner was for the elite folks, POTUS was honest about one thing, the press have not kept him humble, they will not get the point, EVERY US President has to have his feet kept close to reality, they tend to lose the real bit in the bubble of the Oval. The speech had FUN moments, the stress being on the moments, the self pity done come out, aka Richard Nixon, its all the fault of the Republicans, stressing that he is a minority, being lousy at the controlling of Congress is not about skin colour, even Democrats on the Hill are not afraid of Obama, e.g the failure of gun control, the problem is that Assad of Syria is not afraid of Obama, e.g the use of chemical weapons even after the Oval stated it would be a red line, the Tehran Regime will see the failure to react over Syria as a green light to go nuclear, Israel will be worried that the Obama word is NO GOOD, thus if Iran goes nuclear the Oval will not strike. Lets see how North Korea reacts, will it think that Obama is weak and try some military action with South Korea. The elite may laugh folks, but the rest of the World will pay for a charismatic Jimmy Carter. Obama even managed to blame Bush 43 again, it was not funny, that is how blogger reviewed the Obama performance, would he even be okay without a tele prompter.
