Barack: "I have never heard him yell," "Ever. Not once in seventeen years."

Valerie Jarrett, Senior Obama Adviser, as reported in Vogue:

I read a lot here about how Barack must be so careful not to come over as an angry black man. To me it's reassuring to know that what you see is what you get. Barack is a man of extraordinary temprament - cool, calm and collected, as well as having a big heart, deep compassion and rare idealism.

Color me impressed. Again!

1. He did corner lieberman in congress once . That was funny.

[Mira]

2. it was funny - and I think we have not heard much from Lieberman since :)

[jwirr]

10. You've heard about the man without a country, well Lieberman is the

man without a party. You have not heard anything about him since Sarah came on the scene.

[dgibby]

17. He was shunned in the Senate after the RNC convention!

[jwirr]

19. That is great - I suspect the rw will have not use for him when this is

over either. He'll be called Lonesome Joe.

[Mabus]

24. That would be: "Lieberman, Party of One"

:rofl:

It sounds just as good as the first time I heard it on Franken's radio show.

[Jim Sagle]

30. It'll be a catch phrase at the finest DC restaurants, too.

;)

[Mabus]

25. dupe deleted

:shrug: Why does the internet reset when I use it?

[my3boyz]

3. I'm sure his voice was as calm as could be. LOL nt

[denem]

5. I loved that - yeah!

Cold anger can be lethal ;)

[gblady]

7. yes he did....

[undeterred]

9. That picture looks like he is preparing to expectorate.

Which is what I would need to do if I ever came face to face with Joe Lieberman.

[Cha]

13. lieberman looks like a

little bad gremlin.

Obama looks like he's got this.

[Cha]

12. Yeah, but he didn't yell..just told him firmly

to shut his lies the fuck up.

[Blondiegrrl]

20. ...

I don't know who captioned this image, but it cracks me up every time.

[Usrename]

23. ROFLMAO

:rofl:

[CoffeeCat]

27. LOL

I'm sitting here laughing so hard. Damn, that is funny. Sometimes, a line or two
just hits it right down the middle with the truth.

Thanks for that. Love it.

Still....LOL. :rofl:

[Whisp]

29. bwahahahahahah! what did Obama really say?

somewhere along the line I missed this gem.

[Blondiegrrl]

32. I wish I knew. I'm not even sure if this was an actual image

or if someone Photoshopped them standing together. Regardless, the look on their faces is priceless.

[terrya]

4. And that's reassuring.

A President must have a even, calm temprament. Which John McCain does not, obviously, have.

[blondeatlast]

6. GREAT article. I posted it earlier and it sunk like a rock, but lots of behind the scenes

GREAT stuff.

I get the print edition of Vogue; I read that terrific article yesterday when my copy came!

[gblady]

8. it was a great article....

I read the whole thing on your thread...
loved it...
thanks for getting it out there.

11. My daughter was the event planner for the NAACP two-week convention this year.

McCain spoke one day, Obama the next. One of her duties was coordinating crowd control, etc. for the event.

She spent time with Obama and said, "Mommy, Obama is hella "SMOOTH."

[Cha]

14. Your daughter has Obama's

number!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

15. He walks softly and carries a big brain. nt

[Whisp]

28. heehee. good one!

[Madam Mossfern]

16. "Revenge

is a dish best served cold."

I have got plenty of dirty looks when I repeat this, but it is very very true.

[Blondiegrrl]

18. His temperament is one of the things I admire most about him.

... along with his intelligence, knowledge and good judgment.

[vanderBeth]

21. Obama is one cool...

:smoke:

[Pirate Smile]

22. It looks like David Shuster and MSNBC is on in the background of the pic. I recognize Stephanie

Cutter and Valerie but not anyone else.

[MadMaddie]

26. I have been saying, Look who he is surrounding himself with

versus McCain.

This woman sounds amazing and she is in the right time at the right moment.

[Lord Helmet]

31. he should keep mentioning temperment

[OakCliffDem]
