“I voted for Barack because he was black. ’Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them. That’s American politics, pure and simple. [Obama’s] message didn’t mean [bleep] to me.”
“And to all the folks who are here, don’t let your robots wander off anywhere.”
“You ask me, [Obama] should have put that mother-f*!cker on ice and defrosted his ass Nov. 1.”

“He does have a beautiful voice, and he sings to me all the time. … He doesn’t hesitate to show off his lungs to his wife,” she said. “He sings that song. That’s why I knew when people said he sang, I thought, ‘I’ll bet he sang Al Green.’”
But daughters Malia and Sasha aren’t so impressed. “Anything we do is highly embarrassing,” Obama said. “They just want us to be very quiet.”

When the president asked his top advisers for their final opinion on the mission, all of them were hesitant, except for the former CIA director, now Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Biden said.
“Every single person in that room hedged their bet except Leon Panetta. Leon said go. Everyone else said, 49, 51,” Biden said, as he offered the unsolicited details of the decision-making process.
“He got to me. He said, ‘Joe, what do you think?’ And I said, ‘You know, I didn’t know we had so many economists around the table.’ I said, ‘We owe the man a direct answer. Mr. President, my suggestion is, don’t go. We have to do two more things to see if he’s there,’” Biden recalled.
While the vice president did not explain what those two more things were, the next morning the president gave National Security Adviser Tom Donilon the “go” to launch the SEAL raid of the compound.
“He knew what was at stake, not just the lives of those brave warriors, but literally the presidency,” Biden said.

Obama, Arizona Gov. Brewer Have Tense Exchange in Phoenix
President Obama and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer had a tense exchange over the governor’s book when the president touched down in Phoenix on Wednesday, according to pool reports.
It began when Obama stepped off Air Force One and greeted Brewer, a Republican. Brewer handed Obama an envelope that, the White House said, contained an invitation to meet. During their conversation, according to a pool report, Brewer pointed her finger at the president.
“He was a little disturbed about my book, Scorpions for Breakfast. I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt. So,” Brewer said, according to the report.
The governor said that Obama disagreed with the way the book treated him.
“I said I was sorry he felt that way, but I didn’t get my sentence finished. Anyway, we’re glad he’s here. I’ll regroup,” she said, according to the report.
A White House official said that Obama felt that Brewer had inaccurately described their Oval Office meeting in her book.
