"I don't sit around talking to experts because this is a college seminar. We talk to these folks because they potentially have the best answers, so I know whose ass to kick."
Obama talking tough.
Reminds me of George Bush's "dead or alive" cowboy style.
The main difference between Obama's statement and Bush's is...
Bush actually intended to do what he said. Literally.
Obama's line is not true self-expression, but what others seemed to push him to say.
It's one thing to allude to the cowboy tradition, quite another to sound like a schoolyard bully.
Obama is trying to counterbalance his professorial image, but Bush was pretty much all cowboy.
