printThey barely reported it, and were mum about the implications: President OBama hit the golf course on Memorial Day. The parrot press pretended it was the thing to do, filibustering with white noise like: “It was not immediately clear who joined the president for the round of golf.”
Every time Bush retreated to cut brush on his Crawford ranch (much to my relief), the same moron menagerie denounced him for dereliction of duty. Denunciations of the disrespect the POTUS showed “our warriors” and a word or two about the “dignity of the office” would have been in place were the media in the habit of speaking truth to the Obama powerhouse.
Did you notice how Barry and Bride routinely get decked-up and fly out for a night on the Town — usually a different town than the one they live in — after their posse shuts it down? Next is a big, shiny Jacuzzi tub on the White House lawn. Mark my words.
Update I (June 1): The Mail Online on THE PRICE OF KEEPING THE POTUS OUT OF MISCHIEF FOR AN EVENING:
“The romantic jaunt is estimated to have cost the taxpayer more than £45,000 in transport and security costs – because the date was in New York.
The President used three planes, one to carry the couple and two to ferry aides and reporters all the way from Washington.
The cost of each flight was thought to be nearly £15,000.
The bill was pushed even higher with the use of two helicopters, one to take the Obamas to catch their plane in Washington and another to zip the party into Manhattan from JFK airport.
Police also shut down New York streets for the motorcade to pass through so they could get to their date on time.”
Update II: Trivial, I know, but scroll down for a glimpse of Michell Obama’s wings—a photo of her ripped back. Freaky.
I remember reading that Calvin Coolidge used to take naps at the White House. Upon awakening he would facetiously ask “Is the country still there?” Too bad that any damage he might have avoided causing was more than made up by the Federal Reserve during the 1920’s.
I would be in favor of raising Comrade O’s salary on the condition that he plays golf all the time, every day, everywhere in the country with his entire cabinet, no phones, no radios, and no blackberries — just golf all the time. It would be worth every penny to us to have them do nothing. That’s Constitutional, isn’t it?
“Next is a big, shiny Jacuzzi tub on the White House lawn. Mark my words.”
I was thinking one of those extra large above-ground pools like the one you see at the end of Bad Boys 2.
I’m sure his Kenyan relatives would wonder what the fuss is about. Isn’t he the “Biggest of the Big men” now, after all ?
I agree with Stephen Hayes. I have argued that a “Medal of Freedom” should be given to Monica Lewinsky for the service she rendered her country (she got me out of biweekly indoctrination sessions on Sex Harassment, for example). Keep these idiot politicians happy but far far away from the levers of spending and war. (Did they need to use government planes to schlep the media with him to New York, however?)
