Fake President


Barack Hussein Obama is a grifter, nothing more. And in a sense it's unfair to blame him. Grifting is what he does, and he's simply trying to live up to his potential, so to speak.

Give him credit, he's been pretty successful at it.

It would also be wrong to assume that he went to play golf out of laziness or even indifference. For all of the silly Affirmative Action pretense that he is an "intellectual," Obama isn't exactly stupid.  He knows that even with a month left to go, he has ceased to matter. No one cares what he thinks, anymore. No one cares what he does.

Why not play golf?

An adult is about to take the helm. I'm not saying Donald Trump is special. Rather, almost the reverse. It won't be a change so much as it will be a re-establishment of the norm. Republican or Democrat, Jeffersonian, Federalist or Whig - real presidents wear long pants.

Obama Heads to Golf Course After Receiving Reports on Berlin Attack and Russian Ambassador Death 
by Justin Baragona | 4:05 pm, December 19th, 2016 
Well, this is what one would call bad political optics. 
With the dual breaking news events surrounding potential terrorism and a foreign diplomat being shot to death, White House pool reports showed that President Barack Obama headed to a country club in Hawaii near his rental house, where he is vacationing. 
The first email shows that Obama has directed his staff to keep him updated on the situation in Turkey regarding the assassination of the Russian Ambassador. 
From the White House, per Principal Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz: 
This morning the President was briefed by his National Security Team on the assassination of the Russian Ambassador to Turkey in Ankara today. The President directed his team to provide updates as warranted. 
Meanwhile, at 10:10 a.m. in Kailua, the press van prepares to depart the rental house where we’ve been holding. 
In a following email, we are informed that Obama is leaving the rental home to go play golf. 
The President and his motorcade departed the Kailua neighborhood where the First Family rents a vacation home at 10:21 a.m. Spectators on the street threw shakas and recorded photos or video on cell phones as the motorcade made the 10-minute drive to Mid-Pacific Country Club, where the President will be golfing under cloudy skies.

The times listed are local Hawaii time. Obama’s motorcade left his vacation home at 3:21 PM ET. 
Currently, the news is dominated by both the assassination in Turkey, which could have large-scale implications on foreign policy and relations, and multiple deaths in Berlin via a truck driving through a market in an incident reminiscent of the Nice terror attack. 
Needless to say, there will be a lot of negative attention given to Obama playing golf in the immediate aftermath of these horrific, and potentially history-altering, events.

  1. The question remains. What was it about us that found Obama so appealing? What is wrong with us? My idea is that it has something to do with our losing faith in God and the weakness in American values aided and abetted by Vatican II.

    1. I remember the time before he was elected well, because I knew how bad he was going to be, although he exceeded my worst fears by far, but I believe most people were busy proving how open-minded they were...voting for a black president meant once and for all they removed themselves from the constant "bigot" category...they proved it...voting for him. Besides, he "had a nice smile".
      Then he divided us right down the middle, where we remain, made Communism cool again, used racist and violent rhetoric, Black Panther stuff, to cause racial attacks, only not white on black but black on white..yes...he's been a darling.
      Thank God this poser is almost out, and Jan. 21st is going to be a day to make a toast.

  3. Speak for yourself Mr Dowd. He gave me the heebie-jeebies from the get go. Did you not understand that as an Illinois congressman in 2001 and 2002 he voted against the infant "born alive" bills that would have afforded care to the living infants of unsuccessful abortions. He was the sole vote against. Were you one of those many Catholics who swooned over him anyway? He always produced a visceral response in me--his whole demeanour is repellent. Grifter, second rate intellect, narcissist, purported bisexual, habitual lier, opportunist whore--that's Barack Obama.

    1. I agree 100% with your assessment of Obama. Unfortunately, 50% of so called Catholics like him. Personally, I find Obama loathsome and can't watch him on TV.

    2. I can't watch him either Michael. Knew he was dangerous from the very get go, even before he ran for the Presidency. When he became the Illinois Senator, I began watching him. It wasn't too long after 9/11, and I thought: 'Who in this country can seriously vote for a man with the name 'Barack Hussein Obama'??!! Of course it went downhill from there. When he ran for the Presidency and more than 50% of 'Catholics' voted for him when we then KNEW of his love for aborting babies, the realization hit me that there was a certain kind of insanity that had set in both in the country, AND ESPECIALLY in the Catholic Church in America. How could you not know then that the Church in this country had gone rogue?

  4. Obama has struck me as a gym teacher before, so this outfit is appropriate. He just needs a whistle.

    lol, that tag.

  5. The election of Oban was the worst ever example of collective virtual signaling.

    Good whites proved they were not racist by voting for the Kenyan Mahometan while the bad whites proved their racism by voting for Mittens.

  6. Years ago, during his first election, I had an odd conversation with a friend of mine. I asked if she and her husband were voting for Obama. Her husband, a school superintendent, belonged to an loose organization of successful black men. She said, "No. We don't like him. He's a house n-----."

    Seeing my shock at hearing a really nice middle aged woman of color say such a thing, she explained about her husband, his organization, and the history and behavior of field slaves and house slaves.

    She was right. Her husband was right. Obama did everything they said he would.

  7. Apologies to Kathleen and Gracie Lou: I thought I had "cleared" all the comments but I missed the most recent ones. Usually I try to publish comments within a few hours. Apologies again.
