Bears, beer and horse heads: What exactly is going on with the leader of the free world?

On a single day this week in Denver, President Obama scarfed down pizza and drinks with strangers, shot pool with Colorado’s governor and shook hands with a guy on the street wearing a horse mask. His top staffers are promoting these stops on Twitter with the hashtag #TheBearIsLoose — a term one of Obama’s aides coined in 2008 when the candidate would defy his schedule.

More than five years into his presidency, Obama is trying to free himself from the constraints of office, whether by strolling on the Mall or hopscotching the country as part of a campaign-style tour. White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer says the president “just wants to get out” and influence “our overall political conversation” by connecting with ordinary Americans.

But to some, breaking free can also look like running away....

haha, that made me laugh. But I’ll stick with Tom Cruise, a lightweight who constantly pretends to be ferocious and important.

Obama has his game of blame. He is nothing but a girless man who listens to Valarie Jaret and his wife. He wants to play golf and act like a big shot with too much of an ego.
The guy was probably never properly corrected. He doesn’t have the skills to lead. His skill is to divide us and upset us with his actions. He is the President who is not balanced or together who can give a speech. The media has built Bama to the monster he has become. The media is also an out of control monster.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, curious.

The Queer-In_Charge, using the term ‘bear’?

I suggest you look up that connection, yourself.

I am most convinced, that T.Q.I.C., is not referring to the Soviet ‘bear’, which Putin does represent.

Could be. I think it was only in the later years Nixon would sneak out at 2 a.m. for a drive and a bit of a walk in D.C. Of course that’s the way it SHOULD be done, not spending millions of dollars for a photo op to be seen “as one of the people.”

Obama never wanted the job of the presidnet, he just wanted the power and trappings.

Yup. On a week end. Any Chicago week end.
