The President of leisure has a pretty slow day Monday, highlighting the point that no pressing business kept him from celebrating the fall of communism 20 years after the Berlin Wall fell. Jim Gerraghty of The Campaign Spot on National Review goes over the official schedule for our leader yesterday:

Just look at the man's schedule: He had a 10 a.m. daily briefing from the intelligence community, a 10:30 a.m. economic daily briefing, an 11 a.m. meeting with senior advisers . . . and then, right after that, at 6:45 in the evening, he had to sign an executive order about hiring veterans, and at 7 p.m. he had a meeting with Israeli prime minister Netanyahu (with preconditions).

Apparently the President spent a good part of the day sitting around the Rose Garden.

He’s not going because he did not think the defeat of communism was a good thing.......since he happens to be one!

[Jimmy Valentine]

Every single day, my absolute dislike for our President grows.

Lest anyone forget, it was not Gorbachov, it was Dutch,Gipper, The Big Boss Man,a/k/a Ronald Wilson Reagan, who along with Baroness Thatcher, Pope John Paul

They brought down the wall and liberated over 400 million people from the ravages of communism.

Obama is a classless punk.

It will be his ultimate undoing.

I couldn’t have said it better.

[jazusamo]

Dead on the money!

Only a classless punk like Obama would thumb his nose at that celebration. He knows full well that the wall came down because of real leaders, leaders like he will never be.

[jazusamo]

Bump!

Well, it is rather odd that Obama seemed to have enough time to fly over the pond and play the role of “Billy Mays” to get Chicago as the next venue for the Summer Olympics...isn't it?

[LiberConservative]

0bama could push for ThugLand to get the Olympics but he couldn't take time to celebrate one of the greatest moments in the 20th century? Seems like every day this chump does something inexcusable.

Seems like every day this chump does something inexcusable.

Yep, you'd think he'd run out of things to outdo himself but he just keeps making himself a bigger fool.

[vpintheak]

A lazy bastard if I have ever seen one. And I have seen a lot with my Army infantry experience. This guy is a lazy sack of turds and brings such huge amounts of disgrace to the office he holds, and especially America.

Every single day, my absolute dislike for our President grows.

You’re not the only one. I see people coming out of the woodwork opposing Obama now, people I never would have believed had negative opinions of the man.

I suspect that 2010 is going to be a good year < ear to ear grin >

[JoeMac]

And yesterday in Berlin the Europeans thank Gorbachev, the jailer who let them out instead of Ronald Reagan, the man who set them free.

Why would a Communist want to celebrate the fall of Communism ????????

Duuuuh.
