This guy can't hit the side of a barn and even likes to combine Martial arts with his golf game.
 
Here we see his extraordinary athletic abilities as he hip throws a blackberry and taking a stroke or mulligan at the same time:

Oh don’t worry, the next couple of months are going to filled with superlatives and compound sentences that conjure up a superhero image like Dorkman and his trusty aid, linkmissing.

“Maybe this idiot will trip and fall into a volcano.”

LOL! Unfortunately, the volcano that is ERUPTING is on a different Island (Hawaii), so he would have to fly over there to fall into an effective one.

The ones on Oahu are just pretty mountains now.

[MY AMISH FAITH.....”]

I haven’t been around a lot lately and missed the ‘start’ of that quote. I’ve seen it posted a number of times and wonder about the Amish being offended.

How did it start?

The president sprung into action.

Is this where that suspension of disbelief thingy comes in?

I agree with your observation, as I recall yesterday and Friday stories said he was not informed for some time and was deliberately not making a statement, etc. so as to not add credence to the attack or some such thing. I laughed out “Sprung into action” Words escape me to describe my disgust with our sad excuse for media.


Found the FR thread from Friday....the “leader of free world” did not learn about it for 3 hours....

Begs question, did he put out the “do not disturb” sign, or did ineptness reign supreme in his administration—maybe both?!

Meanwhile CBS does everything they can, including giving Levi J face time, to destroy Sarah Palin. Can you imagine if she were president and went to Hawaii AFTER she already had an August vacation, what they would say? “America Rudderless” etc.

On day two, he held another call and then went to the gym before playing a long round of golf with some friends from Hawaii and a close friend from Chicago who is also here vacationing.

'Glad he took some time to make a second call....

Can’t find a direct link to this ...

According to (WaPo) Kornblut’s pool report:

“We did not actually lay eyes on him as the motorcade circled through the military base and dropped him off. We are told that he’ll have a longer excursion today — a workout and then some basketball with ‘friends and staff.’ It is strongly believed that some of his golf buddies from yesterday will play, as will Reggie Love and Ben Finkenbinder.

“Burton has passed along this statement from President Obama on the passing of Percy Sutton: ‘Percy Sutton was a true hero to African Americans in New York City and around the country. We will remember him for his service to the country as a Tuskegee Airman, to New York State as a state assemblyman, to New York City as Manhattan Borough president, and to the community of Harlem in leading the effort to revitalize the world renowned Apollo Theater. His life-long dedication to the fight for civil rights and his career as an entrepreneur and public servant made the rise of countless young African Americans possible. Michelle and I extend our deepest condolences to his family on this sad day.’”

“Obama wrapped up his gym excursion a little after 8:30 a.m. The basketball guest list included: Marty Nesbitt, Eric Whitaker, Denis McDonough, Bill Burton, Reggie Love, Pete Newell, Grant Campbell and Ben Finkenbinder. They played at least a couple of games. No word yet on the score.

Obama’s motorcade left for Kailua at 8:33 a.m. then left the vacation home at 11 a.m., having to slow down on the way back to Marine Corps Base Hawaii “to avoid hitting a dog that was wandering between the cars.”

“Apparently he and the family are going to the beach here on the base. But we won’t see him/them. The beach is not open to the public today — apparently it is usually open to the public on Sundays but has been closed for POTUS (President Of The United States).

“Friends and family are assumed to be in attendance, along with some staff.”

Why is he still on vacation? Shouldn’t he be back in DC figuring out how this happened and getting rid of his DHS secratary?

When we were on Maui, our hotel beach (5 star) was open at all times to all the public. We were told that all Hawaiian beaches were open to all Hawaiians, at all times. Is that only on Maui?

He is the native son and he can’t share a beach with other Hawaiians? I had the strong impression that beach access was a political flashpoint there.
