'Snowbama' time in Hawaii (Obama shows terrorist how to eat shaved ice)

US President Barack Obama took a respite from the pile of grim news clouding his vacation, taking a group of friends and their kids for a chill Hawaii delicacy -- shave ice.

At a shave-ice store near his vacation rental, Obama on Friday picked one of the concotions, made of ice and fruit syrup and known as the "Snowbama" in his honor -- flavored with lemon-lime, cherry, and passion guava.

"That is the Snowbama," the president said, when reporters questioned his choice of treat, after he ordered the group 19 shave ice cones of various flavors.

Onlookers cheered Obama, who was with daughters Malia and Sasha and friends and their children who have been sharing his vacation in his home state.

Hellooooooooooooooooou!

It’s SHAVE ice. Donchaknow?

:)

[Diogenesis]

“Obama reassured the nation that this "suspect" had been charged. Reassurance? The
president should be saying: We have captured an enemy combatant -- an illegal
combatant under the laws of war: no uniform, direct attack on civilians -- and now to
prevent future attacks, he is being interrogated regarding information he may have about
al-Qaeda in Yemen.
Instead, Abdulmutallab is dispatched to some Detroit-area jail and immediately lawyered
up. At which point -- surprise! -- he stops talking.

This absurdity renders hollow Obama's declaration that "we will not rest until we find all
who were involved." Once we've given Abdulmutallab the right to remain silent, we have
gratuitously forfeited our right to find out from him precisely who else was involved,
namely those who trained, instructed, armed and sent him.

This is all quite mad even in Obama's terms. He sends 30,000 troops to fight terror
overseas, yet if any terrorists come to attack us here, they are magically transformed from
enemy into defendant.

The logic is perverse. If we find Abdulmutallab in an al-Qaeda training camp in Yemen,
where he is merely preparing for a terror attack, we snuff him out with a Predator -- no
judge, no jury, no qualms. But if we catch him in the United States in the very act of mass
murder, he instantly acquires protection not just from execution by drone but even from
interrogation. “

We all have been getting this ‘Snowbama’ since he took office.

[maggief]

"It's the Snowbama. I like my shave ice straight, no frills." Obama

[tobyhill]

LOL.

This article has to be the most ridiculous I have seen in a while.

We have terrorist flying on our planes, CIA agents getting blown up, etc, and the media is fixated on Obama eating shave-ice.

[Condor51]

'Snowbama'.

Come back to Chicago a-hole and you'll see some; snow, bama.
this global warming is killing us, its a balmy -1^oF now

[StandUpChuck]

He has a peculiar way of eating frozen treats.

[paulycy]

The logic is perverse.

The election of Barack 0bama as POTUS has put America in the running for the Darwin Awards.

The real question is whether The 0ne is doing this intentionally or simply through the profound failure of his entire marxist-fairy-tale world view.

US President Barack Obama took a respite from the pile of grim news clouding his vacation,

Gee, was Avatar THAT bad?

Grim news clouding his vacation???? Oh, poor freakin BABY!

[Rome2000]

How many vacations has this stupid muzzie son of a whore had already in the last year?.

That is not to be confused with all of his partying at the White House, when he's not busy naming self admitted communists and tax cheats to administration posts.

You would think the first black POTUS would strive to act a bit less stereotypical, whats next, rocking on the White House porch with a can of grape soda in one hand and a watermelon in the other?

[maggief]

No kidding!

Dude cannot order shave-ice without a script. LOL!

Obama ordered shave ice for the group, going up to the counter with a long list of orders on lined notebook paper folded in half.

[manc]

good grief

with the state of the world and nearly 300 dying the AP decides to run with a story about eating shaved ice and then throws in the words of despite the dreadful news clouding his vacation

good grief just when one thought the media could not have got any worse they come out with this crock of crap

[manc]

that picture grates me everytime I see it.

a muslim woman stopping a nun and searching her.

what is the frigging point, it’s not nuns attacking us but the kind of idiot who is doing security

astounding

[growingpains]

OH HAPPY DAY! I AGREE WE COULDN’T HAVE MANAGED TO LIVE A DAY WITHOUT KNOWING OLD BLUE LIPS HAD SHAVE ICE! THAT DOES EXPLAIN THE REASON HE HAS BLUE LIPS, THOUGH.

[tobyhill]

I saw that picture and just can’t believe that this is what the media is fixated on while terrorist are boarding our planes.

[Daffynition]

[midwyf]

Does anyone know if we, the taxpayers, are having to pick up the tab for the “friends” too? If so for how much?

[growingpains]

By the way, who is paying for his vacation rental?

[RightOnline]

“Onlookers cheered”, did they.......sure; right. OK.

Why?

Oh wait....must have been the press corps, all of whom were wishing they could swap places with his shaved ice treat.....

[paulycy]

Why does the President of the United States allow someone with a camera the opportunity to take such a rather disigusting and embarrassing picture?

[Canedawg]

“Onlookers cheered”

I magine Hitler, Mao and Stalin had their sycophants, too.

[tobyhill]

“Onlookers cheered”

Pathetic writing and if onlookers did cheer then OMG, we have really lost touch of reality.

[bergmeid]

I find him to be gross.

[WVKayaker]

Why is Obama still in Hawaii?

President Obama wants us all to know he’s taking seriously the attempted terrorist attack of Christmas Day and that his administration is doing all it can to ensure our safety. But his words would be a lot more convincing if not delivered during time snatched between rounds of golf, swimming and sunbathing. ...
... By staying in Hawaii, the president has sent the message that the situation really isn’t all that serious, that things can proceed just fine until he’s back. And isn’t it that kind of reasoning that emboldens our never-vacationing enemies into thinking Christmas Day is the perfect time for them to strike?

Looks like a mental case, doesn't he?

[TLEIBY308]

He really is a stupid looking SOB.

[tobyhill]

I have no idea. Obama has been on vacation since his inauguration but on occasion he shows up in Washington to sign $787 billion “stimulus” bills.

[snippy_about_it]

They act like they’ve never heard of snow cones before. Dumb MSM.

Poor zero, had to have his golf game interupted a couple times. Boo frickin hoo. Most of the world gets no vacation.

[Daffynition]

LOL Brain freeze. Have you ever eaten one of those things?

[Doc Savage]

Let me tell you where I would have been and what I would have done:

1. Not been on vacation.

2. At Church to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

3. On a small plane to visit every family who lost a soldier in Afghanistan.

4. Ordering the complete destruction of muslim terrorists in Afghanistan and Yemen.

5. In the White House, in the Oval Office, in suit and tie (I wear bow ties) firing a cretin like Janet Incometano (whom I never would have appointed in the first place.

6. Acting like a President!

[SAMWolf]

His holiday was also jolted by the deaths of seven CIA employees at a forward operating base in Afghanistan.

The nerve of those CIA employess!! How dare they get themselves killed during the One's vacation!!

[maggief]

[snippy_about_it]

I believe they did cheer. Someone posted a video on youtube about obama looking for terrorists on the golf course. Sure enough there are ‘fans’ following him and cheering. These are the same people who follow hollywood stars around I imagine. People without a clue.

[tobyhill]

I'm sure he'll sign an executive order forcing GITMO guards to serve shave-ice to the terrorist.

[pnh102]

Man... if Bush did this...

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Shave ice? Looks like a sno-cone to me.

[Daveinyork]

He could have shaved it off my sidewalk Thursday morning.

[Brugmansian]

You would think the first black POTUS would strive to act a bit less stereotypical . . .

Other day I was talking to one of those loading dock Democrats who probably didn't vote for Clinton (at least didn't vote for him twice). I said Obama reminded me of somebody with nothing who hit the lottery and went on a spending spree. "No...no..." it's not that, he said, "You know what it is? I'll tell you what it is (and he said two words I haven't heard in 3 decades)!"

[hal ogen]

nobama and his “crew” of odd sycophants and hangers-ons aren't news. They are disgusting.

[tobyhill]

It’s ground up ice with some artificial flavoring on it that probably cost $3 bucks a piece, courtesy of the taxpayers.

[maggief]

Sno-cones are for peasants, silly.

;)

[ladyvet]

His hopes for a rest have been disrupted by the attempt by a suspected Nigerian extremist to bring down a US airliner bound for Detroit last week.....His holiday was also jolted by the deaths of seven CIA employees at a forward operating base in Afghanistan.

May I suggest you quit you f'ing pussy! That way the slobbering up your @ss media can quit covering for your immature behavior and MAYBE do their job.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Hey Obama. Try the YELLOW.

We hear it tasts the BEST.

[paulycy]

[tobyhill]

That is funny.

[Brugmansian]

[tobyhill]

The unfortunate part of that picture is, he looks like he fits right in.
