Exasperated lib columnist admonishes Obama
American Thinker ^ | August 13,2011 | Thomas Lifson

I confess that I'm having great fun watching the liberals waking up to the fact that the image of President Obama they bought into was a fantasy, and underneath is an arrogant, cold, and incompetent executive, with no experience at all in running anything.

This morning brings Colbert King, the liberal Washington Post columnist, who take his first step down the path to a reality-based perception of The One. King displays a certain annoyance with Barack Obama, explaining to the president why it is so stupid for him to be going on vacation:

King goes on to list many other facilities and luxuries available to the president and his family. What's fascinating here is the indirect allusion to the parties, the hobnobbing with stars and athletes, the exuberant exploitation of their supreme position in the American status hierarchy. The Obamas take such pleasure in using to the utmost, all of the privileges and facilities made available to live large. The sheer number of parties they throw is astounding, though almost unmentioned in the liberal media, so far.

This is not the way a president should be spending his time. Not when, for the first time in U.S. history, the country's credit rating has been downgraded; when so many families are barely scraping by, many not knowing where the next mortgage or rent payment is coming from.

It is by now obvious to King and many others, that President Obama spends an awful lot of time in leisure activities and just isn't very good at running things. He is implying that things are going to hell because Obama is lazy, not spending enough time at it.

None of this is explicitly mentioned, of course. But the foreknowledge is out there for both King and his readers.

Yes, the libtard is now perceiving things. Not processing, not analyzing yet, but the brain needs time to adjust to non-blindness.

Things are going to hell, because George Soros is running the presidency. Obama is playing while George runs the show and makes money by manipulating our stock market. Obama doesn’t have to work - he is ‘kept’.

I wonder why?

Probably due to the fact that staffing is primarily provided by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps and his "not so hidden" disdain of all things military.

I wonder why? Too outdoorsy for him. Maybe too many bugs for the little ones and the moose and her mother.

No, more like if Moochelle goes off for a walk in the woods, we'll have to endure another decade of kooks on late night radio describing Bigfoot sightings.
