Obama in Martha’s Vineyard golf trifecta
Associated Press, 08.24.11, 04:43 PM EDT

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. — President Barack Obama has once again hit the golf trifecta as he vacations on Martha’s Vineyard.

He arrived at Mink Meadows Golf Club on Tuesday [sic] afternoon for his fourth outing since arriving on the island Thursday evening. Mink Meadows is a nine-hole semi-private club on Martha’s Vineyard’s north shore. Obama has now played all three island courses - just as he did during family vacations in his first two years as president.

How could he spend the “entire day sequestered” if he emerged “this afternoon”?

He spent one morning off the golf course. It probably nearly killed him.

Golf, visiting adult friends, supposedly working...what exactly is he doing with his kids? I feel sorry for them.

Translation: After sleeping until almost noon, the President had brunch while being given an update on world and national events that other people have handled for him and then dragged himself off to play golf.

And on his way out the door, he popped in on the TOTUS administrator and asked, “How’s my MAJOR speech on unemployment and the economy coming along?”

The children of a Malignant Narcissist exist only to enhance his image. They are not individuals in his eyes, but extensions of himself whose only role/identity is to reflect positively on him.

I was just about to post that. No one believes this clown was sitting in meetings this morning getting things done. He was sleeping off a hangover or just being lazy watching TV.

Just imagine the drive Obama could get - 400 yards or better! - when he tees off with Hurricane Irene at his back!

Whoo-Weee!!!

For some reason this photo made me think of the movie "Flowers For Algernon"...

You nailed it sans one important detail. ‘After sleeping off his *hangover* until almost noon’, etc. Otherwise, spot on.
