full title......'I have no social life': Obama says he spurns parties so he can eat dinner with daughters and help with homework

As any parent knows, juggling a family and a social life can be hectic at the best of times.

But now even Barack Obama has revealed that he has given up on going out because he wants to be there for his daughters.

The U.S. President said that he passes up social engagements because he wants to be home at 6.30pm to eat dinner with his family.

Poor guy. Can’t go out on the town because he has a family and his presence there is wanted. Gee, life’s tough, you know? Imagine all the kids down in the hood who don’t even know who their father is, much less have him around. But, we’re not supposed to think about that, it’s racist, right?

His wife and daughters had a lovely vacation in Spain a couple of years ago. I believe it cost the taxpayer quite a bundle.

Obama is toxic...sans humongous national vote fraud and intense MSN mendacity the commie is toast...

...the Democ RATS are toeing the mooring lines on SS Obama right now in case they have to scramble to dock before it sails to political perdition.

I wonder what class his daughter was studying for this particular evening?

I disagree that fundraisers are part of his social life - he is performing for money at each of those gatherings and it's probably exhausting. All the golfing is largely fundraising as well, albeit in a format he clearly enjoys much more. If he wins again, Valerie Jarrett will be the de facto President for the next four years because he doesn't like the work, isn't good at it and is burned out after this election season.

He’s preparing his daughters for a change in lifestyle
come November/January. “See, honey, they just weren’t ready
for our message. “

But he does manage to brew beer, golf, go to sporting events and beg for campaign cash all over the country. Sure....he’s a real home body.

Its a Freakin Miracle,I mean two days after Mitt Romney who was this Big Rich Selfish Guy,all of a Sudden,Barack Obama is this Big Homebody! WHAT A CROCK! Golf every time you turn around,fundraisers galore,NEVER a peep about Obma really misses his family and just wants to help the girls with their Homework. Excuse me but this is just tad bit contrived. And oh yeah he did not watch the Republican convention either.

What exactly is the point of this puff piece? That the president doesn’t get to socialize??? What the heck???

Any parent knows that you make lots of sacrificies, including giving up going out a lot, as you may have done when you were single, when you have children. How is the president different than millions of others in this regard?

Couldn't have said it better myself!

God knew it from the moment he started observing the political career of Barack Obama.
And Barack, foolish man, thought only Mohammed was watching.

My Dad's life was work 70 hours a week to support a wife and 4 kids and then come home to be with that wife and those kids.Certainly no time for golf...probably because he never had anything handed to him as has been the case for Osama Obama.

I guess this is his lame attempt to counter Romney’s great personal story. Of course, he’s at fundraisers all the time, and he sends his family on vacations without him, and he’s golfing all the time.

But this was his excuse as to why he didn’t “shmooze” with donors in Washington. We’re supposed to believe donors don’t get anything from him because of this. Except for of course billions of dollars from the “stimulus” package.

The White House is a fairy fest these days. Reggie might be missed, but there are plenty of distractions to keep Obama aroused.

He knows this, his family and friends know this, the country knows this, and surely god knows this.


good summary line for Romney/Ryan to use.

You should send it to them

Given the vacant look on everyone's face my guess is "Bolivian Marching Powder".
