Obama's last three summer sojourns to this Massachusetts island have coincided with tumult primarily in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as elsewhere around the world.

Life is hard...but by Jan 2017 all the “stress” will be over.

His biggest challenge then will be deciding which gravy job offer to take.

The Obama administration is a series of vacations punctuated by occasional crises and failures.

When he paused between the sixth and seven holes and pondered the problem and how he can benefit society by talking on his Blackberry between the eighth and ninth hole.

“Life is hard...but by Jan 2017 all the “stress” will be over.

Obama’s next “job” will be perfectly suited to his ability. He will give speeches for huge sums of money, to adoring crowds. To many Americans he will be a living legend, and they will worship him accordingly.

No stress, no accountability, no scrutiny. Simply give speeches, and bask in the adoration.

Another example of life not being fair.

Do you mean a job where he would be paid for performing productive, meaningful work, or just another sucker that is willing to pay him for showing up?

I see his two best offers as...

MSNBC commentator (loves to hear himself talk)

Grand Caliph of ISIS (they did steal a half billion $$ from Irag)

Between a day at the beach and a fundraiser? :o/

VINEYARD HAVEN -- (8/10/14) Presidential party preparations seemed to be in full swing at the entrance to the home of Robert Brown, president of the Berklee College of Music, and his wife Linda Mason in a wooded area of Vineyard Haven on August 10, 2014. The couple is expected to host President Barack Obama at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) on August 11, 2014. According to a DSCC official, tickets to the event range from $15,000 to $32,400.

Bill Clinton made the ultimate sacrifice as a parent.
He had to give one extra speech to pay for Chelsea’s college education....

In the brave new world which revolves around messiah Obama how can something like this happen? I just can't believe it. The MSM must be making it up./s

he may get paid for doing little to nothing but he will encounter more protesters without the Secret Service enforcing a wall of silence around him.

There are domestic crises too...health care premiums soaring, gas prices too high, food prices skyrocket, but just like foreign policy, Obama doesn't give a damn.

"Life is hard...but by Jan 2017 all the “stress” will be over."

Meanwhile, ours will just be beginning. We may survive the Obammunist -- if he actually leaves office in 2017, that is -- but we won't survive the generations that put him in power. Not unless we figure out how to deprogram them.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

The country and the world are near crisis. I think Obama’s way of handling this will be to start smoking again during his golf outings on the Vineyard.
