Golfer-in-Chief Skips Hole to Avoid Cameras
Hot Air ^ | August 22, 2011 | Howard Portnoy

President Obama’s ten days on Martha’s Vineyard aren’t really a vacation, Press Secretary Jay Carney said last week, because “the presidency follows him” wherever he goes. If you need proof, just look at the accompanying photo. It shows the president being briefed on matters of great import. One might describe him as looking “intense.”

OK, only the most gullible sap is going to be taken in by staged images of Obama looking presidential. Perhaps mindful of that grim reality, his entourage is keeping a lower profile this summer than in previous years. Jake Tapper of ABC News wrote the day before the president’s arrival on the island:

There are fewer welcoming signs on houses. A few flags are flying at homes, and the hotel housing the press corps is covered with red, white and blue bunting. But other than that, and several Secret Service agents strolling the streets, there aren’t a lot of signs that the commander in chief is heading here for a week and a half.

With his swing he better have a dozen balls in the bag or he will be begging for more.

I love those holes with long carry using a 4 iron, but then I have a better swing then that duffer.

He probably looked at it and the cameras and had to go change his diaper.

Literally, very literally, your post had me laffing out loud.

I mean....what the hey?

Can you imagine a Laura Bush wearing such a thing? Much less Jackie Kennedy if you want to stick to Democrats.

Somebody somewhere dresses this woman and sits and smirks as she thinks she’s oh so fashionab le.

It’s beyond ugly.

One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense

These are part of Obama's "Shovel Ready Jobs" stimulus program. They would fall into the "Jobs Created", not the "Jobs Saved" category.

What will really be interesting is if she dismisses the WH chefs the way she dispatched the governor’s chef in AK.

Then let’s see, AF1 might go up for sale on ebay.

And...

That skirt IS a third world country!

POTUS and FLOTUS sporting big smiles as they vacation at Martha’s Vineyard on our dime. It’s good to be the king and queen.....November 2012 can’t come soon enough!

The time difference between #6 and #7 is probably only about 5 seconds. They are such phoney people. All smiles and then miserable old jerks... they turn it off and on.
