Some guy who sold weed around the corner from the apartment he resided in according to unsubstantiated lore.

Obama’s senior policy advisor on nutrition and the executive director of Let’s Move!, Sam Kass.

How much does this asshole cost taxpayers each year?

As far as I can tell this man does two things: he gives empty, useless speeches and he golfs

You're not giving him enough credit. He wastes our money and he give aid and weapons to our sworn enemies too.

After four-plus years of presidential lying and deception, Obama has only a very tiny iota of credibility left, which will soon be destroyed — unless, either:

1) Al-Qaeda causes something enormously destructive to ‘’go down’’ in the next few weeks, as the Obama administration is warning us of; OR, 2) the Obama administration PREVENTS Al-Qaeda from carrying out its plans and captures the would-be perpetrators, presenting them for public view and show trials.

It’s hard to believe either of these things will happen. In fact, if this entire dire-threat/embassy-closing situation is not a hoax, the last thing Obama would be doing now is playing golf.

If Obama truly fears that world-wide Al-Qaeda attacks are imminent and knows the CIA is searching for ways to prevent them, he would be closely monitoring the situation from the White House; it would be like the climax of a thriller novel which he wouldn’t be able to tear himself away from.

But he’s on the golf course, and so — it’s 99.5% likely — should everyone else be at least metaphorically.

Other presidents have used the time on the golf course to negotiate legislation and work towards national policy aims . . . golf is great for deal-making . . . past presidents have golfed with leading legislators, ambassadors, business tycoons, etc. Obama golfs with low-level staffers and old college buddies. This says a lot about how focused he is on governing.

God forbid he should stay near the situation room or anything like that.

Actually, I’d just as soon he spent the next three years golfing and never showed up to “work” at all...

He will probably be the first person in history to win the Nobel prize more than once.

Too late - it's been done. Linus Pauling won two "unshared" Nobel prizes, one for Chemistry in 1954 and the Peace Prize in 1962. Marie Curie, John Bardeen and Frederick Sanger also won two Nobel prizes each, but at least one for each was shared with others.
