Ah , back at the White House making plans for the next Golf outing

“Obama uses vacations and golf as a way of detaching himself from the duties and responsibilities that he is unable to manage. The result is poor delayed decisions and absent leadership.”

Was thinking over the weekend: Obama is either having, or has had, a nervous breakdown. The glassy facial expression, emotional flatness, avoidance of decision making, and obsession with the golf diversion are all signs of this.

This would also match up with the cognitive dissonance Rush Limbaugh talked about last week, where Obama is now faced with the reality that his administration is failing, despite his much-ballyhooed brilliance and personal charm.

His world is falling apart, and now it looks like he is, too.

In foreign policy, even uniformed voters sense that “kinder-gentler” is endangering us all.’

That’s not Obama’s foreign policy strategy. His official ‘strategy’ is “don’t do stupid ‘stuff’”.

Ironic, since ‘stupid stuff’ seems to be the sum & substance of his foreign policy actions/decisions. Though of course Obama doesn’t see it that way, & he’s made certain there is no one on his staff who will suggest otherwise.

‘Obama uses vacations and golf as a way of detaching himself from the duties and responsibilities that he is unable to manage.’

He also uses it as a way of getting away from his family.

Actually, Malaria returned with Barry last week. There’s been not one word or photo of Sasha throughout this entire trip. Maybe she divorced the family.

Yes. Very reminiscent of when Jimmy Carter made his “retreat to the mountain” followed by his bizarre “malaise” speech. Many think Carter had a schizoid episode.

He’s been on vacation for the last six years.
