Planning Only Golf Trips, Vacations & Campaign Speeches
Townhall.com ^ | September 1, 2014 | Hank Adler

They're rioting in Paris, they're starving in Iraq. There's hurricanes in Florida; ISIS is on the attack. The President is vacationing, he has not a clue. ISIS hates the Christians, Hamas hates the Jew. Turks hate the Kurds, Putin hates the Ukraine. And Obama is on yet another political campaign!

But we can be tranquil, and thankful, and proud, For mans' been endowed with a mushroom-shaped cloud. And we know for certain that some lovely day

Someone will set the spark off, and we will all be blown away.

They're rioting in Paris, there are nuclear weapons in Iran. And the President plays golf each and every chance he can.

With apologies to the Kingston Trio.

The news last week that we have no plan with respect to ISIS should come as no surprise. We have no plan to protect our borders; we are a country without plans and without leadership. The President claims that he can do his job when he is vacationing or campaigning, but the results show that this claim does not rise to a half-truth. The only person he seems to be able to communicate with one on one is the guy in his mirror. Threatening to end run Congress on energy, climate and immigration is not the role of a President of the United States. It is not how government in a Republic is supposed to work.

Harry Reid has such a strangle hold on the U.S. Senate that Senators running for re-election have literally never had so much as an amendment to a bill passed in their Senate careers. But Harry, he is worried about the name of the Washington Redskins and that "my Indians" in Nevada have been bought and paid for by the owner of the Washington Redskins. This author is unsure about the name Washington Redskins, but he is pretty sure that referring to "my Indians" is about as racist a comment as one could make.

Make no mistake, when Great Britain has their threat level from ISIS at its second highest level and our President is golfing, vacationing or campaigning 24/7, we should be afraid, very afraid.

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Terror is on every side, though the leaders are dismayed
Those who put their faith in fire, in fire their faith shall be repaid
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

Turn around, go back down, back the way you came
Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of god is raised
On Babylon that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame
It shall cause thy tower to fall and make it be a pyre of flame
Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again

—Hamilton Camp

America elected a disruptive troll and he is loving every second of various debacles (Especially after the second election) occurring around him.
The mainstream media outlets who covered for this troll starting with the troll's Senate bid and continuing on with the last two Pres. elections along with the useful idiots are to blame for this infliction.

As with everything, the bigger fools are the ones that follow a well documented fool, in this case a troll.

One would like to think such is true.

However, there are these incessant fundraisers to consider. The man can evidently stand before a group of wealthy liberals and separate them from millions.

Being wealthy often (though not always) suggests a higher level of intelligence and perception than is present in the average person. Yet, most average persons now see through the Obozo while "wealthy liberals" do not.

Even a segment of the black population has lost faith in the man -- yet the "wealthy liberals" are seemingly shouting "Encore!"

Something is out of whack...

Just two more years of fundamentally changing America from within takes up too much time for him to get bogged down in international situations.

He is punting while putting. Kick the can of international crap down the road for the next administration to deal with.

The problem is, however, that those two years can turn into a long, long period in politics.

There is no profanity adequate to describe this national disgrace and his cohorts, IMO.

The only president that is both useless and dangerous at the same time.

How about this weekend's vusuals? ISIS maniacs carrying weapons supplied by the US are still commiting genocide on Christians. In Libya, the "friendly rebels" we no longer control have a pool party at the unguarded US Embassy. The kidnapped girls in Africa have probably been sold into slavery or worse. The president fundraises or vacations or plays golf AGAIN. I guess he'll slow down and get serious when there's a real crisis. (sarcasm)

...and then if something happens to him, we are in worse shape possibly....JOE BIDEN as President??!!! It would take a military coup to straighten things out at this point, IMHO.

He should be looking out for the interests of all citizens,, instead he works to advance the DemocRatic agenda and screws the nation instead.

There’s a hold up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn’s broken out in fights.
There’s a traffic jam in Harlem
That’s backed up to Jackson Heights.
There’s a scout troup short a child,
Kruschev’s due at Idlewild
Car 54, Where Are You?

This song came to mind with that list of world problems.

If we get another liberal president a military coup may happen any way.
