I can’t picture these freeloaders paying a dime of their own money.

How does a perfesser that teaches black history afford a second home in Martha’s Vineyard?

Why the heck did I get Chris Mathews’ voice blaring at me with a slathering endorsement of Obama when I clicked on the original link?

How disgusting!

dunno.

he probably gets overly rewarded by harvard because of his high status. not to mention, race.

also, he’s the recipient of a macarthur “genius” award. that’s a lotta money.

I look at this as a cost savings. Every moment he is goofing off, he is not actively working to screw something up and add additional burden to the economy.

This is just another stimulus program by the Obozo behind the curtain, his Amazon big spender and of course his faithful czars who go along for their tough job of being with their beloved Obozo.

His “people” continue his policies no matter where he is.

He doesn’t celebrate his children’s birthdays or his because they are muslim. His celebrations are fund raisers. Was there a cake?

No, Obama’s vacation will save taxpayers Billions. In fact, I wish he and the 1st Wookie has vacationed and golfed and dined out every day of his presidency, preferably abroad. He would have added a few hundred million to the national debt instead of trillions.

I see him as a Malignant Narcissist first and foremost, an American-hating marxist second and a Muslim sympathizer third. Good conservatives can disagree on these points though. I don’t argue my perspective or try to convert others to it. There’s more than enough to criticize and oppose in Obama no matter what we believe resides in his heart of hearts.

NOT true....he has placed people in government positions to carry on his destruction of our country no matter where he is.

Nothing stops his plan.

I see him as a Malignant Narcissist first and foremost...

Obama manifests elements of schizophrenia--a mental disorder that makes it difficult to tell the difference between real and unreal experiences, to think logically, to have normal emotional responses.

The symptoms are all there:

(1) The urge to hurt someone (manifested by conducting FBI surveillance on innocent conservatives).

(2) Feeling hopeless or overwhelmed coupled with the urge to escape (numerous vacations and golf outings).

(3) Seeing things that aren't really there (bedeviled by thoughts of a vengeful Tea Party).

(4) Obsessing about phantom enemies (continually blaming GW Bush for a failed economy).

(5) Feeling he cannot leave the White House (the urge to raise a billion dollars to get reelected).

(6) Being unable to care for himself (financing ACORN, La Raza and other subversive groups as his private militia).

=====================================

When he gets kicked out of office, Americans will look back on the short-lived Obama Era as the Age of The Misfit. He promulgated cockeyed policies---not to confirm and advance the stability of a world-class culture.

Obamae catered to the Third World, to dictators, terrorists, tyrants------to every misfit on the planet.

He took pride in not celebrating the girls’ birthdays or Christmas.

Really? How awful for those girls. They must be miserable.

In addition to everything else, Obama manifests evidence of brain damage. I’ve read articles by psychiatrists that cite some of his weirder actions and tie them into the classic symptoms of a damaged brain. If you recall, Obama does have an unexplained scar on his scalp.

There’s just so much about this ghastly, horrible, disastrous president we don’t know. It’s a shame he has to wreck our economy in order to awaken many of the voters who put him in office.
