How about a little side of ‘rash’ with your bowl of chafe?
Hours Into Office, Obama Chafes At Bubble
Barack Obama used to be a walker, breaking from his work for 15 minutes each afternoon to stroll outside and clear his head. But that was then. On the first day of his life as the 44th president of the United States, Obama needed to travel three blocks from his temporary home to a church service. The trip required 20 Secret Service agents, a 14-car motorcade, precautionary gas masks [oh brother!] and a specially armored Cadillac limousine.
That wake-up call at 8:47 a.m. set the tone for the rest of Obama’s day and foreshadowed at least the next four years of his life. Simple trips will never again be simple; personal space will no longer belong to him. So, even as he celebrated his inauguration, Obama acted like a man bestowed with sobering new burdens.
Cry me an effing river. He wanted change, he got change.
Next MSM Barkey headline: “Four Days Into Office, Obama Sneezes, Smiles. Film at 11.”
Carter 44 needs to wake up. Apparently he was completley without a clue about security for whoever gets elected to our highest office? Where has he been all his life – woopsie, I forget. Maybe he needs to have mr wright come to his parlor for prayers and use the White House bowling alley for exercise instead of going for a walk. Give us a cost cutting example by not using valuable resources to go for a trip of a few blocks.
I’d suggest that he just resign and end the torment, but I’m pretty sure that that would leave us with Joe Biden as Prez. It’s only a guess, but I don’t think he’d mind all hassle at all. However, the very mention of “President Biden” gives me hives!
Tammy – The Onion online news segment you posted last week has become reality! Are we now going to hear that O is suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder by Friday?
This is a guy who has never carried any sort of responsbility whatsoever. He has never had real employment or written real legislation. He’s talked himself into every office he’s held. It’s not because he’s a great communicator (that definitely belongs to Reagan), but that he’s a Grand Manipulator. Now that there are expectations and responsibilities with a presidency, he probably won’t handle it very well. He might even get sweat on his brow. I think it would be great if he had a nervous breakdown. Better him than us!
And I have drawn my own conclusions about why so many gas masks would be needed in a Barky motorcade…
Yep, he wanted change and he got it! Now go get your diaper changed, too, Barky.
Marleed, he can insist the first five in the line of succession resign simultaneously: himself, Biden, Pelosi, Byrd, and Hillary. Since Geithner and Holder haven’t been confirmed yet, that would leave us with President Bob Gates. I’d be OK with that.
Part of the fundamental problem we have in finding leadership is anyone who would put up with what a president puts up with is insane. A president is essentially stuck in a very luxurious prison for the rest of his life. He can never again stroll down the street for a cheeseburger. Seems to me the job is hell on Earth. What sort of person would seek it?
Actually, I read that he started this chafing at the bit when he was recently vacationing in Hawaii. He really does not get that he will have to give up the free spirit thing, because now he got what he wanted, to be POTUS, but I think he was clueless to the fact that this is actually a work activity, a sacrifice from something greater than himself … something greater than himself – now there’s a true riddle for him to untie!
Wait until the real sobering new burdens hit the hapless Hopey.
As B.Hussein was coming down the aisle moments before he took the oath he had a look on his face of such uncertainty and fear. A look of ” Oh s**t, what have I gotten myself into ? ” He ain’t seen nothing yet.
I’m reminded of an excerpt from one of his books (The Audacity of Hope, maybe) that Laura Ingraham read on her show, where he came across as being very naive when it came to something pertaining to being senator. I wish I could find the excerpt and post it.
I think we’ll see a lot more peevishness from President Why Can’t I Just Eat My Waffle. He’s a spoiled man-child. The self-proclaimed incarnation of Lincoln will soon learn you can be adored by some of the people all of the time but you won’t be adored by all of the people all of the time. There’s a gathering storm of temper tantrums building. (I don’t remember if he included Churchill in his pantheon of absorbed greatness.)
You get what you vote (pay) for.
Bill Clinton, a former governor of a small state (Arkansas), salary around $46,000, an impeached and disbarred President, was given numerous passes on his character, associates, and world fundraisings, amassed $millions of (personal) dollars while IN the White House.
Now the Clinton’s are worth over $500,000,000.
Hillary Clinton, the Senator of New York, with NO PRIOR PUBLIC SERVICE EXPERIENCE is now the Secretary of State, again with NO PRIOR INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE and or INTERNATIONAL STUDIES EDUCATION.
The Clinton’s constantly raised money, while Bill played with the young ladies, through out his (their) 8 years in office. Subsequently, thanks to the Clinton’s greed and the people (associates) he appointed we had 11 September, 2001 horrific terrorist attacks, 9 months later.
Now the Clinton’s and their associates ARE BACK IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Lord Help Us!!!
Barack (birth name Billy) Husain Obama, 1st term (3rd year) Chicago Senator, campaigning for President 2 years. Is being giving numerous passes on his character, associates, and world fundraising?
Now he is the President of the UNITED States. Lord Help Us!!!
Are we ready for another horrific terrorist attack?
MEDIA DOESN’T COUNT, CHARCTER ALWAYS COUNTS
GOD BLESS AMERICA
I see a pack a day habit not too far down the pike.
This is just the beginning of big changes for Benito Obamolini. Those abrupt cigarette breaks he’s used to will have to end. He can’t just stop a meeting with the Joint Chiefs because the pressure is mounting and he needs to go outside for a smoke. He’ll be reduced to lighting up on the spot under the disapproving gaze of people who have actual accomplishments. The walls will really start to close in as blond tarts like Scarlett Johansson begin throwing themselves at him. Michelle will be watching him like cats around a mouse hole. Before long, the most attractive women he’ll be allowed to speak to other than his wife, will be Madeleine Albright and Helen Thomas.
Wonder if BO has Nicorette bubble gum
“That wake-up call at 8:47 a.m.” when most people have been at their workplaces for about an hour.
I’ll spare the comparisons to the hours other presidents are reported to have kept.
Oh, and dancing all night? That was not for the country it was for Obama’s.
All the more reason to be up’n'atem.
I wonder about the smoking thing myself. Since the White House is federal property, I assume that smoking is prohibited. I keep picturing Barry standing on the loading dock behind the White House, trying to keep warm, while having a butt.
IDIOT#3– What a great nick-name Benito-Obamalini! I’m starting to feel ancient now, but I recall the last un-real media infatuation was with the youngest POTUS John Kennedy. He was news wherever he went, and whatever he did. I wasn’t allowed to watch much TV as a kid, but I do remember getting really angry that every time I got watch the tube, my viewing was interruped by some big news that Kennedy went to get a physical, or Kennedy had an old fashioned picnic on the white house lawn, or Kennedy hired a French chef to teach the kitchen staff how to cook, blah, blah, blah. Get ready for a whole lot of new blah, blah blah.
By the way, Barkey better get used to leaving a size 18-1/2 EEEE carbon foot print wherever he goes. I noticed the new Escaladozine is definitely not a Hybrid.
Of course we’ve avoided discussing the other confessed addiction……..
