Barack Obama dropped in for a cup of coffee along the Jersey shore with his new BFF Chris Christie and got what is really the only thing he wanted from that visit- a photo-op. A chance to appear as though he cared. A chance to look Presidential. A chance to appear as though he was doing his job.
Christie was sickeningly effusive in this praise of Obama.
Then it was off to Vegas, baby, complete with a newly acquired load of.....er.....gravitas!
From the Obama flacks at Yahoo:
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev.--Gone are the jokes about "Romnesia" and the loose talk of a "campaign marathon extravaganza." For Barack Obama, the president of a nation reeling from a storm that devastated the Eastern Seaboard, it's time for gravitas.Standing in front of a skyline of red mountains not far from the College of Southern Nevada, Obama's election address sounded more like the speeches he delivered when he campaigned for president four years ago. His original message of hope and compromise, subdued by four years of a stubbornly high unemployment rate and partisan gridlock, re-emerged Thursday.
The jokes and the ridicule aren't playing and it seems Obama has caught on:
While almost all of his speeches before superstorm Sandy were filled with direct mentions of his GOP challenger, the president mentioned Mitt Romney by name only once during the speech. Obama chose instead to refer to Romney as "my opponent," "the governor," or "the guy who's running for president right now." He also sought to reclaim the word "change" as his own, hammering Romney as a president who would return to policies embraced by former President George W. Bush.

Barry got his photo ops and bounce with Sandy. Life is good for the ‘RATS.
So did a celebrity on the telethon say “Barack Obama hates White people”?
Katrina: Bush's fault
Sandy: Everybody but Obama's fault.
Katrina: "Where's Bush?"
Sandy: "Where's the governor? Where's the mayor? Where's FEMA?"
The Kenyan must need another bag of cocaine, off to Vegas again.
There are presidents who have said screw the campaign, I need to be here where I’m needed most. I know Dubya would have and I even think Clinton would have.
The contrast between the people in NY shivering, dumpster diving and waiting in line for hours for one gallon of gas and Obama glitzing it up in Vegas with the beautiful people is starting to get coverage.
Is obama really in Vegas ?
I am beyond disgusted!
Why is it that everytime something hits the fan, Barry Soretoro is hanging out in Las Vegas, first, a grisly murder, of which we only have access to the opening stages, where they are taking an obviously either dead or unconscious Chris Stevens, and the start of the action from this Middle Eastern sodomites unfolding. I have heard little honest answers from Obama. The most recent confession from the Army high command came today on NPR, ADMITS and I say, ADMITS, that their closest armed troops to respond to an attack in Libya, would take 5 hours to reach there, I thought, WTF? Did our commander in chief ever forget that airstrikes don’t win wars completely, did our commander in chief have the slightest clue that we should have at least some peacekeeping troops in Libya to protect American assets following our carpetbombing of the place. Where was Obama when Stevens asked for help, and it had become clear that the whole situation at the embassy was a curbstomp for the terrorists, with their being able to plant a bomb to take down a section of wall, then the whole issue of making up a B.S. excuse when the facts were, or certainly far from ruled out, that terrorism was even dead with bin Laden’s death.
As a final note, I found it interesting to compare Obama’s statements on bin Laden to Bush’s about capturing a putting down Saddam Hussein for war crimes. Bush didn’t mention “I” in his speeches. Guess what? “Obama did”.
Obama is perhaps the most rude, and conceited person I have ever seen on TV in my life, and that’s saying something, because I can say that Billy Jeff Clinton was a runner-up for a rude narcissist in the White House.
Obama should have at least taken time for condolences, I was able to at least express condolences for a parent of a fellow high school classmate who got killed in an awful auto crash, yet Obama can’t give condolences to the Stevens family with proper timing, whereas I had to take time out of my day, a few minutes, anyways, to write some honest, sincere condolences for my friend whose life was cut short, and Obama didn’t show care for an appointee of his named Christopher Stevens. Which lends to the mystery of what makes people like Romney who at least has a sense of manners such scumbags, to some people, but not Obama.
After telling businessmen not to go to Las Vegas at the beginning of his term, it seems he heads there the day after every crisis. Weird.
I’m hoping we see him heading to Vegas on November 7th after his concession speech.
With all due respect, don't EVEN give that rapist, opportunistic asshole Clinton credit for anything. Ever. I'm sick of seeing the media and the libs promote his sorry, greedy, horny ass as some kind of elder statesman/pragmatist.
He's among the worst of the worst, and if there was anything resembling justice in this country any more (and there isn't), he and Barry the Kenyan would be clamped in irons and frogmarched off to prison.
Of course, pu**y nation that we have become largely due to Hollywood and the MSM....that will never happen.
Being with Christie probably reminded Obama of his Chicago bath house days! The NJ governor is probably the fattest whore in history.

I think Chrissie’s career is over.
“Why is it that everytime something hits the fan, Barry Soretoro is hanging out in Las Vegas”
WTF is in Vegas??? Whores! Gamblers! Drunks! Union goons!
In other words, a fine ‘Rat constituency!/s;)
He is so stupid... He would get GREAT, FREE coverage if he stayed off the trail to deal with Sandy.
Clinton can at least fake compassion. Obama can’t.
