Pool Reports: Obama Trip to North Carolina April 23, 2010 (golfing, of course)
White House Press Pool via Time ^ | 04/23/2010 | Pool

Posted on 04/23/2010 12:13:52 PM PDT by OldDeckHand

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama boarded a baby Air Force One on a sunny Friday morning, kicking off their weekend vacation in Asheville, N.C.

The smaller plane was to accomodate the first couple's short flight to the modest Asheville airport in Western North Carolina, where they plan to enjoy a quiet weekend with no scheduled public events. (Forecasted thunderstorms in Asheville, however, could foil any presidential golf plans).

Marine One landed at Andrews AFB at 11:58 a.m. The first couple boarded baby AF1 at noon. POTUS is dressed in suit and tie. FLOTUS is more casual, in all black, hair swept back and sunglasses on, carrying a lime green handbag.

This guy has played more golf this year than Tiger Woods. That's really not any kind of exaggeration.

He's played more golf this year then Tiger Woods.

But at least Tiger has a higher level of morality then Obama.

I am not sure. Breaking one's marriage vows and bringing shame onto your wife and kids is, IMO, about as low as you can go in morals.

Surprised this wasn't billed as a "date weekend."

The kids must be tagging along.

Every time I read about these little power-down junkets by the prez and his wife, I cannot help but think that this is the main reason he ran for president ... to have fun while "Rome" burns.

I can’t help notice that there is no picture of the “casually dressed” First Lady in the article. I think last time she wore shorts and a tank top.

“I will not rest until businesses are investing again and businesses are hiring again and people have work again,” (Obama 11/23/09)
“My administration will not rest until it tracks down everyone involved in the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound flight” (Obama 11/28/09)
Wow! Did I miss the news that he’s delivered on his promises? Liar.

I’m guessing Cindy Sheehan won’t be hanging around outside while Barack and Michelle enjoy their date. My how things have changed.

And you think that's a bad thing? I say golf more! Every day would be best.

After that picture of her in those ghastly wrinkled shorts and too-tight tank top and sweater made the rounds, showing her huge thighs thundering off AF1, I notice that all other pictures of her exiting or entering AF1 or Marine1 show her dressed more appropriately - casual, but at least neat. She'll never ever have the class of Laura Bush, who looked and acted like a First Lady, because you can't buy class.

I agree, but Obozo's CRIMES affect MILLIONS of people.

I agree! He needs to be out golfing and vacationing every day for the rest of his presidency. The country needs a break from him and his “Hope and Change”.

I wish I liked them more, but honestly, I can’t seen to stand the sight of either of them.
