Obama Lobbying Congress From Sand Trap
White House Dossier ^ | 09/07/2013 | Keith Koffler

Posted on 09/07/2013 3:24:45 PM PDT by Hoodat

President Obama today took time out from what the White House is billing as an intensive Syria resolution lobbying campaign to play golf.

He’s playing with a few of his usual group of junior staffers - Mike Brush, Marvin Nicholson, and Joe Paulsen. But just minutes after the press pool reported Obama is on the golf course, the White House made sure to issue the pooler the following bulletin:

This afternoon, the President received an update from his Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough, on the administration’s latest consultations with members of Congress. The President will make additional calls to members of Congress this weekend.
No laziness going on here!

They’re at the Andrews Air Force Base course, where it’s 79 degrees and sunny. It’s Obama’s 32nd time playing this year and the 143rd time of his presidency.

Did you expect otherwise? This man truly has no concept of what leadership really is. I realize now that at no time in his life has he ever been exposed to it.

Valerie just checked my offshore holdings and issued the "Obama
Doctrine:" the bombing mission must protect my image. Any
resulting damage---mitigated by war profiteering---is an
acceptable trade-off.

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

BACKGROUND MUSIC---"That Old Black Magic Has Me In Its Spell"

" This'll get done fast---I gotta get back to golf."

"A few measly bombs will pump-up all of our resumes,
especially Benghazi screw-ups Susan Rice, candidate Hillary...
and that pontificating jerk, Kerry. "

"And at $50 billion per day for the incursion, all who support me,
Republican and Democrat, will get a cut. Should be in the
neighborhood of a few $hundred million each. "

"War-profiteering is big bucks. Just ask the 'bombs-away neocons."
That damn *itch Michelle's nagging me for new diamonds and a
pricey Vineyard house."

“Obama Lobbying Congress From Sand Trap”

He doesn’t know what a “sand trap” is yet.

Funny thing about Obama .... there are several ‘stereotypes’ about the non-white half of his makeup, such as lazy and incompetent. Unfortunately, for those who vote for him based on the non-white half (and nothing else), he’s reinforcing those stereotypes every day.

It is a game you are either skilled at... with normal practice or incompetent but needing desperately to learn how to play so you can be among dealmakers and not look like what he is... a fraud.

It is addictive, the precision effort, sense of control (none really) and the “prestige” which has definitely come down several notches since Bobby Jones graced the courses.

Another addiction— more and different gear... if you could just have... insert name here... you’d be better. Marginally supportable, but usually a money pit of crap.

Or even a honey trap... unless it’s a bathhouse in Chicago with his bro’s doing lines. Photos at 11-—not!

the media would have their own hand-made effigies of bush hanging from a noose if bush was doing half the craptacular job obama is doing.

I admire the good golferz for their skill. I was just struck how contemptuous it is for someone to try to longer up a war while not even pretending to take his job seriously. But Instead to just go off and play games all day.

When the Arabs chased down Africans on the continent as fodder for the slave trade, they caught the most slow-footed and stupid of that population. The smart ones got away.

obuma is a prime descendent and example of what America received from the Arab slave traders.

Care to be specific, or do you just throw out a stupid insult and run.
