Barack Obama, Low Information President
AMERICAN THINKER ^ | November 14, 2013 | Jonathon Moseley

Posted on 11/14/2013 6:13:10 AM PST by Moseley

President Barack Obama is the perfect "Low Information President." He is not really interested very much in doing his job. He doesn't know anything going on in his own administration. He is always the last to know. He learns important developments only when he reads about it in the newspaper, apparently after first reading the sports section.

But Obama is keenly interested in basketball. He has turned his NCAA championship "brackets" predictions chart into a presidential event. He is into music, movies, culture. Obama is the "Pop Culture President." In fact, Obama is a "Bystander President" like Chauncy Gardiner in the movie Being There.

So a perfect solution has been proposed by Rick Trader, Host of the "Conservative Commandos Radio Show." The Commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA) David Stern is retiring at the end of this year. So let's give Barack Obama a promotion... to a job he might actually like doing some work in. Ladies and Gentleman: We give you the next Commissioner of the NBA, Barack Obama.

There's something in it for the whole family. Michele Obama obviously loves money as much as they both love hobnobbing with celebrities. The job of President pays $400,000 per year. But NBA Commissioner earns an estimated $20 to 23 million per year. All we have to do is let Michele know that she could get her hands on that for that family budget. And there is no term limit. Obama could probably keep the job for as many years as he likes.

Now, Joe Biden has always been Barack Obama's impeachment and assassination insurance. The biggest factor against anything happening to Obama is that his doofus Vice President Biden would take his place as president. But as we are learning more and more about how Obama governs, would there really be much of a difference? Biden is a cheerful, fun-loving dummy, the kind you invite over for a neighborhood picnic.

Obama's main support is from "low information voters." These are voters who do not pay much attention to the news or events affecting the nation, or which politician is to blame for what. They may be smart Americans. But they just don't care that much about politics or the fate of the nation. As a result, they are easily manipulated by superficial and emotional appeals in the mainstream media.

Now we know why Obama has a natural affinity with "low information voters." Obama is a "Low Information President." President Obama has played over 160 rounds of golf in office. Obama's White House has pickup basketball games with NBA basketball stars. Obama knows who is up for Academy Awards. He gets his news from Entertainment Tonight. He has entertained 50 cent and Jay-Zee.

Obama has championship winning teams visit him at the White House, such as the Dallas Mavericks. The First Family frequently hosts Hollywood celebrities. They have turned the White House into a concert hall for A list performers. George Lucas and Cuba Gooding Jr. visited in January 2012 to screen Red Tails in the presidential private movie theater.

He can tell you what movie won best picture. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick dropped by. Eva Longoria of the "Desperate Housewives" is a guest. Adrian Grenier, the star of the series "Entourage," visited. I am sure Barack Obama knows every word in the voicemails which Miami Dolphin Richie Incognito sent to teammate Jonathan Martin. He knows all the conversations between Trayvon Martin and teenage witness Jasmine Rand.

Well put.

But he (says he) is even MORE frustrated than the rest of us that this isnt working.
Its clearly someone else’s fault but he still takes full responsibility for it.

Obama was like electing the popular class clown as student body president. Everybody loves him. But that doesn’t mean he can do the job.

Barry is another one of those morons who watches MSNBC to find out what is going on in Washington D.C., America and the World.

Barack Obama, Low InformationIntelligence President

That's what you get when you vote for someone who got by on Foreign Student credit, affirmative action credits, hid their transcripts (among many other things) and cries "racist" anytime you oppose his naive, idiotic, communist views.

Great article. It actually speaks to the LIVs on their level. It would be a good one to post on social networking sites like FB for FReepers that do FB.

If your president leans Marxist, you don’t want him to be active and engaged.

Clown Prince nobama is the ultimate empty suit. Unfortunately, he has appointed his anti-Freedom, commie minions to ruin things. All should be in prison or deported.

I played a lot of golf in college (Campus Student Discount). In the Washington DC area, you can only play golf for about 8 months out of the year. He has likely averaged about a round of golf a week. A round of golf takes the average golfer about 4 hours. Obama is below average. It's an all day thing each time when you consider travel back and forth with the team.

So yea, who in the hell has that kind of time, especially when you consider, he is president of the US and he has teenage daughters. Has anyone else played anywhere near this much golf as president? Let's start tallying up all his recreational and down time. This a$$hat does nothing. He'd be fired as a starbuck's manager. He probably can't make a cup of coffee.

Europe has already figured us out.

The following Czech Republic newspaper editorial says it all about Barack Obama and the American low information voter:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”

Wow. They nailed it. And it's scary. They are right. Great catch.

Headline is spot-on. He goes spouting off about his healthcare law, all the while revealing he has nary a clue about how its supposed to work.

Amen. Just think of how many vacations this douchebag went on and how often he played golf over the last few years. Did he even think of calling his team together for a no-kidding update on the status of implementing his “signature legislation”?!?!?!? He sleeps too much and takes to much time off. I think he does it because he is a lazy, stupid, incompetent narcissist. If he shows up for work, he’ll be discovered as a fool. Any decent CEO would have been all over this every step of the way. What a tool.

Jonathon Moseley is not the first to use the phrase "Low Information President."

I believe that honor goes to FReeper Stand Watch Listen, who used it as his FR tagline on 24 October 2013, if not before.

Obama is the "Pop Culture President." In fact, Obama is a "Bystander President" like Chauncy Gardiner in the movie Being There.
