Obama is an elitist. Period.

Obama , The President that never was

[BenLurkin]

I think he means “phoning it in”.

Bering “dialed in” is something else entirely.

[Pearls Before Swine]

"But Obama would not shut up. It was quite a long dinner."

Now the Italians know what we know.

From the Politico article linked above:

“There was a time in the first term when aides fretted over elaborate state dinners and how a glitzy Halloween party for the children of military service members, featuring actor Johnny Depp and movie director Tim Burton, would play with jobless Americans. Now, settled into the second term, the Obamas are less concerned about the optics of mingling with boldfaced names, and seem to want to take advantage of the presidential perch.

The presidential dinners, inside the White House and beyond, are more and more frequent. At one dinner, not previously disclosed, the Obamas hosted U2’s Bono, Gen. Colin Powell, Apple CEO Tim Cook, investor Warren Buffett and World Bank President Jim Yong Kim. Another drew actors Will Smith and Samuel L. Jackson, along with journalist Gayle King. Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue, attended a dinner with fashion industry insiders.

The guests don’t appear on the public visitor logs because they are considered “purely personal” visits. Multiple White House aides claimed not to know about them. Valerie Jarrett, the senior adviser and longtime confidant of the Obamas who organizes the dinners, appears to be the only regular from the West Wing.

The late-night dinners don’t have an agenda. The protocol is that Obama has to leave first, participants say, but he seems to never want them to end. The bull sessions satisfy the president’s intellectual curiosity as he indulges in nuanced conversations about life, ideas and art.”

Pompous, secretive, elitist and disengaged, all protected by a sycophantic media. That's the 0bama presidency in a nutshell.

He knows there is a chance that the Republicans will control Congress next January, and he has said, according to Politico, that this “would make his last two years in office unbearable.”

Then do us all a favor and resign.

The fourth ‘graph from the end is a classic. The more I read, the more I thought, “This is like something from the Capitol in ‘The Hunger Games’”. Very La-de-da and completely worthless.

The fact that this bullshit makes nobama light up just shows what a shallow, empty, sad, pseudo-intellectual he is.

[Excellence]

What does a man like that put in his presidential library?
