WHAT??? The world is in crisis mode and Obama’s still on Grand Tour?
Good. These are his peeps. I fail to feel their pain.
Gotta keep those donations from “the rich” rolling in.
The speech at Cross Campus is just a show, so that POTUS can use our money to fly AF1 to a fundraiser. If he just flew in for the fundraiser, it would be illegal.
“Please stay out of these areas because POTUS is near” = Third Amendment?
"No dagblabbit, I said that the POTUS is a n..." *DING*
Bammy: Say HI to open-border Gov. Jerry Brown while in Mexifornia while scooping up those green-backs from Follywood.
I doubt if he will actually be at any of those places at precisely those times.
But it does give an idea of where to lurk if someone is looking to get a glimpse of his motorcade of armored limos.
Marxists can never have TOO MUCH money. Barry loves that stuff.
From the article:
“Also, the way the White House handled the scandal remains a sore point among rank-and-file members of the Secret Service more than two years later.”
Hmmmm. Anything to do with the current security breeches at the White House? Makes one wonder...
Oops! Wrong thread. Disregard previous transmission! :)
I hope motorists jam the streets and his motorcade is slowed to a crawl.
Would be a good thing if they did.
Since the areas and times to avoid them are published maybe some Freepers in CA would be willing to place themselves in the path?
Although contact with barry’s people is risky.
Can I ask a stupid question?
why does Obama do so many fundraisers, as opposed to campaigning with candidates for office in these mid-term elections?
Why does he raise money, but not hit the campaign trail with Democrats?
why do we hear this talk that Democrats don’t want to be seen with Obama, if he’s so popular???
Well, maybe not illegal, he would just have to pay for it and the costs incurred for a private fundraising trip. This guy knows every way around the laws including the Constitution. The country is falling apart and this guy does nothing but traipse about like an African Dictator of old.
I noticed yesterday there was a PR that his excellency was going to meet with his senior military leaders to “discuss THEIR plans" regarding ISIL. He is assigning the blame. What a guy.
He remains popular with the Lear Jet Leftists because they (like he) are resolutely anti-American.
Just my opinion.
The Lear Jet Leftists run the so-called “entertainment” industry — and gull the Democrat proles into voting for anti-American politicians and policies by packaging left wing propaganda within the “entertainment” which is sold to the proles.
