WASHINGTON • Attention has been focused on who becomes our next president, but meanwhile the incumbent is on quite a roll.
Throughout his tour of Alaska, President Obama looked full of his old swagger. He took photos of Denali — the former Mt. McKinley — through the windows of Air Force One and shared them via Instagram. He used melting glaciers as a backdrop to talk about climate change, posed with small children and large fish, and became the first sitting president to venture north of the Arctic Circle.
He seemed to smile throughout the trip, and why not? The nuclear agreement that Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated with Iran is now safe from congressional meddling. U.S. economic growth for the second quarter was a healthy 3.7 percent. Unemployment has fallen to 5.1 percent, according to figures released Friday. Saudi King Salman — portrayed by Obama's critics as peeved with the president — dropped by the White House on Friday for a chat, reportedly renting an entire luxury hotel for his entourage. And later this month, Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to arrive for what promises to be the most important state visit of the year.

That would thrill me to no end.
Will he smile in prison...and, then, in exile? One can only hope that Justice finds him.
Eugene got a little something he needs to wipe off his chin...
The cocaine was excellent and plentiful on board AF1.
Mr. Robinson is putting his profound ignorance of geography on display. For that matter, Mr. Robinson is putting his profound ignorance on display.
President Obama has been a disaster. But you would not know it from what a fawning media writes about him.
Kotzebue, Alaska is a pretty cool place. The Polar Bear Hunting Capitol of the World. It used to have the northernmost Dairy Queen in the World when I was last there.
Yep! And to think that people who call themselves Christians voted for him.
How that liberal idiot, Eugene Robinson ever won a Pulitzer prize is beyond me.
Obama has gotten to where he is through bluff, made possible by the most pathetic, gutless, disgusting group of Republicans ever assembled in Congress. They could shut him down tomorrow — if they wanted to.
Eugene is a moron.
It is now awarded on a political basis, not talent.
Same way Obola got his Nobel Peace Prize.
What’s sad about most of the MSM is not only do they defend the whacked out policies the left spews out, but they also believe in it too.
I totally concur....BTW Eugene is a D-bag and Obama has a ticket to Hell.
Also note that the Founding States gave Congress the specific power to impeach and remove lawless presidents like Obama for making executive orders excuses which are not supported by either Congress or the Constitution.
The reason that Obama has a history of making unconstitutional executive orders is because the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate is not willing to work with the House to impeach and remove lawless presidents like Obama from office.
The bottom line is that the ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and lawless presidents as well.
President Obama has been a disaster. But you would not know it from what a fawning media writes about him.
It’s ok. We would probably lose the election if Obama was doing a great job. We are going to win this argument when our republican wins the Presidency which I believe will happen. Individuals are pissed off big time and they blame Obama....doesn’t matter what the media says. Individuals knows the truth for sure. The other thing we have going for us is that Democrats have not won a third consecutive Presidential Election in over 50 years. This is our election to lose for real.
