Snap: Press Mocks 'Golf O'Clock' Obama
The Washington Examiner ^ | Saturday, August 23, 2014 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 08/23/2014 2:31:21 PM PDT by kristinn

The White House press pool, with President Obama in Martha’s Vineyard to cover his every movement, seems to have had enough of their 16-day assignment.

After being snubbed by the president who didn’t show his face to reporters on Friday despite taking a long hike and attending fireworks, the press “pool” on Saturday turned to mockery as Obama hit the links -- again.

“Subject: Travel pool report #2 - golf o'clock,” said the second press pool report issued Saturday morning. “Those of you expecting more golf...will not be disappointed. After an uneventful drive, we have arrived at the Farm Neck golf club at 10:47 a.m. and POTUS is again hitting the links,” it added.

After today's round of golf, Obama will have played 192 times as president.

I’m shocked to hear this talk in the media criticizing Obama being on vacation. He’s their guy. He is not supposed to be criticized for any reason by the liberal media. What’s up with this?????

His plan to destroy the U.S. has been accomplished and he doesn’t need them anymore?

Why, they're just prepping the masses to accept Hillary! as the Newly Annointed One, of course.

like domestic abuse victims these journalists will take whatever Obama dishes out. So they whine a bit, Obama knows they got his back even if he wiretaps one of them.

Sounds like the press is offended because 0bama does not give a crap about them.

One self-indulgent narcissist not feeding the ego of a bunch of self-important water carriers.

This story pretty much defines a schadenfreude moment.

“His plan to destroy the U.S. has been accomplished and he doesn’t need them anymore?”

It’s amazing how many despots have turned their ire on their own bodyguard only to have them do him in. Stalin was killed by Beria. Caligula was killed by two of his Pretorian guard; one he’d mocked and one whose wife he raped. The press has been Obama’s guard much more so than the Secret Service. He has turned on them so they will turn on him.

Nothing's up with this.

The media may say they don't like it, but if their master -- little lord o -- was to snap his fingers two minutes from now there'd be a stampede to see who gets to be the first one under his desk ... well, that's their goal in life (at least during the present regime) ... that's what they get paid to do.

Truth to be told, The Won DOESN’T need them any more.

Thus the mocking. And it will grow louder and much more shrill, but since impeachment is unlikely, unless the Current Occupant chooses to resign from the office, we have him until January 2017.

Bambam shouldn’t diss the pressers or they might retaliate by reporting his golf scores.

It’s so obvious that the press corps is revealing its inner raaaaaaaaaaaacism!

King Putt can’t be bothered with foreign affairs or domestic issues, he has golf to play.

A recent Howard Kurtz story about the press boredom with Obama did say exactly that: the MSM is now just waiting on Hillary. Like, we can just bypass any silly, antiquated notion of an election.

Don’t trust the press. They’re just getting “ready for Hillary” now, as Howie Kurtz noted.

The idiot kiss-up press has much responsi8bility for creating Clown Prince nobama. They don’t get off so easy as they are coconspirators. They own the degenerate, the results of his “policies) and the commie infusion into government. They are anti-American punks themselves.
