Stressed Out President Obama Turning to drink? (orders 3 beers before 9:30am)
American Thinker Magazine ^ | March 30, 2015 | By Thomas Lifson

Posted on 03/30/2015 2:24:46 PM PDT by drewh

When the news broke Saturday from the White House press pool report accompanying President Obama on his golf outing in the midst of world crisis, I filed it away for possible future developments:

On a sunny and beautiful, if chilly morning, the president left the White House residence at 9:30am, wearing a light blue button-up shirt with no tie, a navy blazer and khaki slacks. He waved to the pool but didn’t respond to your pooler’s shouted question about the new Indiana religious freedom law. The president got into Marine One . . . The helicopter was wheels-up to Joint Base Andrews at 9:34am. Handing over now to the travel pool . . .

Marine One touched down at Joint Base Andrews at 9:41 a.m. POTUS bounded down the steps at 9:45. We’re headed for warmer climes. Up the AF1 steps moments later. You can tell this is a non-work trip (because) someone forward of the press cabin ordered 3 beers at 9:26 am.

Hmm, that’s pretty early to be hitting the sauce. Of course, we don’t know who ordered the beers. I suppose it is faintly possible that some underling didn’t mind drinking in front of the president as the day began.

But then yesterday:

The Commander-in-Chief, returning from a Florida trip where he played golf with wealthy donors, nearly took a tumble when exiting Air Force One on Sunday.

He gave a wave to media before stumbling for a second and resuming his trot down to the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington.

Still no conclusive proof of anything. Gerald Ford stumbled getting off Air Force One (and was endlessly mocked for it). Still, as the world careens out of control, it is not comforting.

Golf day. Beer at anytime is good if you are not driving.

Maintaining an ego as big as Obama’s is stressful. He worries the rest of the world just doesn’t understand his awesomeness.

Actually, pretty-much everything he has touched as Prezzy has turned out as he had hoped.

Your perspective and his are entirely different.

These days, Investigative journalism ends at the question, not the answer.

Journalists need to dig deep to get to the truth. If it were a Republican in office, they would dig deep and find the answer about the three beers.

That should make the title of this thread null and void.......

"Is a stressed out Obama turning to drink?"

"Turning to"? I've always gotten the impression that Zero's alcohol consumption was immoderate.*

I would guess that he's the heaviest drinker to occupy the White House since US Grant. (Where was the CIC during Benghazi?)

*"What does moderate drinking mean? According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, moderate alcohol consumption is defined as having up to 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men. This definition is referring to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days. The Dietary Guidelines also state that it is not recommended that anyone begin drinking or drink more frequently on the basis of potential health benefits because moderate alcohol intake also is associated with increased risk of breast cancer, violence, drowning, and injuries from falls and motor vehicle crashes."

9:30 am fits in the largest window between sunrise prayer time and Dhuhr prayer time.

Obama is a puppet. He does not have to know anything, do anything but what he is told, or even stay sober.

The Iranian born Valerie Jarret is running the show. She is his minder.
