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.

I woke up this morning and found both cars gone.
I threw my beer right across the lawn.
Hitting the sauce? A beer? Or 3? Doesn’t really peg my GiveADamn meter.
OTOH...When you think about it, it’s probably better that the President, not just Obama but any President, refrain from drinking at all. And this coming from someone who has probably drank up, if not a small ocean at least one of the lessor Great Lakes. I should know....
Started drinking? If memory serves Ostumbles medical report a year or so ago called for a reduction in alchohol consumption. And you just know in your heart he’s smoking like a chimney. :-)
The president got into Marine One
It is a stain to the honor of the Corps that they are forced to transport THIS guy .
Maybe they were ordered for the night shift...or maybe duh-1 can add 'sot' to his resume.
“...we don’t know who ordered the beers...”
The Secret Service probably reached some kind of agreement with Obama.
“You let us keep drinking like we’ve done since you got elected, and we’ll keep pretending we respect you enough to protect you.”
If I was married to the wookie, I’d be dead drunk by 9:30 am too...
Panther Whizz?
How many days a week does he golf? He could have a serious drinking problem.
I’ d think he’d order three queers before three beers. Maybe Valerie Jarrett would let him have a Shirley Temple, to make him feel like a big boy...
Seriously, this could explain a great deal of his decisions since 2010.
That was a dance move. You know, like Michael Jackson might have done.
It's always 9:30AM somewhere
No worry, Valerie has things under control.
Has he wet his pants ?
“Golf day. Beer at anytime is good if you are not DRIVING.”
So barry is really just doing 18 holes at the Putt-Putt? (Actually, that seems more his style!)
“Golf day. Beer at anytime is good if you are not driving.”
Or, if you are poorly driving. I’ve found a couple of beers around the third tee straightens out the drive quite well...
