Obama races home from Israeli funeral for party
The Washington Times ^ | September 30, 2016 | Dave Boyer

President Obama was in a big hurry to return to the White House for a party Friday night.

Only trouble was, he started the day in Israel. After attending the funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres, Mr. Obama was seen impatiently imploring former President Bill Clinton to climb aboard Air Force One at the airport in Israel for the return flight to the U.S.

“Let’s go!” Mr. Obama shouted to Mr. Clinton on the tarmac. “I gotta get home!”

On the return flight, Air Force One even skipped a scheduled refueling stop in Bangor, Maine, and flew directly back to Washington, a nonstop flight of 11 hours, 25 minutes.

with the exception of the flight crew it would have been wonderful for it to auger in as it staves for fuel

“Tonight the president is hosting a private social gathering with friends, former colleagues and early supporters from Illinois in the White House.”

Nice of the taxpayers to entertain his friends.

If they had to refuse in Bangor, why did they not refuel?

If the hurricane hits a predominantly white area, he’ll be nowhere to be found.

Typical Obama, can’t even eulogize the dead without making it all about me, me, me.

A retired Army colleague of mine died suddenly, collapsing at the breakfast table as his wife looked on. The funeral was well attended, his widow managed to stay composed, and then an “old friend” stood to deliver the eulogy.

Didn’t mention the deceased by name even once, just droned on about his feelings, how much this death affected him, blah blah blah. The widow was nearly hysterical and I wanted to slug the selfish SOB.

Again, Obama displays typical narcissistic behavior like this other creep.

FWIW after the graveside service I sat with my friend’s widow and told her what a fine man her husband was & his many likeable qualities. I mentioned that I too was widowed. Stand-in eulogy I guess; someone had to tell her much he would be missed by others including herself.

“I was surprised he even went to this funeral.”

The dead guy wanted the same for Israel, so definitely a meeting of the minds. I guess the difference was that Mr. Perez was a REALLY BRAVE soldier, compared to our guy that cannot even through an overheat pitch without looking like someone from San Francisco.
