Sorry Barry, you've got to stay with the girl who brought you to the dance. You couldn't have been elected without the press on your side, now they expect to stand by your side . . . 24/7.
From Politico.
The media glare, the constant security appendage and the sheer production that has become a morning jog or a hankering for an ice cream cone its been closing in on Barack Obama for some time.Now the president-elect appears increasingly conscious of the confines of his new position, bristling at the routine demands of press coverage and beginning to chafe at boundaries that are only going to get smaller.
Obama even took the unusual step Friday morning of leaving behind the pool of reporters assigned to follow him, taking his daughters to a nearby water park without them. It was a breach of longstanding protocol between presidents (or presidents-elect) and the media, that a gaggle of reporters representing television, print and wire services is with his motorcade at all times.
And by the sounds of that, the press is getting a little surly with Obama. They are reporters, for crying out loud, there are longstanding protocols to be followed. And if Barry chooses not to follow the rules, reporters start writing stories about what a whiny cupcake he is about overbearing press coverage.

on the backstory?-Michelle Obama’s time spent working @Sidley Austin >intellectual & property law
Barney-the purple dinosaur & also something about COORS LITE
She was a bit of a bi/otch there & ruffled some senior feathers when she complained to HR about how she wasn’t being given more demanding responsibilities yet never approached her direct supervisor.Sidley Austin mind you only takes the creme de la creme but always had affirmitive action policy in place & if someone were to read her old contract with them it was carefully couched.Her license to practice law was revoked in 1993-see www.atlasshrugs.com for that
THIS??? Is a president?
Hat on backwards like an ignorant gang banger? OR...is that a Muzzie Skull Prayer Cap? (It is actually a White Sox baseball cap...)
He is a disgusting piece of filth, has no respect for the office.
” Whatever mental issues he had before...will simply be magnified and no amount of medication can carry a guy in a job like this. I think he signed up for something that he really cant do. His life was a stage with a chance to leave each night before...now, he cant leave the stage for four years...and maybe eight. I think hes screwed up big-time.”
You have distilled quite nicely what many of us have observed about Barry.
The man is a product of a pathologically dysfunctional family.
His autobiographies are teeming with rage at his mother and grandparents.
He’s used drugs , alcohol and extreme withdrawal both in high school and college
to try and cope with his anger, alienation and abandonment issues.
He’s never been challenged to succeed and failure has always been an accepted option.
Obama is supremely unequipped emotionally, mentally and physically for the pressures
and demands of the world’s most stressful job.
His tenure could be a calamity of epic proportions.

Obama’s ‘Present’ Voting Called Into Question by Palin, Others
From http://www.enterprisemission.com/Chandra-NASA-Accusation.htm
What made all this really special was the fact that the same source also said (and in this same phone call ...) that both presidential campaigns McCains and Obamas had just had similar briefings (part of the normal national security procedures for every about-to-be-elected president). And that McCain (because of his 26 years of Senate Armed Services and Intelligence Committtee experience ...) already knew most of what the briefing told him. The problem (so I was, again, informed ...) was with Obama:
He didnt know whether to believe the briefing!
Obamas major concern (according to this phone call) given the mind-blowing, history-changing nature of the information (for most Americans ...) was that he was being gamed by the Bush White House ... in a (literal) mind-blowing attempt to set him up ... for some kind of credibility problem in the campaign later on!
That report when first published might have been looked at with a bit of skepticism but is the evidence mounting now so much that the cracks can’t be ignored?
On the other hand, maybe his fragile psyche was the reason he was chosen.
Pres isn’t allowed to drive his own truck or text his own messages. He might be allowed to watch a basketball game on TV once a month.
Please, MSM, no more pix of Zer0 shirtless while running on the beach or at the gym exercising, I beg of you! Those “moobs” are ugh-lee! Other than that, I’d like to see lots of pictures of him standing outside the WH, hands shaking as he smokes his ciggie, with that “what have I gotten myself into?” look on his face.
Press attention? It could be a hell of a lot worse, Hussein. If you were a republican, the press would be interested in your birth certificate!
I’ve made that same point in a number of different ways on other threads.
So far, he’s managed to skate out of making any really hard calls. Anything remotely controversial he ducked either by skipping the vote or voting “present”.
Well Baby-Barry’s going to have to learn that you can’t vote “present” as President. Presidents get nothing but the hard calls. That’s pretty much the definition of the job, when you get right down to it.
After all. If it’s an easy decision to make, he’ll never see it. It gets handled at a lower level.
I don’t think he can do it. If he thinks he’s just going to be able to rule by decree, accept adulation at his whim and be left alone the rest of the time, he’s going to be very very disappointed.
I predict he resigns in less than a year.
He is starting to make the excuse as to why he will avoid the press and will give few interviews.
Forget your stinking waffle, Zer0. We want our pie and we want it now! You wanted to be Pie Master, now you’re Pie Master.
” I predict he resigns in less than a year.”
I’ve actually wondered if he’ll bolt before Jan 20th.
He can’t do it, but he can get out there and repeat what his handlers tell him to say. He will never have to make any decisions, it will all be done for him. He probably has an acting coach. Pelosi and Biden and Reid and Soros will be running the whole thing.
... that would suit me just fine.
The Dalibama! ROFLMAO! First time I’ve seen that....Excellent!
“The Dalibama! ROFLMAO! First time Ive seen that....Excellent!”
Dalibama is not original to me. I don’t remember where I read it, but it sounds like Michelle Malkin.
