Baghdad Barry sez: "The system worked!"
According to (WaPo)Kornblut's pool report:
"We did not actually lay eyes on him as the motorcade circled through the military base and dropped him off. We are told that he'll have a longer excursion today — a workout and then some basketball with 'friends and staff.' It is strongly believed that some of his golf buddies from yesterday will play, as will Reggie Love and Ben Finkenbinder.
"Burton has passed along this statement from President Obama on the passing of Percy Sutton: 'Percy Sutton was a true hero to African Americans in New York City and around the country. We will remember him for his service to the country as a Tuskegee Airman, to New York State as a state assemblyman, to New York City as Manhattan Borough president, and to the community of Harlem in leading the effort to revitalize the world renowned Apollo Theater. His life-long dedication to the fight for civil rights and his career as an entrepreneur and public servant made the rise of countless young African Americans possible. Michelle and I extend our deepest condolences to his family on this sad day.'"
"Obama wrapped up his gym excursion a little after 8:30 a.m. The basketball guest list included: Marty Nesbitt, Eric Whitaker, Denis McDonough, Bill Burton, Reggie Love, Pete Newell, Grant Campbell and Ben Finkenbinder. They played at least a couple of games. No word yet on the score.
Obama's motorcade left for Kailua at 8:33 a.m. then left the vacation home at 11 a.m., having to slow down on the way back to Marine Corps Base Hawaii "to avoid hitting a dog that was wandering between the cars."
"Apparently he and the family are going to the beach here on the base. But we won't see him/them. The beach is not open to the public today — apparently it is usually open to the public on Sundays but has been closed for POTUS (President Of The United States).
"Friends and family are assumed to be in attendance, along with some staff."
The list, ping
We are all wandering aimlessly through life waiting on ‘dear leader’ to ‘guide’ us. /s
In a few days??? What’s the rush?
I have also observed in the ABC news releases the emphasis on Hawaii being Obies “native state” or the place where “he grew up” etc. Are they a little sensitive about the BC?
Please resign (immediately) as POTUS, stay in Hawaii, keep your “cabinet” with you and never, ever set foot on the Mainland U.S. again. Please, please just lead a private life and never speak to the MSM again. Oh, demand that Jimmah Carter and all Congressional Commie Libs permanently join you there.
To All FReepers: I can dream can't I?
What’s the problem? I’m sure a tele-prompter and camera can be golf-carted to his highness.
I’d willingly kick in money to kick him permanently on vacation. Not resign...just stay unavailable. Until a change can be made election day.
I don’t care what you have to say, Barky, and I won’t be watching.

Which leads to the question why? Axelrod is not stupid. Obama's big donors are not stupid. Why are they creating this impression of him? It would be very easy for them to have him hunker down in D.C., make a big point of being a man of the people, sharing their pain and so on and so on...
He and TOTUS can make a flying leap to Davy Jones Locker, for all I care.
Wonder if he'll give a shout out before saying anything about the incident. We can't jump to conclusions, you know.
He just wants to eat his waffle....play golf....shoot baskets....or whatever.
No time for the actual business of being CiC.
He’ll probably have to come out and make a speech since his DHS Sec stepped on her d*** this morning.
anyone posted the latest from DHS yet?
Statement by Department of Homeland Security Press Secretary Sara Kuban

Release Date: December 27, 2009
For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010
“A passenger on today’s Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit spent an unusually long time in the aircraft lavatory. Due to this unusual behavior, the airline notified TSA and the agency directed the flight to taxi to a remote area upon landing to be met by law enforcement and DHS. The passenger in question, a Nigerian national, was removed from the flight and interviewed by the FBI; indications at this time are that the individual’s behavior is due to legitimate illness, and no other suspicious behavior or materials have been found. Though this does not appear at this time to be a security incident, in an abundance of caution, the aircraft was fully screened, with negative results, and all baggage is being rescreened before the aircraft taxis to the gate.”
I can predict what he’ll say: “Everything has changed...”
“I’ll alert the media.”
White House sources tell ABC News the President will “likely” speak publicly about the alleged attempted terrorist attack on Flight 253 in the next few days.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Bets, anyone, that his speech will be at 5 p.m. just in time to interrupt Glen Beck’s show? ( Just wondering.)
Barry is not interested in telling the American people anything.
