57 States.. 58 minutes.. 59 Priority #1s..

Coming Up on 60 Minutes tonight.. Obama.. Epic Fail.. ? or Just Misunderstood?

--

btw .. They are finally grinding down the local street ,, hopefully hot asphalt will flow shortly as part of the Reach out and Resurface sumthin' Initiative ..

Maybe Obama can come and visit this little project when it's done, there's 3 golf course within 10 minutes..

This street has been a bumpy ride for a long time.. much like his administration.. can't wait for the steamrollers to show up.

No mention on how many rounds of golf he played during the week and how long it took?

[erkyl]

I’m sure he had some sporting event to get to.

SO.
VERY.
GAY.

[Bryan24]

It’s my understanding that many on the construction crew lost a day’s wage on this trip. Could be wrong about that.

[Vince Ferrer]

At least he didn’t fly there to give a speech about conservation.

[Red_Devil 232]

He went to a baseball game between the White Sox and Nationals.

[DaGman]

If true, I wonder why the contractor didn’t pay his crew. He’s got a fat juicy government contract. He was more than willing and happy to take that so-called stimulus money.

[jazusamo]

They should buy him a two seat crop duster for these short hops.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep, he’s such a big Sox fan. Ya right.

He said he remembers going to “COMINSKY PARK”, pronouncing it with an “N”, when every real fan knows it was “COMISKEY PARK”, with no “N” in it.

The same guy who mispronounced the military term “corpsman” by pronouncing the “S” when anybody who knows anything knows that the “s” is silent.

I cringe at the thought that someday he will give a speech about the Marine Corps, and he will read the teleprompter and pronounce it “Corpse”.

Of course as a good Democrat, he can’t get the Dan Quayle treatment for this sort of thing. We’re supposed to ignore it.

Those 13 minutes cost the Taxpayers almost $1 million dollars to pay for the trip, security etc. Talk about executive excess!!

[Saltmeat]

The trip was just another campaign jaunt with a teleprompter speech. It gives him another opportunity to display what he does best which is campaign—making promises which turn out to be lies. Also, the trip only cost us taxpayers half a million ($500,000) dollars. All of it borrowed on the credit card that is beyond maxed-out.

Someone please tell me how to explain this expenditure to my grandchildren. They will have to pay for it.

The man just cannot stay in the oval office and govern because he doesn't know how, and he has surrounded himself with staff and advisers of a like ilk.

[Doc Savage]

How the hell does this lying libtard bitch not kill herself out of sheer shame and disgrace? To write this pap, this ass-kissing crap day-in and day-out all to curry favor with her libtard massa’s must be mind-bending. Kendra Marr. Please see a psychiatrist for help immediately. You are one sick puppy!

Of the 57 comments following the article on Politico, I found only one that didn’t criticize and ridicule Obama. The comment section read just like here, Big Government or American Thinker.

Is Politico a right-leaning site or has the tide completely reversed?

According to guys interviewed yesterday they all lost a day’s pay so the King could come to town.

[kabar]

The trip Columbus probably cost taxpayers between $500,000 and $1 million. Air Force One alone bills out at $100,000 per hour, and the round trip is nearly two hours. Adding to the cost are military aircraft to carry limos and secret service vehicles, Marine One on standby, Secret Service, local police and other factors.

Obama's Stimulus Visit Results in Lost Payday for Construction Workers--The workers were told not to report to their construction project at a nearby hospital Friday, because the Secret Service was shutting it down for security reasons. They also were told that they would not get paid for the forced day off.

[downtownconservative]

Is the presidential teleprompter battery operated or did they have to run a generator for what was surely a momentous 13 minute campaign speech?/s

[NormsRevenge]

Is Politico a right-leaning site ..

NO.
