MSNBC: Obama Needs More R&R; Americans Uneasy Over Economy Because We're 'Instant Gratification
NewsBusters ^ | 10/25/10 | Ken Shepherd

Posted on 10/25/2010 7:43:51 PM PDT by Nachum

In a segment shortly after 3 p.m. EDT today looking at how much President Obama has aged in the two years since winning the presidential election, MSNBC's Thomas Roberts and guest Douglas Brinkley concluded that the commander-in-chief needs to take it easy more often. The MSNBC host and the liberal presidential historian also blamed the amount of stress President Obama faces in office on unrealistic expectations Americans may have about his handling of the economy (emphases mine): DOUGLAS BRINKLEY: The stress factor gets so high on these

How is it everyone else missed this insight - the problem is Obama hasn’t been taking enough vacations!

Quick, somebody call in a tee time for the lad - another 18 holes, and we’ll be on the road to full employment!

It’s more like Hussein needs instant gratification.

Obama promised “PIE!” for everyone, And magic unicorns that urinated free gas and crapped mortgage checks for the blacks.

He was going to lower the rise of the oceans, he was going to heal all the ills of the planet, Hopey!, Changey, and all that crap.

He was sold as the Second Coming, the Democrat Messiah, capable of no wrong, sent to us to atone for the sins of George Bush!.

IN SHORT, they over-promised, and have under-delievered, a fatal condition for any brand, and that is EXACTLY what Obama was sold as, a brand, not a man.

Now someone is trying to tell us that Vacation Man needs a nap?
PUH-lease...
You knew it was a tough job when you took it.

Barry had five luxury vacations over the spring/summer, spent a month on a teleprompter tour and now is planning another five star luxury vacation in India next month so I don’t know much more R&R for Barry the taxpayer’s can afford.

From the article, as stated by Brinkley:

“He [Obama} knows the truth about climate change.”

Umhh - the details of climate change are so complex that even folks with multiple PhD’s don’t know the truth about climate change - and the really good ones realize that since the climate is a chaotic system, no one *can* know the truth about climate change.

Obama’s problem is much more fundamental: he doesn’t know sh*t about anything consequential (his understanding of the economy apparently is that it’s a lot like driving cars out of ditches), so he sure as hell doesn’t know squat about something complex like the climate.

Nor does Brinkley, which makes this article a waste of time to the second power. (But thanks for posting it - it always helps to see the delusions of th left on display).

This is an old story or it seems that this is the narrative that the left is sticking with. I believe one of the MSLSD dopes drops this elitist crap to explain Obummers failures.

Brinkley is a moronic hippie ass-kisser.

Obama looks older because he’s no longer dyeing his hair black.

Next.

I may get flamed on this, but I think the author has a point. Obama is definitely aging rapidly, for whatever reason.

A vacation won't cure him, though, because he must ever return to work and face the same problems he ran away from in the first place. What he needs is a PERMANENT vacation (for his own good, of course)

He has all of these pressures on him that are even worse than we're getting fed in the news industry.

Does Obamadinahjad ever work? All he does is play golf and shoot hoops with rappers.

It's a problem.

He was once seen in the Oval Office. That's just too much.
