The ban on Twitter posts from the dinner is especially noteworthy considering this is by order of the ‘free press.’

Why would they ban Twitter?
Wouldn’t all the tweets from MSM basically just be kissing Baraq’s @ss?

He probably recorded it last week, or last month. He probably does a whole month’s worth of Saturday chats at the same time. This is a man who is not serious about his job, to say the least.

obama’s job is just to be a mouthpiece for his community organizers.

On Saturday Mr. Obama had golfed so long that he had left himself just over an hour to return to the White House and change into the required white-tie tuxedo. But he dismissed criticisms that he is “spending” too much time on the links. “I’m ‘investing’ time on the golf course,” he said — ribbing the rhetoric of his “Win the Future” campaign for more money for education, infrastructure and research programs.
(Oh, stop it! My side hurts. NOT!)
