President Obama made a victory lap with schoolchildren from Colorado on Monday after avoiding a government shutdown.

Obama spend several minutes talking about policy and education with the students.

Obama mentioned them in an address he made shortly after the budget agreement that prevented a government shutdown.

Obama thinks he's some kind of a hero?? What a jerk!!!

Did he remind the kids that "And you know all those babies that are killed through Planned Parenthood...Well, I'm trying to make sure that the killing never stops.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

Obama now brags about how he cut spending.

My head is exploding!

The Republican PR machine must be run by...Elmer Fudd.

Well, at least that’s better than a victory lap with Bill Clinton. We all know what they’d be celebrating if Bubba ran the track with little girls.

WOW....just put you little kids in debt inperpetuity.....but, hey, being slaves won’t be so bad...

a victory lap with kids, his true peers..

the irony, all of them will be paying for his largesse for decades , ..

No, make that, generations.

Didn't see it but heard an audio of his remarks and I'm betting he spoke extemporaneously cuz he was (what he always is absent his trusty "prompter") his usual, stumbling, bumbling, "Duh" self!

What a fraud! What a phony. What an 1st Class A-Hole.

Pretty bad when one (almost) wishes for the good ol' days of Jimmah (now the Second Worst President Ever) Carter.

This. It always boggles my mind to see young people support this clown. He is absolutely destroying the financial future of our younger generations.

He is campaigning. Believe me.

Obama to kids: “I’m great, aren’t I?”

How creepy is this. A parent (supposedly) emailed the president concerned that a gov. shutdown would cancel her kid’s class trip. They call her to tell her he is going to mention her email in a speech.

Then the kids get to D.C. and he tracks them down for this photo op.

He’s a stalker, IMO

What a fruit.

I couldn't find the picture from Ben Hur I wanted, with the charioteer being dragged by his horses long after his chariot has been destroyed, so here's a different Obama victory lap picture.
