So O hates his job?

"The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff. . . I'm like, 'C'mon guys, I'm the president of the United States. Where's the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up?' It doesn't happen." -- President Obama

The list of people I feel sorry for is long. It includes not just all of the people I know personally who are suffering from one misfortune or another, but the billions around the world who're having a rougher time than they ought: Japanese earthquake victims, targets of ethnic cleansing, etc. Then there's the supplemental list, which includes everyone from fans of "Lost" who were ripped off by the series finale to the guy in the middle seat on a long flight. But one guy who doesn't make the list is Barack Obama.

Yet the president seems eager for people to know he feels aggrieved. All of sudden, he's had a few "hot mic" incidents in which he "accidentally" vented his displeasure about various alleged insults. His staff let it be known that the president feels the head of China's one-party authoritarian regime has it better than him, because no one second-guesses Hu Jintao.

"I just miss -- I miss being anonymous," he told some magazine executives recently. "I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls . . . taking walks. I can't take a walk." He says the reason he plays so much golf is that it's the only way he can get away from the "bubble" he's in.

None of this is entirely new. The president has always had a gift for self-pity. And blame-shifting. "It's Bush's fault" could be the subtitle of his presidency.

Obama Schedule || Friday, April 22, 2011

by Keith Koffler on April 21, 2011, 9:45 pm

8:55 am PDT || Departs Los Angeles
4:15 pm EDT || Arrives Andrews Air Force Base

OK, there’s something very suspicious going on here. The White House has released an arrival time for Andrews Air Force Base, but none for the White House. Which suggests the president may be spending an undetermined amount of time at Andrews. Which has A GOLF COURSE that he often uses.

Let me start putting the pieces together here . . .

"The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff. . . I'm like, 'C'mon guys, I'm the president of the United States. Where's the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up?' "

Never mind the trivialities of his topic, the juvenile level of his discourse is stunning. And this is tidied up. I'm sure he actually said "gonna" rather than "going to". How far we've descended to have the President speaking like a 14 year old Valley Girl. Some towering intellect...

That liar can’t even be honest about how much golf he plays.

Very sick character.

Well, lets see...his prior work experience was....being a community organizer. No work or responsibility there..... Or, a United States Senator.....nope, no work or responsibility there either. Zero work experience, and then when he gets to be President, he finds its a real job....Aww. Maybe he should have started at the bottom...say, McDonald’s.....

We know we hear it every day.

I do believe that Obama is actively searching for a country to call ‘home’—preferably one without an extradition treaty with the U.S.
