Obama pays Sunday visit to CEO (Comcast)
Politico ^ | 8-22-11 | Glenn Thrush

Posted on 08/22/2011 5:17:45 PM PDT by dynachrome

The presidential motorcade on Martha's Vineyard peeled out of Blue Heron Farms at 5:15 p.m. with the president and Valerie Jarrett in tow.

After 10 minutes, we made an abrupt left turn on John Cottle Road — an unpaved, deeply rutted eight-foot-wide private path hemmed in by ivy, scrub oak and big, scary boulders.

After bottoming out four times — we're talking two-foot holes in a sand-and-gravel road, along with one hairpin turn — Obama and Jarrett arrived at the West Tisbury home of their friends Brian and Aileen Roberts, spokesman Josh Earnest informs us. It was 5:30 p.m.

Roberts is chairman and CEO of Comcast.

"hemmed in by.....big, scary boulders." A phenomenon most metrosexuals in the leftist media have no experience with.

One of Obama's shovel ready road projects?

Comcast recently announced that they will offer $9.95 Internet service to the “underprivileged,” as well as low-cost computers. The link says it all, if your kid gets a free lunch then you get $10 Internet service.

“Visualize what the State-Run Media would have said had George Bush gone to visit with Rupert Murdoch.”

I can see the words “FASCIST!”, “NAZI!”, and GOEBBELLS!” already on the Daily Kos, HuffPo, and TPM front pages

Notice in the post of campaign donations given (opensecrets.org) none of them went to Obama. They went for Hillary in 2008.
