Wish I could photo-shop it in there for him.

Tuesday morning, a peculiar announcement trickled out of the White House press office: President Barack Obama would be holding a moment of silence for the victims of the Boston bombings. At the White House. By himself. No press or other intruders allowed.
Except the White House photographer.
That Obama assumed Americans would want an iconic photo of him privately mourning the victims of the bombings was emblematic of a kind of hubris that has enveloped the president and his White House as the president commences his second term.
Hubris in a leader is an obnoxious thing, leading to imperiousness in governing. And it’s also a dangerous thing for a second-term president, often spelling trouble.
Unfortunately, this president’s acts of high handedness and self-absorption have been accumulating in the past months at a blistering pace.
Even as the nation’s workers wilted under a struggling economy and high unemployment, Obama decided to take two round excursions to Hawaii at taxpayer expense over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Just six weeks later, he jetted down to Florida for a luxury four-day golf vacation where he played with Tiger Woods. Meanwhile Michelle Obama took another vacation, skiing in Colorado.
Even as the sequester began to force those who work for him in the federal government to take furloughs and government services were scaled back – including, the White House tours – Obama stepped up his golf, roaring out of the White House in his motorcade three Saturdays in a row for the 50-minute round trip drive to the Joint Base Andrews course.
On Saturday night, he’ll be partying with journalists and their celebrity guests at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association bash.
All while the nation continues to suffer under his stewardship of the economy

How many endless hours does he stand watching himself in a mirror while practicing delivering a speech to promote himself and his misguided agenda to a gullible nation?
There is no god but the Chosen One Barack Hussein Obama, Moochelle is his wife and Biden is his anointed Vice President.
How many endless hours practicing?
None.
He doesn’t believe he needs practice.
Wish I could photo-shop it in there for him.
Lends to a new definition of “POTUS”, with the “P” standing for a word that starts with “P” and ending with “k”.
A moment of silence by oneself should be just THAT by oneself.
It would be different if an event was scheduled and he said let’s start with a moment of silence.
What a jerk - must be interesting to believe that you are the be all and end all and are even smarter, more articulate and better in all ways than everyone including God.
I do not envy this man when his moment at the pearly gates arrives.
Obama is a vile and dangerous narcissist.
I saw that pic posted here on FR a few days ago; should have saved it, darnit.
Everything... EVERYTHING he does is all about burnishing his cult of personality.
It’s been done.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a link.
It may have been a mistake, but to put it on par with the intern-diddling of The Bent One is ridiculous.
That is without doubt the most stupid thing a President has ever done.
Who wants a picture of this azzhole pretending to care about people killed by Muslims.I am surprised he isn’t dancing in the streets and handing out candy.
What an arrogant putz.
My husband met someone who had a brother whose job it was to ride on the plane with the presidents - both Bush and oboma. He's retired now, so he can speak freely.
According to -I'll call him "Joe" - oboma is dumber than a box of rocks. Joe said oboma was extremely superficial. It's easy to see everything he pretends to be is fake. According to Joe, oboma has the brain of a Chicago criminal, and isn't afraid to break all the rules just like any other low life criminal. oboma is trashy and a fraud.
He said Bush was extremely intelligent, and had a lot of class. He used the democrats "dumb" image to his advantage. He played along, because if he'd been an arrogant SOB, he never would have been able to do the things he did. People didn't fear him, so he was able to connect with them better.
“Are you not entertained?”
Thats my first thought reading this.
How DARE they criticize Our Glorious Leader?
Someone needs to spend some time in a re-education camp.
Was he on the floor on a prayer mat facing toward Mecca?
Nah..it’s not lyrical, alliterative enough..may I sugeest instead Putz OTUS
Buckwheat wants to be worshipped at the Brandenburger Gate with thousands of Nazis goosestepping in his honor.
The problem with Buckwheat is that he’s not sure what country or century he lives in.
Seig heil, obuma. Pick out a lamppost.
> Looks to me like he’s taking a leak on the carpet...
He has to sit down to do that.
