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

Thanks!
Perfect! (The one I saw wasn’t animated, but you are a genius!)
I call him the Parasite of the US -x parasite as defined 2. a person who habitually takes advantage of the generosity of others without making any useful return and 4. A sycophant (Old french - a person who continually eats at the expense of another.) Definition 2 fits Obama right to the O b a m a .
Photo of a minaret on the wall?
Now to somehow get a copy of the Constitution on the floor as his target...
The emperor has no clothes, nor does he care! He sees himself as God Almighty! Heaven knows he’s been told that so much that sooner or later he’d believe it...more than happy to, in fact!
He is trying to imitate the look that Palin had at the Beck event last year.
Someone please post that picture.
Scroll all the way down to nearly the bottom.
Note the differences not in just the painting, but sculpture as well.
Is that the bust that got returned to the United Kingdom?
Before Obama moved into the White House January 20, 2009 the two oil paintings that were to the right and left of the president’s desk on the wall were removed and two new frames were hung in their place. In the photo below you can see the two new/different wall hangings. The one on the left is a Clinton era Childe Hassam painting titled Fifth Avenue in the Rain the one on the right is a photo of the arm of The Statue of Liberty holding the torch.

“Obama is a vile and dangerous narcissist.”
He is indeed.
