Amid Foreign and Domestic Crises, Obama Plans to Fundraise and Golf This Weekend
Townhall.com ^ | June 13, 2014 | Leah Barkoukis

The Iraqi government is pleading for help from the U.S. as ISIS militants close in on Baghdad; Syria is still in the grips of war; veterans are dying from long wait times at the VA; and we’ve got a humanitarian crisis going on at the Southwest border.

With all this at the forefront, you’d think the president would work tirelessly to address these problems. Alas, he’ll be doing what he does best this weekend: fundraising and golfing.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama should land at Palm Springs International Airport at about 6 p.m. Friday, straight from a visit to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota.

At approximately 8:30 a.m. Saturday, they’ll jump over to Laguna Beach for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, followed by the commencement address to UC Irvine’s Class of 2014 at Angel Stadium, which wraps up at 1 p.m.

That puts the Obamas back in the desert at about 2 p.m. Saturday. They will stay for Father’s Day, before flying home to Washington, D.C., mid-morning on Monday. It’s unclear if their daughters, Malia and Sasha, will tag along.

What is Obama’s plan here in the Coachella Valley? Presumably a short vacation, and likely a round of golf or two – though the details remain fuzzy.

Priorities.

Yeah, as he said it'll take a few more days to figure out a plan.

If things get much worse, he'll take Mooch and the girls to Hawaii.

Here’s MY plan from several years ago and PROBABLY the one the few remaining sane American citizens — assuming there ARE ANY — may be forced to implement!

NOTICE TO ALL CITIZENS OF IRAQ

Unbelievable, not even going to alter his schedule while the world burns around him. Forget Nero. He’s a piker.

Sounds like a good time for the whole Obama family to go on an ‘all expense paid’ vacation with 50 to 60 close friends.

Don't worry. Valerie Jarret has everything under control back at the White House. Just like she always does.

And who says that all of these so-called 'crisis' are not exactly what Obama and his Globalist Puppetmasters intended all along.

The Obama tradition has always been to celebrate Father’s Day on the links.

The best Fundraiser/Golfer In Chief America has ever seen. He’s “historical”. Also the first, historical recipient of the “Everybody Gets A Nobel” trophy.

Great news about the side trip to N. Dakota. Going to be close to his being on Mt. Rushmore....hopefully at 575kts.

Are you sure he isn’t there fantacizing about his face up there?

I thought he went to persuade them it was better to give up the idea that the ‘Redskins’ was a good name.

I honestly believe he enjoys pulling these blatant in-your-face stunts.

I am convinced those who call the shots do not want this idiot anywhere near a microphone when something big is going down. They’ll run him out to a golf course where no reporters can get near him to ask him any questions. I have a feeling they cringe every time he makes a statement and they’re on needles and pins hoping the teleprompter doesn’t break.

Sheesh, what else is new with this POS...the world is burning down around him and he smiles...

So the aircrews, security folks, etc. in this entourage will be away from home while the “0bama’s celebrate Father’s Day” in the desert.

How thoughtful of him...

Stopping to say hello to a few Indians makes it legal for the fundraising trip to be paid for by the tax payers.
