Amid Foreign and Domestic Crises, Obama Plans to Fundraise and Golf This Weekend

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.

Looks like a propaganda photo op to make people believe commies really play golf.

He made a stop in North Dakota to visit the Native Americans.

Was Lizzie Warren there to greet him?

You got it.

I was just thinking that this Admin instigated this WAR in Iraq by giving Muslim Brotherhood weapons and help, and before it’s over we will find out other things that helped this CFR war get going....just so the Pres could deny troops on ground in Iraq, and get people to vote for the left on premise ....”Dems not going to get us into war and keep out warmonger Repubs, and let other countries take care of themselves. Hillary hit those talking points this week.

Just my thoughts. If so it will backfire big time.

The US would be far better off with NO president than this flop. He has no redeeming social value except to the 33% in this society, who are also failures.

Who thinks that this is a good time for Obama to leave and go golfing and fundraising? Anyone?

Then why the hell is he doing it?

No sane human being thinks this is a good move on his part. Yet, off he goes. Nope. This is really bad.

Shouldn’t the “FAMILY MAN” (Clown Prince nobama) spend Fathers’ Day with his grifter, loser family, instead of on the links and fund-raising? What a loser. I bet his children are mentally ill over the neglect of this buffoon.

As the world burns: It’s 3AM and the phone rings. Obozo is in California playing golf. The Secretary of State is in London doing a poetry reading. Who answers the phone? Biden, if he’s sober? Heaven help us all.
