Obama longs to break out of White House bubble

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — It's perhaps appropriate that President Barack Obama is vacationing this weekend in California, where the state flag features a roaming grizzly. The restless president, who has compared himself to a caged animal on recent wanderings by declaring the "bear is loose," took a long Father's Day weekend away with his wife and older daughter.

The visit to the desert resort area of Palm Springs is one of the ways Obama has been trying to escape during his sixth year cloistered in the White House. "I think frankly we've all been through a cold and bitter winter and the bear has cabin fever," said Obama friend and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett. "His cabin is a little bit bigger and harder to escape than most."

Obama has fantasized about being "on a beach somewhere drinking out of a coconut" or simply being able to walk out of the White House gate and stroll around unrecognized. Obama has golfed every weekend since Washington's weather got clear enough to allow it in April, save a week when he was in Asia. Those close to Obama say his frequent golf outings are less about a love of the game than a desire to take a long walk outside. Obama also has been seen walking the darkened White House grounds, late into the evening, sometime with one of his dogs.

The California grizzly was a sub-species. It was known as a “Golden Bear,”now extinct.

Who is his senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett?
So he gets his orders to stay out of the way for the day while she and her fellow vermin take this country down?

baraq did say once that he was going to be just the front guy, the guy with the ideas.

And what is with all the fundraisers? Where is that money going, to himself? To an offshore bank account in the name of some jihadi scum? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Break out? Surely they jest.

Just what I was thinking, who exactly is he raising money for? Is he running for a 3rd term? Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he tries to do that.

Obama "bear" is loose always; Obama wants to know "whose ass to kick".

The 1960s and 70s radicals and their ideological litter occupying the federal government buildings and disrupting government getting more and more snarly and dangerous.

Power to the people! Bring it all down, man!

WHO IS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY??!!!

If you'll look up front in the pilot's cabin you'll find THERE IS NO PILOT and we're flying on AUTO with NO DESTINATION programmed into the auto-pilot computer.

American is in deep need of some real LEADERSHIP.

Obama to WH Guard: "Look at this dog I got for Michelle."

WH Guard to Obama: "Wow Sir, that was an outstanding trade!"

I’ll help pay for his plane fare if he promises never to come back.

Better to talk about meaningless things like this, than Lois Lerners lost emails.
