The White House likes to use a phrase of tingling adventure to describe the president's recent penchant for wandering the country talking to people: "The bear is loose."
There are three problems with this unbearable metaphor: Barack Obama is not in captivity, he's not a bear and he's not loose. As Voltaire said of the Holy Roman Empire, it was "neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an empire."
When our whippetlike president travels on Air Force One from staged photo-op to staged photo-op and then to coinciding fundraiser to coinciding fundraiser, encased by the White House travel behemoth and press centipede, that's kind of the opposite of breaking loose.
Yet, even as the world is roiling, the president's desk is clean.
The president's odysseys are meant to illustrate that he's still relevant. But do they actually underscore irrelevance by conveying his view that if Republicans in Congress are going to keep blocking him, he may as well go fishin'?

Huh? But, I would hit that and cripple her old man ...
(Fixed)
That’s her? Could be fun,,,,, if I brought along a ball gag!
No, that’s not her.
Fifteen demerits for clumsy mixed-metaphors but five points awarded for actually criticizing Øbongo. I’m sure that will cost her on the party circuit.
No, that is Catherine Zeta Jones.
She “stole” Michael Douglas from Maureen Dowd back in the 1990s when Maureen thought she was a real prize and Mike her man toy. But a better looking gal by far snatched him from her. Dowd has been a bitterly, snarky writer for the Left ever since.
The FReeper standard has ever been when a angry, bitter, dried up bar fly Maureen Dowd article is posted, that someone then post a picture of Catherine to taunt Dowd and make her remember her nemesis.
And she’s (CZJ) good to look at, too.
Actually that's another sign that it's becoming "in" to criticize the ding-a-ling (heard it on Media Buzz).
L$M centipede indeed... 
Him no have Oval Orfice Abbitat.
Makes no difference to me! I’m old and lonely. A ball gag simplifies communication!
Maureen is look’n HOT!
Saggy boobs.
A pile of dried of dried up dog shiite on the lawn would be a better pic of Dowd.........
nothing good will come of that
LOL... that was sure enough about the most bizzzarre movie i've ever seen!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
