Obama: ‘I Spend Most of My Time Watching ESPN in the Morning’
Free Beacon ^ | December 12, 2014

Posted on 12/12/2014 11:55:32 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia

While on ESPN radio with Colin Cowherd, President Obama admitted that he gets a little overwhelmed by politics in the morning and looks to a different kind of news channel.

“Listen, I spend most of my time watching ESPN in the morning,” Obama said. “I get so much politics I don’t, you know, want to be inundated with a bunch of chatter about politics during the day.”

He could get a management job at public television network that I spent a decade or so at. They could always find some ball game on an open feed or hog bandwidth streaming ESPN to their PCs.

I am sure that Vladimir Putin and the mad mullahs in Iran are interested in hearing this. I am not being sarcastic.

Intellectually lazy, unserious, and incurious.

Ann Compton of ABC said last week that no one knows what Obama does for most of the daytime hours.

Somebody should tell the President about a new channel called CARTOON NETWORK! He’ll be lovin it! Perfect babysitting tool for Valery.

He won’t be in demand for speaking engagements, like the Clintons. Being a lame duck will not help his legacy.

Obama said. I get so much politics I don’t, you know, want to be inundated with a bunch of chatter about politics during the day.

Think about that. As leader of the free world, his job is to consider policy, listen to both sides, and do what is best for the nation.

Here he admits he doesn't want to listen to clatter. Clatter here, is policy considerations.

This butt-head is just what I have described him to be.

He is a nine year old child that thinks being president allows him to sit back and screw around, do anything he wants. Work? Help guide the nation over the shoals?

No, he can't be bothered with that stuff. He has to attend to important matters on ESPN.

Truth be old he's probably watching a lot of children's early morning cartoons too.

Has anyone seen him sporting a lunch box around the White House?

This man is too stupid to even protect himself from the idiotic revealing comment off the cuff.

Dumb doesn't begin to describe this guy.

Presidents before him read the daily intelligence briefing first thing in the day.

The current one watches sports. No wonder the world is burning.

Obama: ‘I Spend Most of My Time Watching ESPN in the Morning’ and playing golf the rest of the day.

Does he watch ESPN in the golf cart?

I’ll bet he does as little as possible. He probably scrambles and tries to put out fires for the most part....unless, of course, he’s busy starting the fires.

I think we’d all be horrified if we could be a fly on his shoulder all day, every day.

He likes Downton Abbey. He likes discussing it with Jarrett so I’ve read.

Aren’t intelligence briefings held in the morning?

Looks like he’s got day and night covered. I guess he’d be happy watching TV 24 hours a day with a few hours set aside for golf.

Well, I guess they shouldn’t have held all those national security briefings in the morning. Had they scheduled them around 11 Obama might have shown up.

I’d like to see this criminal malignancy doing what he does in a Fed SuperMax cell.

“Listen, I spend most of my time watching ESPN in the morning,”

Fixed it for the truth.
