Stressed Out President Obama Turning to drink? (orders 3 beers before 9:30am)
American Thinker Magazine ^ | March 30, 2015 | By Thomas Lifson

Posted on 03/30/2015 2:24:46 PM PDT by drewh

When the news broke Saturday from the White House press pool report accompanying President Obama on his golf outing in the midst of world crisis, I filed it away for possible future developments:

On a sunny and beautiful, if chilly morning, the president left the White House residence at 9:30am, wearing a light blue button-up shirt with no tie, a navy blazer and khaki slacks. He waved to the pool but didn’t respond to your pooler’s shouted question about the new Indiana religious freedom law. The president got into Marine One . . . The helicopter was wheels-up to Joint Base Andrews at 9:34am. Handing over now to the travel pool . . .

Marine One touched down at Joint Base Andrews at 9:41 a.m. POTUS bounded down the steps at 9:45. We’re headed for warmer climes. Up the AF1 steps moments later. You can tell this is a non-work trip (because) someone forward of the press cabin ordered 3 beers at 9:26 am.

Hmm, that’s pretty early to be hitting the sauce. Of course, we don’t know who ordered the beers. I suppose it is faintly possible that some underling didn’t mind drinking in front of the president as the day began.

But then yesterday:

The Commander-in-Chief, returning from a Florida trip where he played golf with wealthy donors, nearly took a tumble when exiting Air Force One on Sunday.

He gave a wave to media before stumbling for a second and resuming his trot down to the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington.

Still no conclusive proof of anything. Gerald Ford stumbled getting off Air Force One (and was endlessly mocked for it). Still, as the world careens out of control, it is not comforting.

Yes I remember that coming from the Dr who performed the first year physical. For a Dr to actually document that he needed to cut back said so much to me!

If I had to meet with Biden, I’d want to be belligerently drunk!

Hey! Give him a break! He’s on call 24 by 7.

He is the 911 operator to the world.

‘Cept when he’s golfing.

Then he’s Commander of the Course.

At the helm of GOlfCart One.

His true calling.

He is coming to Louisville. I wonder if he is planning on hitting the “ Bourbon Trail”?

Also recommended: “periodic dental care.”

Apparently the pig doesn’t get his teeth cleaned.

I’ve been waiting for years for that arrogant POS to fall down those stairs. He refuses to use the handrail because he wants to look cool skipping and hopping down the stairs. I had to watch the video several times just for fun. I guess I’ll have to wait some more for the day he makes the complete tumble. The odds are against him.

I have a question though. I’ve wondered if the military saluting at the bottom of the stairs would have to keep standing there saluting or if they would help him up? Or would they be biting their cheeks to keep themselves from laughing? Would the video of the tumble be banned?

He's a "cafeteria moslem"...he just picks the parts he likes, like hating Jews and blowing thing up. He avoids most of the taboos.

I woke up this morning and found both cars gone.
I threw my beer right across the lawn.


I've been mulling that one over...

During Watergate, there were lots of rumors that Nixon was drinking immoderately.
