Like I wrote, the optics of this are not pretty.

A serious conversation would require a more serious grip of the phone. You can't fake body language. Great job, Kristinn.
Axelrod isn't stupid. He knows this is hurting Obama. So why does he let it continue? Why wasn't the usual PR campaign used? Not as if they haven't had one for years.
Doin' thangs the Chicago Way.
Well written, Kristinn. I enjoyed the article all the way through.
“What is on the White House Web site’s front page for the third day in a row is the White House ‘photo of the day’ that features an empty Oval Office save for a cleaning woman running a vacuum in front of the president’s vacated desk. A more telling image could not be presented to the public of an absent leader, yet that is the message Team Obama has conveyed to the world for the past three days.”
LOL, we were discussing the bad Michele picture, now I really am starting to think whoever is picking these shots is a republican mole!
They cannot protect... The Image of The Beast
Was he even talking to anyone in #3?
I imagine his team just telling him to have a seat, hold the phone and don his serious face for a moment while they snap some photos.
President Barack Obama meets with National Security Staff chief of staff Denis McDonough about updates concerning the attempted terrorist attack of an airliner on Christmas Day. This briefing occurred Dec. 29, 2009, in Kailua, Hawaii. The President has received updates throughout his vacation since the incident. (Official White House photo by Pete Souza)
This picture speaks volumes to me. Over sized Polo shirt unbuttoned, hands up in the air, look of frustration
The man is clearly over his head.
Narcissist over their heads are extremely dangerous personalities. They tend to strike out at their perceived enemies, unfortunately we are Obama enemies. We stand in his way to complete his Marxist agenda.
I'm sure the reason what he took so long to address the Christmas day attack was he just wished it went away. After all he IS on vacation
If all this information wasn’t so scary, it would be funny. These pictures, boys and girls, are those of the President of The United States, the leader of the free world! He’s clearly in a job far above his intellegence and understanding. I truly fear for us all.
What????? No bowling?
Would love to see who swims for him when he is snorkeling! I heard that he can't swim?
This was a good article. The part of this that is bothering me is the “clothes” thing. I’m not of the generation that wore a suit to Church every Sunday. Heck, I wear casual clothes now to work rather than the suit I wore ten years ago.
But for Obama, he’s always dressed way too casual. Regardless of whether he’s on vacation or at some function. It tells me he either doesn’t care about the “little things” or his value system is so “anti-establishment” that he refuses to conform to prior US society and dress code for a President.
We may be a more casual society, but we don’t want out President to be such.
“Wearing an open collar shirt, Obama looked like a man who showed up at a formal club without the required attire and was forced to don the club jacket hanging in the closet to get in.
Obama also seemed painfully uncomfortable without his TelePrompter security blanket. He struggled with the text at times and reflexively swiveled his head from side-to-side even as he stared down at the the printed remarks laid out on the podium before him.
That Obama went golfing right after he told the American people he “will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable” undermined whatever seriousness of purpose the administration was trying to convey.”
Oh, this is wicked good stuff.
When the going gets tough, the tough go golfing!
Maybe Axelrod followed the safari trail to Kenya, the trail laid by Comrade Rahm-bo last December. Now there’s a guy who knows how to keep his vacation a secret.
Great catch on the vacant office!
Maybe this whole Obama-Drama propaganda team needs a refresher course! ********
bump!
That looks like a Kirby vacuum cleaner.
A local has put together a summary of Barry’s Island Frolic.
http://armchairhawaii.com/obama_hawaii/obama-christmas-2009/index.html
It’s not complete- it left out Barry’s bizarre Chinese Fire Drill at the Luana Hills Country Club on Tuesday.
And neglects to note that Reggie Love is usually part of Barry’s twosome.
Brian Williams made a fool of himself doing the bidding of the White House last night ,
pretending Barry spent most of his vacation working on national security.

WILLIAMS : “ ..we’re told the he played a few rounds of golf some tennis with his wife, but, mostly it’s been a working vacation ..”
