An Unserious Presidency On View
IBD Editorials ^ | July 28, 2010 | Investors Business Daily staff

Posted on 07/28/2010 6:19:41 PM PDT by Kaslin

Leadership: As Americans suffer economically, President Obama golfs, vacations, campaigns, appears on a frivolous talk show — and vacations some more. Gee, don't we have a war and other problems to attend to?

Will history record that Barack Obama's only great achievement as president was getting his golf handicap down to the teens? The president played more than two dozen rounds of golf in his first year in office — as many as George W. Bush did over his entire eight years.

This week, he traveled to New York City to be swooned at on ABC's daytime gal fluff-fest "The View." It led Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell to remark, "I think there should be a little bit of dignity to the presidency... I think the president of the United States has to go on serious shows."

The city's Transit Authority warned that between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. at least 32 bus lines in Manhattan and the Bronx "could be either severely delayed or detoured" as a result of the president's trip.

And while tying up traffic in the Big Apple, the president also headlined fundraisers at the Four Seasons Hotel and at a big donor's home. This week has him on for two other moneymaking events for the Democratic National Committee too. He will soon travel to Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Austin for more.

No kidding!
Have you seen the picture from the “View” where he is crossing his legs just like the ladies?
There’s no denying which side he plays on...

He was elected by unserious voters led by a very evil news media.

The Kenyan is at once a perfumed prince and a Marxist ideologue. He is destructive to the Republic in both incarnations.

"He was elected by unserious voters led by a very evil news media."

I guess that is one consolation: if Obama and Co. are successful "fundamentally changing America," we'll get to see the idiot lib media flacks go to the wall first... before we're all shipped off to the gulags.

Is it just me or the camera?-—does not Obama look like a wraithe-—he is losing weight—he is a stick figure. Look at that picture of him crossing his legs on The View. He can barely hold his pants up. Gawd, if I did not know better, I would say he looks like he is wasting away with AIDS.

FWIW, Nixon wasn’t President when he did Laugh-In.

OK, thanks for that-I actually saw it on TV when I was a kid.

My point was, and the article confirmed, he was running for President-a candidate, when he appeared. He wasn’t President.
