Sounds like he is reporting the news. What a buffoon.

Seriously. And notice how no one is even commenting on this thread. No one gives a shit what he has to say. Heh.

You may not look upon the vacationing One. It can be fatally candescent to mortals.

President Barack Obama released a statement late Sunday calling on the dictator to “relinquish power once and for all.”

“Tonight, the momentum against the Gadhafi regime has reached a tipping point. Tripoli is slipping from the grasp of a tyrant. The Gadhafi regime is showing signs of collapsing. The people of Libya are showing that the universal pursuit of dignity and freedom is far stronger than the iron fist of a dictator,” said Obama in the statement.

“The surest way for the bloodshed to end is simple: Moammar Gadhafi and his regime need to recognize that their rule has come to an end,” he continued. “A season of conflict must lead to one of peace.”

The White House was anxiously monitoring the developments from Obama’s vacation residence on Martha’s Vineyard, where he has been getting frequent updates in between golf games and social outings.

Obama has two insiders in the White House that are members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

They played the audio of him reading a statement, while showing a still pic of him sitting in a chair with a scowl on his face.

So lame.

That’s why folks aren’t that worked up about Qaddafi being overthrown. I’m happy the murderer of Americans is out of power, but what replaces him will likely be worse.

From the article

-- snip --

Savannah Guthrie on Meet the Press asked Gibbs to comment on the "images of [Obama] vacationing at a time when people are hurting." Gibbs offered this response:

The truth is, again, as you well know and as I well know, there--the presidency goes with you wherever you go.

-- snip --

This might have been true with every president prior to this resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Unlike President Bush who always worked when he was on his Ranch, or at Camp David. The lazy arrogant pos just plays golf or eats ice cream

Hey, that's just what Usama used to do! Is Obama hiding too?
