Obama to Disney World to talk up tourism today, but tourists are banned
IBD Editorial ^ | January 19, 2012 | Andrew Malcom

Hey, Mr. President! You've just destroyed the Keystone XL pipeline project and thousands of new union jobs. What are you gonna do now?

"I'm going to Disney World."

No, it's not another Obama vacation. He's flying Air Force One down to Orlando this morning on business.

His people say the Democrat has some new ideas on how to increase tourism to Florida and probably the entire 57 states. Naturally, this requires another Obama speech.

And what better place for a campaigning president to go lecture needlessly on improving tourism than the iconic institution that figured it all out decades ago, Walt Disney Resorts?

But here's the problem with Obama going to Disney's Main Street: They have to halt all tourism there for him to be seen encouraging more tourism, close the whole place down to tourists for much of the day while he's there and before. Even Disney employees are being barred.

So, Main Street won't look anything like the photo above. And the thousands of existing tourists who expected to spend a valuable vacation day strolling the old-fashioned shops for fudge and Mickey ears, riding the steam-powered cars and horse-drawn streetcars and getting a photo with the real Snow White today are just plum out of luck, like Grumpy.

Ain’t he a beaut? Wonder if he was driven there in his mortician’s bus he had made in Canada . . . and maybe he and his adorable and glam wife (cough!) . . . did they dine on Chinese food?

What a creep! I’ll bet Disney World was thrilled to have this moron drop by

Net loss for Disney in the Millions. Net loss for employees? Well, they aren’t paid very well anyway.

Let's be honest. They are keeping the tourists out because all the kids would run up to Obummer thinking he is Mickey Mouse with those big ears.

If Obama gets another term I and many other people in my generation may not be able to get jobs, so we will not be able to afford a family, Disneyworld won’t mean crap.

So if you’re a family that saved the money and planned to go there for a long time you’re out of luck?

I just want to know which “genius” in his administration thought this was a good idea. The only thing that would be better is if they held “gay day” at the same time. Disney will never get a penny from me. Maybe he can make his State of the Union address at Fantasy Island! Good God, I just woke up in “Bizzaro Land”.

He may have lobes, but I'll bet his wife doesn't chew his food for him.

Obama doesn't truck with the rank and file but it rhymes with truck.

Your tax dollars at work.

Made my drive today much more difficult with all the roads closed for the messiahs personal use.

Disney losing a couple million today should be investigated as a campaign contribution that was not to a PAC. Am I right?

Disneycorp is firmly in the tank for Dear Leader and the Demonrat Party.

This is yet another Obama moment. Further wreck the economy, then to Disney World (all to himself) for another vay-cay!

Each time, he’s saying: “Amerikkka, I’m gonna put you in yo place, and get in yo face!” His arrogance knows no bounds. I don’t even think Andrew Jackson was this arrogant, or even LBJ.

You are correct and also ABC being the parent company is also implicated.

Disney used to be a family favorite vacation in Orlando every other year.

I point out, USED to be.

Any business in bed with the Obama regime has been in my blacklist book.

I heard that the maintenance guys kept trying to put BO back on the Dumbo ride. They thought one of the cars had come loose.

Can you imagine how many parents had to explain this to 3 year olds? Traffic must have been insane.

Seriously - WTF is wrong with this guy?

Any time anyone looks to build the narcisist case - THIS is the prime example.

Great photo op for his adversaries - though. if I were running against him - it would be a poster behind me everytime - empty Main St, jilted unhappy customers, controlled access TO A PARK THEY PAID FOR - essentially - stealing - (this is NOT an act of nature).

All - with a nice fairy princess castle behind him.

I wouldn’t even refer to him as Mr President. I would - constantly - refer to him as “King Obama”.

This is classic immature Obama.

And - the first leftist media jackass to dare question me - I would show a picture of US - 1 - unanounced - flying over NYC for photo op.

My third picture would be Bill Ayers standing on the Flag.

A vast man-made construction which duplicates human psycho-sexual experiences through tension-releasing fantasy mechanisms.
