It’s hard to find the right words for Obama: despicable, disgusting, evil, malignant, bigoted, communist, hateful, narcissistic, . . . there are so many options, but they all fall far short of the reality we have to survive. I’ll go with “double plus ungood” in the spirit of George Orwell, who seems to be Obama’s inspiration.

I could just hear Obambi thinking, "Here, you stupid white guy in that fancy ass uniform, move the umbrella over my head, cracker."

I'll bet this marine would like to have snapped this pipe stem armed sissy-puss's elbow. Just having this horribly anti-American and anti-military scumbag touch me would've enraged me.

This administration shares many hallmarks of previous authoritarian, tyrannical, dictatorships but in a more modernized format.

This is one for the books and if history isn’t rewritten, will be the new model for dictators of tyranny to follow.

Once the walls are down, they never get rebuilt.

MEET YOUR KING AND QUEEN living large at our expense.Obo's endless golf outings/vacays, Mrs O's teeming closets-full of designer dresses, cases w/ diamond jewelry, financing his (gag) legacy, financing her future campaign for elective office, etc.

RICH-HATERS IN THE WH The Ohaha's say they hate the rich---but the O's know how to spend OPM. The family blew $1.4B on travel and entertainment for themselves and their numerous personal staffs last year: that's 2000 times more than what the entire British Royal Family cost the UK ($57.8M)----$27 million bucks a week is only the tip of the iceberg:

White House sources claim Michelle (with a staff of 24) went through $10M of taxpayer money last year on just her own private trips and shopping sprees, with one calling the First Lady's self-indulgent spending orgy -including extravagant massages, top-shelf booze, and five-star hotels 'disgusting'.

NRO tallied what taxpayers are paying for the Ohaha's living in the White House: $1.4 billion per year: Air Force One ($181,757 per hour), executive chef ($100,000 per year), three full-time White House calligraphers ($ 277,050 per year for the trio), chief of staff to the president’s dog ($102,000 per year), Ohaha's royal motorcade ($2.2 million).

==========================================

$1.4 BILLION is the current annual cost of the White House — just in household expenses, not including US policy operations for which the WH exists-- administered by some 900 parasites--- policy staff recruited by Ohaha.

Annually, Ohaha vacations cost $20 million (the low estimate for Ohaha's Hawaii vacay was $4 million, but the true cost is probably five times that); the first family’s yearly health-care costs are $7 million; more than $6 million is spent on the White House grounds each year. Transportation costs were a staggering $346 million last year.

The O' kids were flying aroound to the Bahamas and Sun Valley.....while US kids were shut out of the WH supposedly due to sequestration Secret Service cutbacks. The O's galivanting teen daughter was spotted in NYC last week---with girlfriends---dining at the pricey Buddakan, scoffing up rock shrimp, edamame dumplings, short ribs, lobster fried rice........replete w/ five Secret Service guards dining nearby, while students her age were denied access to the people's house.

====================================

LEARNING TOUR? M/M O pictured w/ partly-shrunken Ivory Coast official 2009.

Malibu home of Ivory Coast dictator's son.

The oil-rich Ivory Coast has one of the worst human rights records in Africa whose rulers are accused of funneling millions of public monies into their own pockets. But now it looks like the son of the dictator---- Teodoro---whose world— comprised yachts, Bugattis, and Michael Jackson memorabilia—could come crashing down, according to Foreign Policy (via Curbed).

Foreign Policy's Ken Silverstein reported that after a four-year investigation into alleged extortion and laundering of $100 million in the US and "theft of public funds, or other corrupt conduct" back at home, the Justice Department has filed notice of a lawsuit involving the possible seizure of Tedoro's California mansion, and other assets.

And French investigators just seized millions of dollars' worth of his sports cars, while the Spanish government is investigating the entire Obiang clan. Teodoro reportedly hasn't spent much time stateside recently, in part thanks to various legal actions against him.

Just a peek inside the insane world of Teodoro---he first came to the U.S. to attend Pepperdine University in Malibu. While tuition cost just $3,400, he managed to blow through $50,000 in the first five months before dropping out. Source: Business insier--LA Weekly.

Teodoro is listed as the owner of this $35 million mansion on the Malibu coast, which he paid for in cash. It was the most expensive home sold in California in 2006, and has a tennis court, swimming pool and 4-hole golf course.

Teodoro's on the government payroll as "minister of agriculture and forestry," and supposedly makes just $5,000 per month. But his Malibu home contains $60,000 worth of rugs, a $58,000 home theater and a $1,734 pair of wine glasses.

Mrs O wore her pricey diamond bangles sat a DNC fund-raiser last Sept, attended by "tolerant and compassionate" Dems....raised big bucks to keep Mr O in office so he could work for "the poor." Her diamond Gothic cuff was priced at $15,350 set with 2.17 carats in diamonds and the Quatrefoil bracelet at $11,800 set with 1.73 carats in diamonds. (Excerpt) Read more at houston.culturemap.com

The phrase "imperial Obamas" keeps coming up. Read on.

Mrs O was roundly criticized for her scary appearance at the Oscars---the star buzz is that those in the seats heaved a collective groan when she appeared. Post-Oscar stories left her out of the reports centered on red carpet apparel---one star's dress was designed by the same designer as Mrs O's dress. But reports ommitted any mention of her or her dress.

LOYAL DEMOCRAT DONNY DEUTSCH WEIGHED IN ON MRS O'S OSCAR BOMB: "As far as I'm concerned, she was an uninvited guest. Now what I mean by that is (as an advert guru), you have to give the consumer, the viewer, the ultimate respect. They tuned in to watch movie stars, to watch movies. And all of a sudden, politics is thrown at them."

"If I want to watch her on Jimmy Fallon, that's okay. But, (the Awards)---that was an intrusion, and I have a feeling that three out of four Americans -- Democrat or Republican -- don't want to see the First ady (there). I think you have to respect your audience enough to not impose her, that's not a moment we're looking for there---the President or the First Lady," Deutsch said on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight."

DONNY CONTINUED: "....the tone of it, it was almost a monarch quality.....an elitist flavor....(replete w/ uniformed military guards). I was watching and going, 'huh?' and I'm a Democrat," Deutsch told host Piers Morgan. "I just thought it was very very tone deaf and I was really surprised they did it," Deutsch concluded.

=========================================================

If this keeps up, pretty soon the self-serving O's will be depicted as the new Juan and Evita (/snix).

One could even say Ohaha's using the "Argentina Strategy." He and his wife see themselves with unlimited power---employing military strongmen to keep the we, the rabble in check---while duping the citizenry into thinking they are "humanitarians.

SOUND FAMILIAR? The Perons bankrupted Argentina, took savage, total power by confiscating money from the rich-----and letting Evita bestow the money on the poor, in numerous well-publicized "acts of charity." Evita traveled around in luxurious designer fashions, furs and lavish jewels; she was infatuated w/ Hollywood.

Reigning movie queen Lana Turner saw Evita adopt her look and hair styles---and was alarmed when her jewelry was confiscated so that Evita could get it copied.

Course, I may be a bit cynical (cackle)......but Hollywood coming down hard on Michele's scary Oscar visibility could be reason Obama might be considering ordering the dreaded drones and DHS tanks to roll over Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Malibu, and like environs.

What is hurting Obama is the fact he unwisely used the IRS—the most disliked of all Federal agencies—as the means to intimidate the opposition. Doesn’t he remember that one of the articles of Impeachment against President Nixon was abusing the power of the IRS against political enemies?

Much ado about nothing. Breaches of protocol happen frequently when one is on ceremonial duty, especially in the Executive Branch. If you ever get the chance ask the Marines at HMX-1 about the crap they put up with. We have much bigger fish to fry in nailng this POS.

What are the rules about a soldier, Marine holding an umbrella over a president’s head....some were mentioned at the time of rendering the umbrella aid.

My son graduates Marine boot camp in 23 days which I will attend in San Diego and this makes me sick.

Thanks for the relevant photo’s...There are many other things to focus on relating to this administration..not umbrellas...I was wondering myself about what the protocol is. This wouldn’t seem unusual to me.

I’m curious as to what would happen to that Marine had he refused to take up an umbrella? After all, is it not true that US Marine males are prohibited from using an umbrella while in uniform? So, Obama asked this Marine to do something that is prohibited. What should his response have been?

I cannot speak to the Army regs, Marine regs state no male personnel in uniform can hold an umbrella.

And it’s not just ‘Sauron’ but his Orc and goblin minions.
Another article that prolly deserves its own thread: ‘Senators want foreigners fingerprinted at Airports.’
“That plan was voted down last week when Democrats, led by Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said it was too expensive and too complicated.”

Our critters, D-USA, don’t have a problem at all with the expense, complications and embarrassment to American air travellers and gun owners.

Thats because Marines are warriors, first to fight not umbrella holders for POS posers.

But there are so many other scandals that we need to concentrate on that actually have a chance of facilitating OHurl’s early departure from the Whitehut.

3035. UMBRELLAS. Female Marines may carry an all-black, plain standard or collapsible umbrella at their option during inclement weather with the service and dress uniforms. It will be carried in the left hand so that the hand salute can be properly rendered. Umbrellas may not be used/carried in formation nor will they be carried with the utility uniform.
