Where Is Obama Finding the Time to Watch So Much Television?
Newsbusters ^ | 1/1/14 | Howard Portnoy

Posted on 01/01/2014 5:09:26 PM PST by Nachum

A recurring theme during the Obama presidency has been that, despite the distinct sense he gives of a man who sees himself as “above it all,” the president is a regular down-to-earth Joe. His efforts to connect with the hoi polloi have not always succeeded. His most recent attempt, enrolling in Obamacare, was sullied by the revelation that he didn’t actually dirty his own hands navigating the exchanges — his “staff” enrolled for him — and the gesture was purely symbolic anyway. Former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen observed at the Washington Post that the cynicism of the move would be

Yeah, but mostly he loves the embeded cartoon, "Basketball Jones".

He watches 32 hours of TV a day, without impacting his golf game or his job, because he’s so much smarter than you.

He has to kill time while waiting for the next set of instructions from the shadowy cabal of Leftists who snuck him into office.

Obama has to watch TV to find out what is going on. No one ever tells him anything. He was in bed during Benghazi and only found out about Fast & Furious and the failed Obamacare website by watching it on the news>

Anybody really believe that?

He watches all that TV, a minute here, an hour there, while spying on the TV-watching American people.

Well most places, you can only play golf in daylight hours.
So that leaves a lot of usable hours...

When Valerie Jarrett makes all your decisions for you, you do have the time to watch lots of TV, plus play 4 hours of golf and have four hours of an after golf party with your buds.

I’ve long believed that Obama is a mental lightweight. Others do all the Presidential work, leaving plenty of time for golf, TV, etc. He’s a true puppet, good for only reading a teleprompter.

When he was a “Constitutional Law Professor” his colleagues said he was LAZY.

Let’s just be honest. Obamas goal was to be POTUS and shove socialism down our throats to save “his people”. He has successfully divided this country in epic proportions. His job is done, why not watch TV, vacation, hang with celebrities and golf? Another reality, Obama has proven that most black leaders can’t look beyond the color of their own skin, which is why few are capable of leading.

I think it’s because Obama honestly can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality. He watches these things and then he keeps referring to himself as being like some one or another of the characters.

It’s like when that ditzy actress who was in a movie about farming testified before a Congressional committee on farming (years ago), only in reverse. She was talking about something she “knew” about only from having read her script. This time, the person who actually has the job talks about the fictional world as if it is the reality.

Obama is a crazy sociopath, and that’s how they are. Everything about them is fictional, so it’s not surprising that he seems to live his life through television fiction and seems to be unable to tell the difference.

Valerie is running the WH, Mooch is taking care of the kids, and all the “czars” are partying like Dentzel Washington. Of course Barry has plenty of free time.

The stupid bassturd doesn’t work. He reads a teleprompter every once in a while, gets paid a ridiculous amount of money to do it and gets infinite expense card for vacations, golf, parties.

He turns my stomach.

Obama is so easy to understand. He’s 14 years old.
