Stung at Home, Obama Embarks on His Longest Foreign Trip
National Journal ^ | November 9, 2014 | BY GEORGE E. CONDON JR

Posted on 11/09/2014 5:17:48 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

The president will spend 10 days in Asia, where leaders know all about his domestic political weakness.

No one could blame President Obama if he wants to get as far away as he can from the bodies of defeated Democratic candidates strewn across the American landscape, far away from the gloating of Republicans and far away from the doubts he can be an effective leader over the next two years. So it is perhaps serendipitous that the president left Saturday for the longest foreign trip of his presidency, a 24,000-mile trek through three countries and two continents that will have him attend four international summits.

More vacation. When the going gets tough, Obama goes on vacation.

The undocumented, rejected Moslem Obola
is truly the Tyrant of Slavery and Imported Diseases.

He is gettin’ outta town before Ferguson explodes. He can pretend he had no idea until he heard it on the news.

I hope he buys a house in one of those countries and refuses to come back to “racist” America.

Yep - I voted then made a point of not watching any returns and driving myself nuts. Woke up to a happy day for America.

Now is the time to redouble our efforts/activism to try to maintain the momentum - push those in office in a conservative direction and push the GOPe/RNC in same direction often and vehemently.

You know... in reality... he’s building a massive compound in Colorado. That’s where he’ll live after dis-service to our country....

Here’s hoping for real change. Maybe he will defect.

What a loser. Stay home, Obama.

Although having him visit has its rewards too.

Streets will not have any where near as much traffic as bureaucrats by the bushel full are being furloughed, factories throttled back to cut pollution and the streets will never be much cleaner.

When an Emperor (in his own mind) &million member entourage is in town, its a relief for many.. And even a boon for everyone except beggars.

Life is strange.. But not as much as his once robust acceptance by so many as our best hope to lead.

I hear he was practicing golf in cold weather, it may not breakout of the 50s the next few days.

Asia is as far as he can get from the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Obama skipped the 20th anniversary as well. The anniversary is probably a day of deep mourning for an aging movement leftist like Zero, but it would not do to be smoked out too publicly on this.

If Obama really wants to tour a foreign country, he should visit the United States Midwest. The red states would sure be foreign to him.

I hope he’s working out the terms of his coming life in exile.

I’ve been in a better mood all week from looking over the fields of defeated demorats. Now it would be complete if obola just went away and didn’t come back.... ever again. It would be better if he is rejected everywhere he goes.
