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.

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

His immaturity is truly impressive.

I'd be more impressed if he did one of those "naked and alone" things in the jungles of Indonesia.

America's Boy King escapes the destruction he has wrought for a trip to the outer provinces
of his realm where the little people have not yet suffered quite as much from his insane tyranny.

Time the GJ report release to the Polar Vortex's arrival in St. Loouie.

Global Warming fuels riots, cold rioters will not throw Molotov cocktails, they will warm themselves with them.

The more time out of the country, the less time he has to mess it up. He needs to go on a two year world trip. Or better yet, a lifetime trip to Leavenworth.

It is no coincidence that Chines goobermint newspapers are openly humiliating Obama before this trip. Obama is going to get spanked and we will be the ones punished for it.
