But we all know the truth.
Must have been afraid of what tonight’s news reports would be if he didn’t provide the media this cover to cover for him.
Take Larry David with you and you probably can get nine in the afternoon.
Media narrative will be how Trump ruined Obama’s golfing trip
Hey! He can’t run again so he could care less
4 days later? The water will have receded. He can now play golf there.
I wonder if he’ll drag hitlery along by her catheter tubing???
Trampy-foot is going to be in a royal snit.
How dare Trump drag him away from the Vin-yahhhhhd
and the 17th. green!!
I was curious how the press treated Bush/Cheney after Hurricane Katrina. Found this on Wiki. Thought nI would share it:
Vacation as Usual
“On the day after Hurricane Katrina was declared to be not as bad as originally feared, it became clear that the effects of the storm had been, after all, beyond devastation,” a New York Times Op-Ed announced August 31, 2005. “But this seems like the wrong moment to dwell on fault-finding, or even to point out that it took what may become the worst natural disaster in American history to pry President Bush out of his vacation.”
“George Bush stayed on vacation. He didn’t get back to work. When the worst natural disaster in our nation’s history attacked us, George Bush STAYED ON VACATION. Why did the federal government stumble so badly on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday? Because on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday, George Bush stayed on vacation in Crawford, Texas. On Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday, vice president Dick Cheney STAYED ON VACATION in Jackson, Wyoming. On Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday, Sec. of State Condi Rice WENT ON VACATION in New York City and went to a splashy Broadway musical and bought obscenely expensive shoes. She went shopping,” Michael Giltz of AMERICAblog wrote September 5, 2005.
“No need to explain why the President was golfing on Tuesday, playing guitar with country singers on a Tuesday while New Orleans died. Which would be fine if not for the inconvenient fact that the levees were breached on Monday, discovered on Monday, and confirmed on Monday. Monday was the day the levees broke,” Izzy wrote September 3, 2005, in the blog Unbossed.
Moreover, “there were no calls for national unity, no experts explaining the state of things, no marshaling of buses and boats and helicopters. Our national leaders were absent. Our national pastimes went on. The experts who were on the news did not speak of the levee, the pumps, the flood, the emergency. They spoke of the revenue, the casinos, the oil, the markets,” Izzy added.
Cheney Came Back “Early”
When Cheney was asked by reporter Roger Simon “why he did not return from his vacation earlier than [Thursday, September 1, 2005,] three days after the hurricane hit, the vice president replied: ‘I came back four days early.’
Quite the afterthought.
Barry: Aw, do I have to? I just wanna golf and stuff.
"Anyone seen them?", every place he goes.
WHERE IS HILLARY?????? Obama isn’t running for election.
leading from behind again! you’d think hitlery would have been down there already. perhaps it’s the weekend and she’s too tired.
Post of the Day!...................
She’s on a weekend bender.
This has become a familiar patter. Trump leads - establishment follows.
