This President Steps Into it Again

Did you see his post today, this morning?

Donald J. Trump

4 hrs · 

I know many in business and politics that work out endlessly, in some cases to a point of exhaustion. It is their number one passion in life, but nobody complains. My “exercise” is playing, almost never during the week, a quick round of golf. Obama played more and much longer rounds, no problem. When I play, Fake News CNN, and others, park themselves anywhere they can to get a picture, then scream “President Trump is playing golf.” Actually, I play VERY fast, get a lot of work done on the golf course, and also get a “tiny” bit of exercise. Not bad!

Except...

Wow.

Except the facts.

Not only did President Obama play less, far less golf than Mr. Trump, he also didn't fly Air Force One to his hotel---because he didn't own any---and then bill the US Government for the Secret Service to play at his golf course and resort/hotel.

Secret Service Charged More At Trump Properties Than Previously Known, Records Show

Trump's Golfing Tab Already Dwarfs Obama's 8-Year Bill

Trump’s Golf Trips Could Cost Taxpayers 

Over $340 Million

And that President Obama comparison he makes?

Trump Has Played 138% More Golf Than Obama

He has got some outrageous nerve here.

He isn't even smart enough to not bring this up.  As I've noted and said before, this man, this excuse for a President isn't even smart enough to be still, to be quiet, to not say anything at times.

Thanks, as ever and once again, Republicans.

On the President's speech in Joplin last evening

Like it or not, whatever your political party, President Obama hit at least a home run with this commencement speech to the Joplin graduating class last evening.

Kathleen Sebelius lets us down after all

First she's getting off Air Force One with Presdident Obama here in town, headed to Osawatamie, Kansas for a big speech and I'm thrilled, next thing you know, there's this, today: Teenage Girls Will Still Need A Prescription For 'Plan B' WASHINGTON (AP) — "In a surprise move with election-year implications, the Obama administration's top health official overruled her own drug regulators and stopped the Plan B morning-after pill from moving onto drugstore shelves next to the condoms. The decision by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius means the Plan B One-Step emergency contraceptive will remain behind pharmacy counters, as it is sold today — available without a prescription only to those 17 and older who can prove their age." How disappointing. There's almost no other conclusion you can come to but that this was done for political, election year reasons. Proof? "It was believed to be the first time that the HHS has publicly overruled an FDA decision." You let us down, Madam Secretary, you let us down.

The world learns how to pronounce Osawatamie

Welcome to town, Mr. President. (And just how cool was it to see former Kansas Governor, now Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius get off the plane with him?) Link: http://www.kansascity.com/2011/12/06/3304458/president-obama-visits-osawatomie.html

President's flight plans on the internet: WTH?

I think this has to be one of the most overlooked stories in the media this past week. According to an article in The New York Times this past Sunday, some average working joe in Japan posted President Obama's Air Force One flight plan on the internet last November--on his blog--and really, just so he could show his friends. WTH? Are you kidding me? How in the wide, wide world of sports did that happen? How was that possible? The guy is an air traffic controller over there and in his 50's. He "posted 12 pages of delicate information that included flight plans of a Global Hawk drone that was gathering radiation readings near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant..." So much for security, there, eh, Japan? Links: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/11/world/asia/11japan.html?scp=1&sq=japan%20obama&st=cse; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-14867129

Where have we heard this before?

From the news just now:

International alliance divided over Libya command

President Barack Obama, speaking in Santiago, Chile on Monday, defended his decision to order U.S. strikes against Libyan military targets, and insisted that the mission is clear.

And like a parade of Pentagon officials the past few days, Obama insisted that the United States' lead military role will be turned over—"in days, not weeks"—to an international command of which the United States will be just one part.

Like I said, where have we heard THAT before?

Who would have thought that this president, of all people, would have so much in common with and continue so many of the policies of the previous president?

Another "last" from this President

First it was the last flight from this President in Air Force One a few days ago and today, the last Presidential Press Conference.

Thank goodness.

We're getting closer and closer.

But what a doozey this one was.

I was crossing town as I heard the Chucklehead speak and just couldn't believe how delusional and misguided and mistaken and just out-and-out wrong he was, in spite of his conviction.

You can see his excuses for himself, as they come out of his mouth and mind.

What was surprising was when he got what seemed to be angry about the "30,000 people the Coast Guard took off rooftops" in New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina made landfall.

According to W, virtually the worst thing his administration did was putting up the "Mission Accomplished" poster on the aircraft carrier about Iraq, just after our (internationally illegal) invasion.

He described not finding WMD's as a "disappointment."

Disappointment?

With 4,223 confirmed American Soldier deaths based on his directed misinformation, it seems it should be considered, even by this clown, as much more than a "disappointment" but no.

This President is so convinced of himself, in spite of raw data and facts, he has no problems with his actions and non-actions.

What's really rich, though, didn't come from today's insane, disconnected-from-reality press conference. What was really great came this weekend.

It seems W indicted himself on, of all things, Fox (Faux) News.

W couldn't stop himself since, of course, he doesn't know anything of war or troublesome things like law or culpability or responsibility so he blurted out how, yes, he condoned, himself, torture, in order to get information out of suspects at Abu Graib.

Uh, what's that Mr. President?

Unbelievable.

Uh, Mr. President, you need to know it is internationally agreed that torture, even during war, is a war crime and that those who order torture could possibly be open to being tried for that war crime.

So here it is, a two-fer:

W indicted himself, possibly, for one and two, it happened on Fox News.

It was a great day for truth and all that's good and right.

Thre's hope for this country and world yet, in spite of all the damage this clown and his minions did in the last 8 years.
