Same song, second verse. The day is almost half over before the buffoon we call Mr. President even takes notice of what is happening on his watch. Pitiful excuse for leadership. What next, briefings after lunch?
Follow up : The MAO (Most Arrogant One) likely stayed up all night playing with his drones.
He is ripping off the taxpayers. This guy does not earn 1 penny of his 500k/yr salary. He should be paid by the hour for the so little time he spends actually doing his job. I think I read somewhere Reagan was in the office at daybreak and did not leave until late evening? My Uncle who was on his staff at the ranch, Stated even on vacation Reagan was tending to the Nation’s business. He sure was not a free loader like the one we have now…times have changed.
Burke, et. al.,
I sent this to Island Girl re; the President keeping regular office hours when he CLEARLY doen’t want to. I think it bears repeating here…
“Just once I’d like to see…staying at the office doing 8 hours worth of work!” – Island Girl
No you wouldn’t! Just imagine Obama sitting in a chair with the full might of the Presidency at his fingertips, and even MORE resentful than USUAL that he has to WORK when he could be thinking about his NCAA bracketry…
You know that when Prezzy gets resentful, we ALL gots to pay! Just imagine the onerous EPA regulation, extraconstitutional gun grab, or lethal taxation level with accompanying Republican blame that an extra-petulant Obama would devise if he were forced to sit at his desk like the juvenile deliquent schoolboy that he is at heart… Who knows, maybe he’d drone strike someone just out of spite for DARING to keep him from his good times!
No, keeping Prezzy from his “duties” is like keeping a bear from eating your children. I, for one, would expect us to get ahead if we COULD keep BOTH Obamas out on perpetual, separate vacations, even at the Michelle Antonette d@mn-the-expense-the-taxpayers-got-it price! PLEASE give Obama MORE shiny things to distract him, so maybe we could heal a little before the next outburst of liberal lunacy? please?

“Aside from a salary, the president gets a $50,000 a year expense account, a $100,000 travel account, $19,000 entertainment budget and an additional million for “unanticipated needs.”

With a schedule like this perhaps he could personally do the White House Tours.
I don’t call him Mr. President. I gag every time I hear the words president and Obama used in the same sentence.
I’m so fed up that I’m at the point where I call him “O’D*ckhead” every time I see his fugly mug on my TV. Juvenile, yes, but it’s one way to cope with this never ending nightmare.
I hope the President and ol’Joe have a good laugh at the hurt they’re planning for the general public as they continue lying about the effects of the sequestration mandate.
We just can’t wait to see what the Treasury can do to us to make our lives more miserable than they are already.
Is BarackObama insane, has he lost all reason? Does he understand what being the POTUS means to 300 million people?
Oh, he’s sane alright. And EVIL. He is willfully and systematically destroying this country, just as he and his backers always planned. I’m afraid we haven’t even begun to see or feel the damage.
Holder states in a letter to Rand Paul that drone strikes are legal in America against American citizens. :
“It is possible, I suppose, to imagine an extraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States for the President to authorize the military to use lethal force within the territory of the United States,” Holder replied in a letter yesterday to Paul’s question about whether Obama “has the power to authorize lethal force, such as a drone strike, against a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil, and without trial.”
Homeland Security just bought 2700 light armor tanks and tons of ammo.
Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Courts are so busy politicking and playing partisanship, they are not noticing that this administration is making them obsolete and name only.
The majority of the media is so concerned with their “political correctness” they no longer do their jobs as objective reporters.
When the coup happens and it will soon, the politicians and reporters will realize it is too late. This administration has already sewn shut the mouths and eyes of the mainstream media.
” Appropriate under the Constitution and applicable laws of the United States….and without trial ”
Can someone enlighten me where exactly in the Constitution says the President order my death without trial or what applicable US laws allow him to do the same?
Last time I was in a civics class was in the 7th grade and maybe there’s been changes I haven’t heard about.
The Constitution? Isn’t that the “living document” that doesn’t really apply to modern, civilized, no (admitted) heritage of slave owning, non-White people?
“As someone who has taught constitutional law for almost 40 years, I am ashamed it took me so long to see how bizarre all this is. Imagine that after careful study a government official — say, the president or one of the party leaders in Congress — reaches a considered judgment that a particular course of action is best for the country. Suddenly, someone bursts into the room with new information: a group of white propertied men who have been dead for two centuries, knew nothing of our present situation, acted illegally under existing law and thought it was fine to own slaves might have disagreed with this course of action. Is it even remotely rational that the official should change his or her mind because of this divination?” -Louis Michael Seidman

THAT Constitution?
And this from a “Constitutional Professor”. Kinda sounds like he might have attended classes with “Constitutional Professor” Obama, yes? Although we really haven’t found ANYONE who HAS attended classes with Obama, have we?
The Constitution is what they say it is. If you disagree, you can take your case to Congress, where Harry Reid will stomp it, or to the Supreme Court, where 4 biased and 1 Quisling “judge” will not hear it. EIther way, you’re a racist for even questioning HIM.
Sorry, it’s just toilet paper now. That’s why no White House tours, he had the original cut and spindled in all the WH bathrooms and doesn’t want civilians in there until it’s ALL GONE.
Although Obama DOES occasionally invite John Boehner in to do HIS wiping for him with it, just to keep Boehner in his rightful place…
I won’t ask if you really believe it’s that bad, because in my heart I too know it is.
1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments, Amendments that are supposed to be part of our Bill of Rights are slowly being chipped away one at a time, and once they are gone, the rest aren’t far behind.
a bit OT but – It’s time for Big Sis to go.
2000 out the door, 3000 to go – for now
She didn’t know about the release but states the “undocumented immigrant” detention RIF (reduction in force) will continue -
“Napolitano said that it wasn’t her decision, even though ICE is part of DHS. “Detainee populations and how that is managed back and forth is really handled by career officials in the field,” she told ABC.
She also confirmed that the releases would continue. “We are going to manage our way through this by identifying the lowest risk detainees, and putting them into some kind of alternative to release,” Napolitano said at a Politico event”
Talk about contradiction.. and then to add insult to injury -
The New York Times profiled a “low risk” detainee released by ICE. The detainee was taken into custody “when it was discovered that he had violated probation for a conviction in 2005 of simple assault, simple battery and child abuse, charges that sprung from a domestic dispute with his wife at the time.”
Hate to see her definition of “High Risk”.
Tomorrow is hump day, lets see what it brings. Maybe more leaked emails concerning ways to make legal and tax paying citizens suffer.
The daily schedule should be announced on TV and radio all day long so that us schlubs (the 52% of us actually paying taxes) would know what we’re paying for
It wouldn’t matter. I post the schedule on another forum and the Kool Aid drinkers claim they just don’t post all the work the President does. They claim he is working hard off the record all day. ( then why post a schedule at all?)
And he couldn’t spare one lousy minute to keep the White House visitor tours running.
The man is beyond a petty thug community organizer, he’s a disgrace to the office.
another day of nothing but spending and killing our country
I heard on the news the Crimson Tide are in town to have champion football team photo op with Prezzy and Obama cancelled it ?
Hmm, that’s right. I had posted this week’s advance schedule in another post here and for Wednesday, it said:
On Wednesday, the President will welcome the BCS National Champion University of Alabama Crimson Tide to the White House to honor their 15th championship and their exceptional 2012-2013 season. The President will also continue his tradition of honoring sports teams for their efforts both on and off the field by recognizing the efforts by the Crimson Tide to give back to their community.
Maybe the team had a change of plans due to the weather.
Presidential Briefing cancelled due to Snow.
Meeting with Sect’y Lew cancelled due to Snow.
Lunch with Biden can never be cancelled.
Maybe he has sled dogs to take him down Mass Ave and over to lunchies.
White House tours cancelled because of sequestration BUT they are conducted by volunteers.Right before sequester WH bought one thousand new TSA uniforms made in Mexico for 50 million. Absurd?
Why don’t we do a little ecercise each day to give some substance to Obama’s schedule?
I suggest adding to today’s schedule:
4:00pm Receives briefing on status of FY 2013-2014 proposed Federal Budget
I see he’s keeping up his breakneck pace.
