Obammy was too cowardly to watch the raid that Valerie/Panetta ordered, so he chose to play spades with his boyfriend to avoid the reality of the situation. That should have been your takeaway from the story and it should sicken. A president putting people in harm's way and not being able to face the consequences.

Effete, effeminate and childish are the kindest words I can find to describe Obammy's behavior the night of the Bin Laden raid. It also tells us why we know nothing of his actions the night of Benghazi. It is not hard to imagine him cowering under the covers pretending it is all a bad dream...

Notice how i-node is pretending that only Smirk ever traveled with a communication infrastructure? Every president in modern history has done that. Which is one of the reasons they lease entire floors when a president travels. But they would rather pretend that isn't the case so they can pretend that Obama doing something really unusual when he does it.

Yes, but you forget that Obama also has to bunk his Negro Army. Smirk didn't have a Negro Army. He relied on the white one.

It is a fact of presidential politics that the party not in power will raise hell about the number of vacation days, and the cost of them, that presidents take. It is part of the deal.

But vacation days aren't the measure. Bush worked hard when on vacation; Obama takes it easy. In fact, by all accounts, Obama is the biggest slacker to occupy the White House, at least in modern times.

There are two real problems with Obama's work ethic:

First, there is scant evidence the man is doing anything at all. News came out yesterday that during the Beghazi attacks, the man was playing spades because "he couldn't stand to watch it." Seriously, can you imagine GWB being that out of the loop?

As far as I can see, his only real function is to make comments that serve no one's interests: He has created more racial tension than Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson combined, denigrated and humiliated Putin (and himself), offended the Brits, and couldn't negotiate his way out of a paper bag.

Secondly, his vacations have been exceedingly lavish -- you have to admit that much. Wasteful spending at a time when the country is doing poorly. Even Jimmy Carter didn't do this. Big parties, expensive vacations, all of it - - contributes to a perception of elitism, which as it turns out, isn't merely perception, it is reality.

Worst. President. Ever.

No idea who "Smirk" is...but I note the disparity in cost between the taxpayer funded travel and vacation expenses Odumbo has incurred and those of the last President, GW Bush are widely disparate under ANY measure....and obscene by comparison.....
