A Golf Joke From Today’s Inbox

A woman was playing golf when she took a big swing and fell.

The party waiting behind her was a group from the White House that included Obama.

Obama quickly stepped forward and helped her to her feet.

She thanked him and started to leave, when he said, “I’m President Obama

and I hope you’ll vote for me this November.”

She laughed and quickly said, “I fell on my ass, not my head!”

Obama Vacation Update: Aides Say He will Only Play “9 Holes” Today……

         On his working vacaction (an oxymoron of sorts for the President), President Obama’s aides have said that in light of the fluid situation in Libya and Syria today, the President will only take in NINE HOLES of golf today instead of 18. This will enable him to better moniter the Libya situation. The round of golf is after some beachtime with the family.

         Yes, the “Presidency” travels with the President. It is “imagery” that is disturbing to many Americans.

         Richard Nixon would go off to San Clemente or Miami. Ronald Reagan would escape to his ranch in California. LBJ and George W. Bush had their ranches in Texas, and Kennedy could go off to Hyannis MA or Palm Beach.

         In each of the above cases, when these men were elected to the White House, the American taxpayer set up their homes with the necessary security and the necessary equipment needed for the office of the Presidency. We could assume that we did the same for that beautiful home in the Chicago suburbs. So why not, in these economic times, did the First Family not spend a vacation like so many Americans….. as a “stay-cation” at their home?

Looking for Leadership………Now

They seem to get the point “spot on” at Hillbuzz.org:

I’m cruising along right now at 35,000 feet somewhere over New York and I’m looking out the airplane window at the beautiful blue sky and bright sunshine…very peaceful. Then it hit me… that while all is calm way up here in the big blue sky… it’s all chaos and turmoil down below and we don’t have a leader strong enough to see us through these scary times. What’s happened over the last several months (probably more like years) is biblical. End-time tsunami, several catastrophic earthquakes, possible nuclear disaster, major unrest in the Middle East, world financial crisis…and I’m sure I’m missing a few other events but you get the big picture. It’s scary. It’s scary as hell and what does our brilliant leader talk about on Saturday’s radio address?

(FoxNews)Amid chaos around the world and on Capitol Hill, Obama’s Saturday radio address was devoted to Women’s History Month and a call to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, a proposal meant to address the income gap between men and women. Then, the president went golfing at Andrews Air Force Base.

What is he thinking? Is he burying his head in the sand hoping that it will all just go away?

This world needs a real leader.

NOW.
