Obama's Hawaiian Vacation Is Over: Here Are The Next Steps

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It is with great regret we inform our readers that, following 14 consecutive days of updates - by the Associated Press no less - and others...

... regarding Barack Obama's daily activities during his Hawaiian vacation including his exercise, swimming, executive order and golfing regiment, today is the last such day of can't miss headlines surrounding the Glorious Free World Leader's time away from reading from the TOTUS. So what to expect next? Here is the answer via the WSJ:

After returning to Washington on Sunday from a two-week vacation in Hawaii, President Barack Obama will spend the days before his Jan. 20 State of the Union address trying to sell Americans on his coming economic policy proposals.

 

Mr. Obama plans to roll out legislative proposals and executive actions over the week on issues including housing, manufacturing and higher education, White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. 

 

He will do so while traveling the country highlighting progress in the economy, Mr. Schultz said.

 

The strategy is a shift from previous years when the White House has kept a tight lid on proposals Mr. Obama would announce in his State of the Union address. Mr. Obama's aides hope the approach builds on momentum from the lame-duck congressional session, which resulted in an agreement to fund the government through September.

 

Mr. Obama will visit the Detroit area on Jan. 7 to emphasize the success of the government's bailout of the auto industry, followed by stops in Phoenix to focus on housing policies and in Tennessee for an event on college affordability.

 

Vice President Joe Biden will join Mr. Obama in Tennessee, the kind of joint appearance the White House usually reserves for after the State of the Union address.

"The president is eager to get to work, and looks forward to working with the new Congress on policies that will make sure middle-class Americans are sharing in the economic recovery," Mr. Schultz said.

And some more details:

So the first 6 years he was doing what exactly?

In other news, America's middle class is now rumored to be pooling its resources to pay for an extension of Obama's vacation until January 2017.

I'm starting to think that there's something amiss when Joe is with him.  Always standing off to the side behind him, sneering.
Considering most everything these folks do is for show, a sneering old balding white man stands diligently behind the commie black radical to reinforce the "It's All OK with the Direction We're Going Theme"

Wonder how much more "flexibility" we'll be seeing during that time? Two years of "more flexibility" has already firmly established Cold War II, so maybe we can expect better?? Cold War II to World War 3 would be such a stunning achievement for a Nobel PEACE Prize winner, wouldn't it . . . . . .

Plus, goes far to show his care and empathy with the less fortunate who supposedly vote Democratic.
Ask A Progressive.
He deserves it.
If he were Bush (or any other Republican)* it would be an Impeachable Offense.

* Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I know all about the great One Party Reality.  I'm suggesting an alternative view of division that the majority still believe.
Why, just today at lunch after golf, one of my Progressive Buds made a comment about doing good on the Norks with more Sanctions after my neo-con bud said that they'd hacked Sony.
I pointed out that within the week, Oblahma said that sanctions don't work and that's why he's lifting them on Cuba and imposing Sanctions that don't work on the Norks.
Everybody was dumbfounded that anyone else (moi) had made such a connection.

As long as that dwindling "Middle Class" continues to pay "their Fair Share tm ", and implicitly agree to bear the entire brunt of the next series of bailouts of the TBTF "Responsible" Institutions, so as to continue the Western "Profit Model" - privatise all profits, socialise all losses.

So, it's off to Detroit  "to emphasize the success of the government's bailout of the auto industry, followed by stops in Phoenix to focus on housing policies and in Tennessee for an event on college affordability."  

One assumes there also will be stops in Ferguson, Missouri, to boast of progress in creating universal racial harmony, in Las Vegas, to demonstrate the success of this administration's programs of moral uplift, and in Newtown, Connecticut, to share insights on school safety,

I don't see Hawaiians in the picture. There used to be a separatist movement there, wanted their country back.

If I was an Islander, I would kick everyone out, take back my country and offer a few places for tourist only, charge a good buck so I don't have to work 3 jobs to survive and have a good life.

Who needs a big military base there, just to get bombed again by somebody?

If Israel can be took back as a country, why not Hawaii?

I'd have thought Dear Leader would have been able to use "Public Funds" for a more effective public-image manipulation programme. The fact that he hasn't might speak volumes on his "perception" of the average (white) voter . . . .

Personally, I like the new Obama Bike. It is an honest form of transportation. China comes to mind. And then, I so love to ride my bike. I enjoy biking behind my girlfriend especially. If I had kids I'd make them ride a bike to power a television. They could watch tv all day as far as I fucking care. Let those little shits spin the meter backwards.

I think that this is one overlooked facet of Obamacare. We have the biking infrastructure. It's just not utilized. And I think this is why he doesn't look to smart on the god damn horse. We have to keep this in mind: he's but a child. He works for his betters and does what he's told. If I got into the shit, my hair wouldn't turn gray. I'd turn back the clock. I'd be a ghengis kahn.

What I think is that as things begin to devolve, our beloved fuhrer has got to prostrate himself to caesar. What better photograph could prove his obsequious obedience. And at some point, this man, this figure might get a minute to think, OMG What have I become? He can vacation all he wants. But I can go fucking buck wild.
