This Is What Obama Was Doing During The Democratic Debate

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If you missed the third democratic debate, don't worry, you are not alone: the President himself had much more important pursuits to attend to when the potential successor from his party was laying out her (or his) ideological vision for the future of America.

As Politico reports:

On his first full day of his annual Christmas vacation in Hawaii, President Barack Obama was not tuned in to see the latest debate between those vying to become his Democratic successor.

 

Instead, the president spent much of the Democratic debate on the golf course more than 5,000 miles away.

 

According to pool reports, Obama played golf with Joe Paulsen, Mike Brush and Bobby Titcomb for more than four hours Saturday, departing Marine Corps Base Hawaii for his Kailua residence shortly before 5 p.m. Hawaiian time.

So for the benefit of Obama, and everyone else who prudently had better things to do on Saturday night, here is the punchline: Hillary Clinton said "everyone should love her", including corporate America. Here's The Hill

Presidential debate moderator David Muir of ABC on Saturday mentioned a Fortune Magazine cover during the 2008 election carrying the headline "Business loves Hillary," pointing out her support from many CEOs.

 

Asked whether, eight years later, corporate America should still love her, Clinton replied, "Everybody should." 

Judging by the hundreds of millions in donations (thanks Cheryl Mills) and "speaking fees" the Clintons have accumulated over the years, business clearly does "love Hillary." 

By the way, lest anyone should forget how much American taxpayers are shelling out so that Obama can play golf in Hawaii instead of watching the Democratic debate, here's what Sputnik said back in March

The Obama family’s 2014 Christmas vacation to Hawaii cost taxpayers more than $3.6 million in flight expenses alone, according to Air Force records obtained by Judicial Watch.

 

The president grew up in Hawaii, and Christmas there is an annual family tradition. The most recent trip marked the seventh consecutive time the Obamas have spent the holidays in Hawaii – the sixth as the first family. All told, those Christmas vacations have cost taxpayers $15.5 million just in transportation expenses, according to figures obtained by Judicial Watch over the past three years.

You can do the math yourself on last year's Hawaii excursion by adding up the flight time logged in the records of the first family’s Honolulu vacation and multiplying the total by the roughly $230,000/hour it costs to run Air Force One (documents embedded below).

Obama has lost all interest in the presidency.  You can see it in his talks, actions, he wears it.  Probably why he is on vacation, advised/told to do so.  It’s going to be a long last year when we need leadership most of all. 

Other:

If people could not see through Hillary last night, we have greater problems.  She is pompous and shallow.

Isn't all very simple. Immaterial weather he's a good golfer or not. More important is that he's a livining example of what Saudi money can buy. That's how he got thru law school and managed to get into politics. That and being a covert muzzie. On inaguration day he will just meet with the next Prez and hand him a list of important phone numbers and tell him the house rules.

Don't fight the IS.

Turn a blind a eye towards every Saudi intrigue

Just obey the handlers

Never oppose the smart ones...the M Brotherhood.

 

It's all blatantly obvious.

As Americans (those of you that are) - ain't you really ashamed of yourselves...? And if you think you will just ride this one out as well and it won´t damage you as much as the rest of western world. Think again.

This is like the 30ies . And eventually you will have to join up with Russkies and also the Chinese and just flatten the Mid East. Just kick their ass and take their gas. The Fords and Bushes and Obamas of the previous decades have had their lucrative decades. This is simply not tenable . You have sown the wind and you will have to reap the whirlwind.

I only feel sorry for all the grunts that will be drafted and put ashore to kick ass.

Hillary is a walking Felony Factory. Her existence outside of the JailBar Hotel and a striped jumpsuit is the prima facie evidence of a corrupt oligarchy in DC.

The "debates" are a farce-remember politics is the entertainment wing of the Banksterz' Military Industrial Complex. They already know who the next Prezzy and VP are

Clinton quickly accepted the apology Saturday night, saying "We should move on because I don't think the American people are interested in this."

From http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/clinton-sanders-democratic-debate-1.3373443 She was eager to change the subject before the old Communist curmudgeon accidentally told everyone that her moles successfully accomplished their mission! The fact that he held his tongue tells me she has some really bad dirt on the crooked Communist.

Any candidate would win alot of votes simply by stating the facts: Barry has destroyed America's middle class. Simply pledge to make America great again by:

 

1) bring jobs back from overseas;

2) cut taxes instead of raising them like Barry has;

3) slow down illegal immigration or AT LEAST don't encourage it like Barry does;

4) pull out of all these wars;

5) eliminate or serverely reform the total failure called Obamacare;

6) being blunt and honest (very much like Trmp has been doing);

7) put people in the DOJ and SEC who will actually enforce the law for a change; and,

8) tax foreigners who are flooding USA RE market.

 

You get the drift. 95 million people out of work is too many and encouraging thug behavior is not becoming of a president of the United States. Tax the Russians, Chinese, Nigerians, etc who are somehow bringing millions here and buying houses. I am not against it but why not tax them? Most other countries do I read. How about a 25% sales/property tax when purchased and double the annual property tax of an American citizen?

Why not?

It should be painfully obvious by now, to anyone with a firing synapse, that the current occupant of the Out House is nothing more than a spokesman.    And that is not to suggest that his predecessors were any less, however it does seem as though with each successive turn of the presidential election cycle, the 'functional capacity' of the office diminishes even more, to the point where we're at now.

I can never quite figure out:

 

Why is it that all these large businesses and trade associations pay these large sums of money ($225,000 per speech) to people like Hillary to say nothing substantively of any consequence?  

 

She just earned $22 million in 2 years for doing very little work and for communicating thoughts which really don't enlighten anybody ("hot air").  Her husband Bill got away with the same thing on a far larger scale.

 

Why does this happen NOWADAYS---compared to say the 1980s and all history prior when ex-politicians could never get away with earning this kind of money for doing and saying NOTHING?

 

Ahhh, "public service" has been so rewarding for these people.  They must be so happy to "serve the public".

They are worth $140 Million when they get out in 8 Years they will be worth $1 Billion

All the speeches have same "content" pre 1992 when Clinton made "nothing" for same speeches today and during his Presidency tenure he made $250,000 per annum

Now he gets $250-500,000 per speech

"The president grew up in Hawaii, and Christmas there is an annual family tradition"

Barack Hussein Barry Obama moved to Indonesia at the age of 5 or 6.  His parents repudiated his American and British (as a result of being born to a Kenyan citizen in 1961 while Kenya was a British protectorate) citizenships and declared him Indonesian in order to meet the strict citizenship requirements to attend Indonesian schools.  He renewed his Indonesian passport and reavowed his allegience to Indonesia at the age of 18.  While US law gave him the opportunity to regain US citizenship until the age of 24, there is no evidence that he ever attempted to do so.

Not only are we headed for an economic collapse but we also have a Constitutional crisis brewing.  How will America deal with that fact that the Whitehouse has been occupied by an illegal alien for 8 years.  How do we unwind 8 years worth of legislation signed by an illegitimate President?

Blah blah blah, Obama's travel to Hawaii is expensive.  So what?  It's not Obama's fault that the USG chooses spend a lot of money to haul around his entourage.  Blame Congress, they appropriate the money, the White House itself doesn't. 

If I was president I would vacation anywhere I damn pleased.  In fact, it would cost more to protect me than to protect Obama because I would refuse to have my go-abouts burdened by security issues.  If I wanted to ride a motorcycle, go pleasure boating, visit an amusement park or engage in other public activities where control of access is practically impossible, it would be the taxpayer's problem to try to protect me from being assasinated or kidnapped.  I wouldn't allow places to be shut down during my visit or people to be forced through metal detectors, etc.  Obama saves money by spending time on a military golf course.
