Obama Spends Christmas Eve Golfing in Hawaii

It may have been a week later than he had hoped, but US President Barack Obama finally hit the links in Hawaii Saturday on his first full day of vacation.

Obama touched down in the Aloha State Friday night after signing a bill in Washington extending the payroll tax cut for two months.

The president had delayed his departure for Hawaii amid the tax cut stalemate, with his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha leaving as planned on Dec. 17.

On Saturday morning, the couple skipped their usual morning workout, with the president heading off for an afternoon of golf and the first lady spreading some Christmas cheer, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.

Obama was joined at the Klipper course at the Marine Base Hawaii in Kaneohe by old friends and Hawaii locals Mike Ramos, Greg Orme and Bobby Titcomb, along with Chicago friend Eric Whitaker, and White House staffers Sam Kass and Marvin Nicholson.

The president went golfing on the first day of his Christmas vacation in Hawaii last year as well.

    I can’t even finish reading this story. I am so sickened and angry at this con-man-in-chief’s antics, reckless spending in the midst of economic collapse brought on by our govt and he has had the lion’s share of responsibility on purpose but keeps blaming Bush who certainly is to blame for enough but soetoro holds most of the blame. This damn traitor/imposter and his ugly ass wife act as royalty while we are hurting “let them eat cake(bread)” should be attributed to his ugly ass arrogant conceited ignorant obnoxious egotistical narcissistic vainglorious repulsive salacious abominable, detestable wife. Dammit this bastard is pitting ethinic groups, workers and managers, racial groups, religious groups, young and old against each other. His lying sham ass is the most anti-American divisive person ever to inhabit the office we pay for. The SOB is a damn traitor and if we had any men in our govt with enough como se llama they would have his traitorous ass impeached, convicted, imprisoned etc, etc, etc, etc.

    The SOB plays golf, goes on vacations that I am sure he IS NOT paying out of his pocket (4 million dollars) that damn bastard. The damn academic eggheads, commie press, brainwashed minorities, union thugs/dummies support his ass. We are broke and the bastard trifles with our finances and the damn senate under whore house harry reid refuses to vote on a budget.

    Kick their asses out of office. WAKE UP AMERICA before it is too late. It may already be!!!!!!

          Would be hard put to express it better! Thanks!

    • lucitee

      I have played the Klipper course when my son was at Kaneohe! It is a beautiful course with awesome views of the ocean as well as sea-side play! I KNOW he didn’t enjoy HIS game as much as I did! It infuriates me that he thinks GOLF is the only thing he can do on vacation! I doubt very much if he can even break a hundred! He wants SO BAD to mimic the other Presidents who played and played WELL! Even Jimmy Carter wouldn’t play golf because Plains, Georgia doesn’t have a golf course and there was nowhere for him to practice! In fact, WE probably pay for O’Bamas GOLF CZAR! I bet he CHEATS!!

        Whe Eisenhower was President, his gold score was one of the better kept state secrets. People just smiled and indulged him.
        That was when thye world was still in order and people were not waiting in ambusg hoping to embarrass the Head of State.

        • msbets

          SORRY BUT THIS THING IS FAR FROM HEAD OF STATE…………..NOT EVEN CLOSE. JUST A MONGREL USURPER.

        What REALLY ticks me is He says he is all for the poor and Middle class worker. Reagan ALWAYS spent Christmas in DC so the Secret Service Folks could spend Christmas with their families, thisButtwipe has to go to HA and takes a Minimum of 30 SecSer with him so they miss Christmas at home so DIPSTICK can play golf–Sure shows how he cares for others !!!!!

        • Angela Smith

          I know Bush always spent his Christmas vacation in DC. NO WAIT. He spent it in Crawford Texas! WOW, I’m sure the Secret Service loved Christmas in Crawford. Let’s see, Hawaii (where the President was born no matter what the lunatic fringe writes) or Crawford Texas for Christmas. Such a tough choice! But being such a patriot, I am sure you bashed Bush for leaving DC as well Otherwise you are just another right wing hypocrite.

          • Jacqueline L

            Angela, in the event of an attack on America, how soon can you see this Pretender reaching the mainland? Remember, also, MO went on ahead with the extended family and all the trappings at the same costs he duplicated “following later”. So we saved $40 or less in our paychecks for two months. How does that balance out with tax money spent of Surfer Dudes Aloha Holiday?!

      • CJM

        FYI: Jimmy Carter does not like to play golf–so why would he when he was President? The only reason golf came into the public realm is because that miserable Eisenhower made it popular. Once he began ‘playing golf’ every kid in school had to take the idiotic sport in their gym classes–I know because I was one of those kids (and hated Eisenhower because of it).

    • Suzanne

      Well said! In all my years I never dreamed that the Americans would ever put up with this lying communist! To think that there are enough people, in this country, that like him enough to vote him back in amazes me! I was talking with two sisters that are in their 70′s and they both told me that they would never vote for anyone other than a
      democrat. I asked why and they said that they promised their father that they would always vote for a democrat. During this past election I was watching FOX news and they were outside a polling place in Nevada. A nice looking lady came out and they walked up and asked her who she voted for. She said that she voted for Harry Reid.
      The reporter asked her why and she said that he knows alot of people in Washington and I think that is good. This is what we are up against.

      • Dingbat36

        Yep, cretins, imbeciles, idiots and morons!

      • Questionman

        Why do you keep proving my point that you are an ignorant? The political Right is filled of Racists. Although their are plenty of good reasons to despise Obama’s policies, many bring up his race, etc. There is a deep well of hatred that has been tapped since he took office. Racist among Whites are feeling more free than ever before to spew racial hatred about him and your pathetic attempt to deny it is even more annoying! He isn’t but most certainly isn’t a communist.

        • Jacqueline L

          I have encountered more RACIST minorities along my travels than white ones. But minorities always insist they cannot be RACIST! By what reasoning would that be so?

      Great post, Patriotdynamite! I was going to try to not post negative comments on this holy day of Christmas, but got so disgusted reading about the Usurper and his gargantuan sow of a wife and their antics in Hawaii. What I found even more obscene about them (if that’s possible) is Obama’s web site asking for input from “the little people” [snark] about what $40.00 means to them, and this when he and Sasquatch are spending about $4 million a day of our money in Hawaii. They each must have gotten a good chuckle reading the responses of the desperate Americans foolish enough to answer his request. Just when I think these two frauds can’t get any more outrageous. How disgusting!

      There is a booklet, entitled: IMPEACHMENT, a case for impeachment against Barack Hussein OBAMA, copyright, 2010 which makes a strong case for the impeachment of OBAMA based on a number of violations of the U.S. Constitution. I got my copy through World Net Daily (WND) and it of course does not incluce his 2011 violations, which may outnumber those in the entire booklet. I am about half through as I too, have a hard time reading all the violations this guy has committed. Maybe we all should send a copy to our legislators (?) so they will not be able to deny they “no nothing”, which may be closer to the truth than we like to admit.

    • ketrout

      You sound as angry as I am with these idiots in Washington. ME MUST GET RID OF THIS IDIOT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND HE DESTROYS THIS ONCE GREAT COUNTRY COMPLETELY1

    • Infidel

      Hey, BO has spent a lot of time working hard campaigning. We can afford to send him on vacation.
      After all gas prices have only doubled since he was elected and the government will tell you there is no inflation, except for food. Eggs here 0.99 up to $1.50 plus, meat up 50% plus, bread up 50% …but we can eat cake and walk to work, if you have a job, no raises in the last 3 years, benefits & hours cut, 20% plus real unemployment. They don’t count people whose benefits have run out or those who retired early to try and live on $800/mo SS.
      But tere is no inflation because food and gas prices are offset by the value of the home you live in going down 100%.
      Obama needs a permanent vacation

      • patriotdynamite

        You may be right but I believe it is us who need a vacation for his arrogant ass!!!!!!!!!!!

  • True Patriot

    I agree, patriotdynamite, this criminal, commie *as*ard, SOB POS is out in Hawaii golfing on Christmas Eve spending 4 million dollars of OUR tax money for his *amn vacation, while we Americans at home are suffering from a bad economy, emontional finanacial distress, low morale, etc…. This sponge should be arrested, now, brought back to DC/Kenya, tarred and feathered or made to pay back all this 4 million dollars he’s wasting or go to Leavenworth, KS federal military pen. Because, he’s gonna put us in prison or dentention camps. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. But, the ‘yellow’ belly cowardice judges in our courts and politicians in the U.S. House and Senate won’t do anything about this criminal illegal alien fraud. How many politicians in the U.S. House and Senate has he bribed? How many federal judges has he bribed? Why is he getting away with this for so long? Are we under God’s Divine Judgement or something? See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com

      True Patriot, he can’t PAY us back! He HAS NOTHING! Never HAS had except for the
      “hand-outs” he has enjoyed all his LIFE from OTHERS! Especially US! With NO effort on HIS part except to be malleable for his Foreign “POTTERS”! Where have all the FORMER Velcro Politicians in Washington that have been for “We the People” for decades? Or WERE they? Deluted! Replaced by this “FRAUD” with his “hoard” of interlopers who have taken over our lives and Government!

      • Dingbat36

        Are you kidding?? The Obamas will live extremely comfortably on the leftovers of his campaign funds which I doubt he will spend, expecting the DNC to do his advertising. His personal campaign funds, he can keep even if he isn’t re-elected. How much of his projected “billion” do you suppose he’ll walk away with?

    This only is his 34th game of Golf this year alone. George W. always spent Christmas at the White House so the Secret Service agents could have time with their families as most of them live close to Washington, DC. He spent New Years Eve at Camp David. After January 1st he flew back to his home (which he owns) in Crawford Texas and stayed there until it was time to get ready for his annual State of the Union Address.

    The real meaning of Christmas is to spend time with the family. Bush made sure all his staff had that time to do so. Obama drags everyone away from their families to the furthest point away from Washington, DC.

  • bsfurg

    and he laughed all the way around the golf course cause he knew that millions would be having a fit that he is golfing… He loves to do things that will get him attention and he will do as much danage as he can during the next 11 months cause theres not a man or womn in the USA that will try to stop him… why I dont know hes nothing..hes a fake and liar and he cares nothing abut what damage he is doing to the USA If he gets relected in 2014 that will be the end of a freedom we have in the USA and the muslims will take over and that will be the end of the freedom for our women…. and Christians… Its up to the ppl to stop him not the congress as the congress are nothing but a house of dufusses and thats not a good word..

  • Victor Barney

    How about a couple of Biblical(Scriptural) facts? First, Hebrew, NOT EVEN GREEK, is the ONLY set-apart spiritual language(Zeph. 3:9, Acts 26:14, 1 Cor. 4:6). As England, America is the only possible “ISRAEL” by name identified by ENGLAND possessing the longest lasting and most powerful civil empire in history(Gen. 48:16). OTHERWISE, WE ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE ONLY “SIGN” GIVEN U.S., which is KEEPING THE 7TH DAY SABBATH AND ANNUAL SABBATHS EACH YEAR. IT WAS UNCONDITIONAL, LUCKY FOR U.S. BECAUSE WE SOON BROKE IT! NOW, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, ISRAEL HAS NOT ONLY PUT OVER ITSELF THE “FORBIDDEN FOREIGNER” OF DEUTERONOMY 17:15, BUT ALSO THE SELF-PROFESSED ENDTIME ANTI-CHRIST”(MARXISM, AS THE BEAST, ISLAM BOTH ARE ANTI-CHRIST BY DEFINITION, I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW) OF REVELATION, CHAPTER 11! NEXT, ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2012 COMES THE TWO-WITNESSES DESCRIBED IN REVELATION, CHAPTER 11 AND IT’S NOT GOING TO END WELL FOR ALL AMERICANS(ANGLO-SAXONS), SAVE 144,000! Watch!

          I know this sounds as if I’m a stickler, but I agree with the others who say that ALL CAPS (except for occasional emphasis) is disrespectful. It is as if you are shouting in someone’s face to make your point.
          The point of the article is how insensitive the pres is to be constantly going golfing and on vacations when the majority of Americans cannot afford to do so in the economic chaos he has caused.
          So don’t be insensitive like BHO; I think you can make your point without all caps and there will be a more civil dialogue. In fact some sites specifically disallow entries that are all caps.

      Contact your congressional members and demand they answer the question: Why haven’t you begun impeachment against obama and his cohorts? The evidence is mounting daily of his treasonist and seditionist behaviors as well as his criminal acts. No citizen would be permitted to commit these transgressions against the laws, why is he allowed to be different since the US Constitution demands that our laws be upheld. I will bet you get no response, but keep sending them that question.

    Christmas is a Federal and National Holiday proclaimed to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. That is a a matter of record in this country. President Barack Hussein Obama who claims to be Christian cannot and will not ever wish anyone in this country “Merry Christmas” because his real religion forbids his recognition of Jesus Christ. (Sic) He is not on a Christmas break or vacation but is enjoying at this Nation’s expense a “holiday” in the Hawaiian Islands (not his home). My prayer this day and always since his inauguration is that somehow my God will awaken the American people to what he is doing or has done to this once great Nation and will cease his wrath and punishment on the United States of America. Christmas and the Christmas Season is supposed to be a Happy and Joyous time. For the first time in my life including 3 years of combat service, this is the darkest day I have ever had or witnessed. I do not know how any true American can be happy today as we continue to witness the destruction of this country according to Barack Obama and his supporters’ agenda. Have prayed for a reversal of our disastrous course and that God somehow, someway will save the USA. My faith tells me that maybe our prayers will be answered before it is too late. There must be someone in the Congress of the USA that has the capacity to start the Impeachment Process which is long overdue. That is my prayer as I ask that God Bless and Save America. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

        H stopped the deep decline we were headed for. Read history, particularly the period from 1929 – 1940. The Hoover administration allowed the economy to go into a deep recession and unemployment climbed over 25% which extended into Roosevelts administration. Nobody blamed Roosevelt for the 25% unemployment rate, yet they blame Obama for this recession. Conditions in 2008 were actually worse than 1929, yet unemployment did not go over 10%. This President did a remarkable job in stopping the decline in less than 3 years while having to put up with the Republican say “NO” policy. You should be gratful that he saved teachers & first responders jobs. Don’t ever forget that the bank bailout was a Bush endevor, not Obama’s.

        • RULKEN

          Wow your pretty good at twisting numbers there Rick.
          Actually it was the Hoover administration, that didn’t handle the declining markets that ultimately pulled the economy down in the 29 crash. The Roosevelt administration didn’t do the economy any favors either.
          As far as the unemployment rate not going over the 10% rate your way off the mark. I seem to remember it going to 11.4% . What do you think we’re all stupid here? If you add in the factor of people who gave up looking for work you come up with a figure more like 15- 17%!
          What are you talking about he did such a wonderful job for three years! What did he do that was so wonderful, huh? What ?
          Again your seem to have forgotten that he had control of the senate AND the congress, the first two years! The democrats were in power and they gave him everything he asked for. To the tune of (now we find out) 7 trillion more than the 4 trillion that we knew he put every man woman, and child on the hook for!
          What may I ask do we have to show for it besides a debt and soaring unemployment !?
          He has always put political needs before the people of this nation.
          He has ignored the constitution, and appointed liberal judges, and socialist to head departments, not to mention the appointments that he has handed out like candy to his Muslim friends.!
          I feel sorry that you are so brain washed that you think this way.
          I will only ask you one more question, are you better off now than you were in 2008? Hope and change. Yeah right!

          • Rick

            I believe it is you who is brainwashed. The unemployment rate never hit 10% under Obama. Hoover, a Republican, was the president until 1933 and his administration let the economy go to pieces from 1929 to 1933 when Roosevelt took over and started the reversal. Under Roosevelt we had the Glass-Steagall Act which put controls on the financial sector. Phil Gram, another Republican who didn’t like government controls, undertook to have that act repealed and look what happened. My friends, we do need government controls or the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. this is not some liberal, commie talking…I actually voted for Barry Goldwater in 1964. We cannot go on with a trend favoring the very rich….it won’t work in the long run.

    • CJM

      Damn, Rick—we have fallen and badly at that. Who’s to blame? OBAMAAAAAAA. But, then again, I suppose your MESSIAH can do no wrong. Far as I’m concerned, your messiah STINKS.

  • AliveStillKickin

    Sooooooo…..Barry headed off to the links….ALONE….while Mickey shared some of her King Cobra 40 with the locals.
    These two cocky dirtbags HATE each other and they have a lot of company in that sentiment.
    You NEVER see them together unless Barry-boy is campaigning and needs a female to sell his “useful idiots” the B.S. that he isn’t a homosexual…..just like you need a dog to sell dog food.
    Too bad there aren’t coed prisons….I would love to see them forced to spend “time” together after January 2013.

    • Michel

      True, true…and look at how Michele looks at him. Like she has a bad taste in her mouth.

  • ruth

    Anyone spot LARRY SINCLAIR in that photo-op?

  • Michel

    It would have much cheaper for us middle class if he stayed in Washington and played golf instead of flying half way around the world to do it. Why didn’t he want want to hang out with his family? Isn’t he suppose to be a wonderful husband and father…or was that the main stream media filling us full of crud? I suspect more crud, I feel sad for everybody on the island, that much manure gets really smelly. Also why does he get a Christmas vacation? He doesn’t believe in Christ (nothing on his tree about Jesus) just pictures of himself and Mao…vote him out of office. And all his little friends too.

  • Patriot7

    So much for Mr. Obama’s claim that he is a Christian. He has shown clearly that he doesn’t give a hoot about Christian holidays and to him, Christmas is just another day to play golf. We should be working hard to give him a permanent vacation so he can spend all of his time on the golf course where he cannot wreak any more havoc upon our nation.

  • AlleyOops

    There isn’t any of you who think as poorly of Obama as me…that being said, all of the ranting and raving about the president being on vacation at his home state is downright juvenile…All presidents have taken their vacations…FDR in Warm Springs, GA, HST in Independence, MO, DDE in Camp David, Kennedy in Hyannisport, Johnson at the LBJ ranch in TX, Nixon in Whitier, CA & Ford in Palm Springs, CA, Jimmie Carter at Camp David & his peanut farm in GA, Reagan at his Ranch near Santa Barbara, CA, Bush one in ME and W at his ranch in the hill country of TX…I suppose it depends on which president you like or dislike as to how you feel about their choice of vacation spots.

    • CJM

      The problem, Alleyoop, is that obammy has been on one long vacation….he doesn’t work and has no intention of doing so. He himself claims he has a ‘lazy streak,’ and noting his adversion to work, I believe him.

    • Richard

      Again, I wish he would try Bikini.

  • Patricia

    So very sad that our Beautiful America has let this imposter run her government. Their vacations would have fed a lot of people here at home that at Christmas did not have the provisions most of us had. Too proud to accept welfare, they worked and the money earned went for house and electricity payments. Michele is too intent on having everything for herself and family to think about those who pay taxes so she can vacation. How incredible it is, people still say they are voting for him. We need to pray people and ask God to somehow open peoples eyes to what is REALLY going on in America.

  • http://themacdarachronicles.weebly.com Judy Colella

    Good grief. Sorry, but how is his a “headline”? The only thing that’s really bothersome about his current vacation is the fact that his wife was so disloyal to this country that she couldn’t stay in Washington with him in a supportive role until his so-called work was done. Instead, she/they thought nothing of unnecessarily wasting volumes of tax-payers’ money so she could flit off to the most expensive vacation spot around, one that’s so far away that the fuel alone to get there cost more than most of us “main street” people have to spend on our own families when we take one of our heard-earned vacations. And now, of course, a second costly flight must be made so her husband can join her out there. That’s what I find sickening.

    • AlleyOops

      We wouldn’t want them, the first family, to all perish should one plane go down…it’s quite a common practice these days for corporate officers to fly in different planes…I suppose it’s a lot more fun for the first lady to display her talents in Hawaii rather than the South side of Chicago……

  • The collectivist Obama, his nomenklatura and golf…

    Barry is a left-handed hacker (based on video made back when he was Prez-elect playing here on Oahu), but in that sense he’s one of the masses on the golf course. I feel a bit sorry for the Marines and others who would normally be using Kaneohe Klipper GC during Barry’s stay in Kailua because they close the whole course when he’s playing. On the back nine there are three stunning (north-facing) holes along the ocean (& a beach below that gets giant waves in this time of year) and one can often see whales just off shore, assuming the Secret Service hasn’t scared them off. Below is a column I just wrote about Barry’s comments on 60 Minutes in recent weeks.

    It’s amazing that the United States could elect such a man… oh, yeah… and for those of you who know how to use Adobe Illustrator, download the .pdf b/c from Whitehouse.gov and have some fun. Anyhow Mele Kalikimaka!

    _______essay follows_________

    The 4th Best President in American History?
    In a recent 60 Minutes newscast, President Barack Obama rated himself as the 4th best president in U.S. history, behind only Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson. Many observers were left scratching their heads regarding what could possibly have motivated Obama to rank himself so highly after only three years atop an America that remains mired in a severe economic recession that accompanies unsustainable growth in the federal debt.

    And how could Obama rank himself higher than the indispensible George Washington, the indefatigable John Adams, Thomas Jefferson (the main author of the Declaration of Independence), James Madison (who along with John Jay, laid the philosophical bases for the U.S. Constitution), James Monroe, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan to name a few?
    Does Obama somehow not know that our first three presidents risked their fortunes, their physical lives and their families to establish and maintain the United States against extraordinary odds? And that they did this not to gain fame or fortune, but because they knew it was what honorable and civilized men and women ought to do? Does Obama somehow not know that James Monroe established the United States as the super-power of the New World? Does Obama not know that Theo. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson — in the first decades of the 20th Century – fought and won wars while defining what modern America would become? Is Obama somehow unaware that an untested politician-haberdasher (Truman) from rural Missouri inherited the responsibility of fighting and winning WWII (and defining the post-WWII interval) in an era where many Americans had no adult memory of any president other than FDR (who served into his fourth term before dying in office)? Does Obama not remember a president (Eisenhower) who – as the top Allied general saved the free world from Fascism, Nazism and the Empire of Japan? And who, not long after, presided over eight years of an economic boom in a war-weary America – a run that some now term the “good old days?” Can Obama somehow not recall a recent president (Reagan) who inherited a nation in severe recession and gagging on a prime rate of over 20%, who successfully cut taxes and regulations to orchestrate an economic boom – while simultaneously forcing the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the liberation of half of Europe?

    Most contemporary observers with memories of the chaotic 1960’s have no trouble understanding Lincoln and FDR making (a larger) list of great presidents. However, most marvel that Obama could rate Lyndon Johnson highly. The same Lyndon Johnson who lost over 50,000 American lives as he led the United States into America’s only defeat in war in its history (Vietnam)? A president who quit rather than run for a second full term?

    As odd as Obama’s very short list of his betters may seem, it’s not at all bizarre in light of the man who constructed the list. Consider what Lincoln, FDR and Johnson most have in common. Lincoln, FDR and Johnson – arguably these three more than any other presidents including Obama himself (so far anyhow) oversaw massive increases in the relative size and power of the federal government with regard to domestic life in America. These three presidents – like Obama today — marketed their efforts, rightly or wrongly, in the name of the downtrodden, society’s have-nots. Today it’s clear that in the case of Lincoln, the Civil War and slavery, a truly remarkable president made the correct decisions. However the profound and lasting effects of FDR’s and Johnson’s domestic legacies remain unclear. (Sidebar: The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was initiated by Johnson’s predecessor John Kennedy, was overwhelmingly supported by Congressional Republicans, a super-majority needed to overcame filibusters by southern Democrats.)

    Obama’s special reverence for these three presidents strongly suggests that he has been unable to grow philosophically beyond his young-adult years as a community organizer in Chicago – a career that consisted of the organized arm-twisting of businesses while slopping at the federal and state troughs in the name of a self-defined and perpetual underclass. But he presciently detected early-on that such a career offered the benefits of fame, fortune and votes for a special few, including Barack Obama himself.

    • http://ConservativeByte Mary

      Thank you for the history lesson, too bad Obama will not read it… I have said repeatedly..this man is an idiot… there is nothing to be found of his school records, nothing on his birthplace, he evidently never had any friends… other than men like him..has he EVER had a girlfriend ? Why is his past cloaked in mystery ? As for MOOSHELL.. she is nothing but a big assed black woman, who has NEVER liked the USA !!!

    Airforce One and its crew complement. How about $$$$FORTY MILLION$$$$??????????

  • Bob

    And what would make you – us peasant’s believe obama cared how much of the taxpayers money he spent to go to Hawaii on vacation for two weeks it’s all about him golf and michelle so go back to eating your bag of ramen noodles. When he returns i’m sure him and the sleeveless wonder have already planned another vacation hmm maybe the Taj Ma ha again heck that only cost a couple billion !

  • Questionman

    The only ones who use the “worst President ever” about Obama are racists and party hacks.

    You idiots say he’s “single-handedly destroying America” while accusing him of being the “most ineffectual President ever”.

    So which is it?

    Is he a muslim, or a radical black Christian?

    Is he a half-white Oreo, or a black racist?

    Oh, wait. You idiots aren’t constrained by logic or sense.

    So he’s all of the above.

    Only a self-avowed racist who denies the existence of racism could be so dumb.

    I knew I would find all those hate filled tea baggers hovering like chicken hawks on this page. Totally pathetic they trash their president like they do. How Un-American and Unpatriotic can you get. Hopefully when Obama takes the election next year you will all go back to your respective communist nations.

    Scumbag racist cant stand it having a black man as president!
    They can’t have a good Christmas because they are jealous. The Black man is getting all the perks they wish they had but haven’t earned.
    You think you shoul have it because you’re “Patriots”? Look up the word. scumbags. You ALL are not “Patriots” you ALL are “Racists” that’s what you are.

      Hey genius, I don’t give a damn if he is green. Race is the new last refuge of scoundrels. this skin color thing is getting old. You know damn well QM that it is not about the amount of melanin in his skin but about the mfer’s policies and his commie/muslim/marxist/leninist/socialist/anti-Amerian ass is destroying this nation. U can decide the designation you want to use and attribute to us, the great unwashed masses who make America the great/wonderful nation that is is!!!!!!!!!!!

      U need to throw this racist thing overboard. Why did so many Whites support Cain? O I know you will tell me because he is acting White or something like that. What the hell does that mean. The reason was because he loves America and is a patriot. You seem to be a damn socialist mind numbed robot product of the govt schools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        I have found that the only people who truely are “racist” are those that keep it perpetuating. Questionman you are and idiot.

  • ALPHAOMEGA

    Perhaps you have to be a racist to know one. What color was Jesus Christ? Perhaps a color
    between black & white. But does it matter? What is important is that He is our CREATOR,
    our SUSTAINER, our RAMSON payer, our REDEEMER and SAVIOUR. The KING of KINGS,
    LORD of LORDS, AWESOME, the ETERNAL “I AM”. HOLY, PERFECT, MAJESTIC.
    THE ALMIGHTY. PRAISE our ” ONE GOD “.
    There are many who think it is not true, and have a crusade to shout it to the four winds in
    redicule and arrogant manner. Think back through history where the so called “experts”, the
    “intelligencia”, have led this world thru one bloodletting to another; from one global economic
    disaster to another; starving & slaughtering millions, so the few priviledged “intelligencia” can
    live in luxurious palaces, tended by lowly serfdom. This slaughter, many times, in the name of religion, yet, GOD says “THOU SHALT NOT KILL” BEWARE OBAMA. Remember HITLER,
    remember the dictators of Slavic & Serbic countries. Remember SADDAM HUSSEIN, your
    namesake. Remember MUBARACH. Remember QADAFFI. Our GOD puts up kings, and HE
    takes down kings. GOD will not be mocked.
    “THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD; THE SKIES PROCLAIM THE WORK OF
    HIS HANDS. DAY AFTER DAY UTTERETH SPEECH; NIGHT AFTER NIGHT SHOWETH
    KNOWLEDGE”. Look up and behold the GLORY of the ALMIGHTY.

    Pray that there are more Americans that believe in less Gov and take responsibility for their actions. Remember those words ..do not let a good crisis go to waste. Lose your job turn to the Gov. Lose your home turn to the Gov. Lose your health care turn to the Gov. Lose your business turn to the Gov. Who then will bite the hand that feeds you, houses you and provides free medical care. 46 million on food stamps, 47% pay no Fed Tax. The successful Americans who pay their fair share of taxes have been written off as well as seniors.
    America hopefully will wake up and realize that big Gov is a giant beast that continues to grow as we depend more upon the Gov while it devours and sucks the life and spirit from those who are productive to feed the giant beast called Washingfton.
    EDUCATE AND COMMUNICATE. America principles and values are under seige.
