Patriot Politics

Shockingly, President Obama is planning a trip abroad to lobby for America.  Oh, wait.  It’s with the Olympic Committee.  Sorry, I got a little excited thinking of the possibilities.  It’s just so cool to think that the Pres would be pumping our cred with potential allies or something kind of overtly political.

How about this, Barry?  Next time, why not save the taxpayers some stimulus and minimize your carbon footprint to boot?  How, you say?  Stand up in front a couple hundred nincompoops and terrorists (that would be the United Nations General Assembly, full of oxymorons) and root for the home team.  Somebody who’s in constant campaign mode shouldn’t find that so HARD.

Here we see an incredulous journo (how did they let her in the WH Press Corps?  I’ll bet we don’t ever see HER again) trying to get Gibbs to “close the logic loop” on all this at about 1:40 minutes in.

How did we get here?  What are we, idiots here?

Since when does a sitting President, with more important meetings – like those with his Generals who are on the ground in Afghanistan, where our kids are getting shot at, you know, those more important meetings – with a war and building nuclear crisis, not to mention the mother of all deficits and a socialist overhaul to sell go across the globe to beseech the Olympic Committee?

Are you kidding me?

Let’s see:  Support for domestic agenda plummeting?  Check.

Afghanistan strategy ineffective.  Check.

U.N. speech underwhelming with its annoying apologia.  Check.

Iran fires missiles in response to verbal rebuke.  Check .

Key adviser stands to gain financially from Chicago venue.  Check.

When you’ve lost Newsweek, you must really want to leave town.
