Instead of Watching Embassies Burn Obama Watches Football Last Weekend

We are told that President Obama watched a lot of football this weekend. I guess it was more fun than attempting to deal with our embassies burning in the Middle East and our soldiers being killed in Afghanistan.

The newsflash is courtesy of Amy Gardner’s twitter feed. Gardner, the White House reporter for the Washington Post, reports that the press gaggle on Air Force One reported that Obama spent his time watching football.

President Obama didn’t watch SNL season opener this weekend; watched a lot of football, per Josh Earnest on AF1 gaggle.

Must be nice to take time away from the pressing duties of being president to relax and watch a little football. But one wonders when this president actually takes time to undertake any of those pressing duties between golf, football, bowling in the White House bowling alley, and flying about the country for daily fundraising events?

But it isn’t just football he spends time watching. Obama himself has admitted that he hides in the Oval Office under the pretense of “working” but is instead watching the Showtime TV show, “Homeland.”

Meanwhile, as the President skips his daily intelligence briefings and concerns himself with TV entertainment, U.S. diplomats at our Beirut embassy are burning classified files in anticipation of being attacked, four more U.S. soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan by Afghanis pretending to be Afghan police, the Chicago teachers strike goes into a second week, and relations with Israel have never been worse.

    A man’s got to know his limitations. Perhaps Barry has finally figured out what he’s good at………..besides campaigning.

    Roger Kimball said it best, yesterday, while writing about the blind sheikh being transferred to Egypt…

    “Will there ever be a last straw for the MSM that is acting as Obama’s press corps? Is there anything Obama could do that would make them say “Enough!”

    Apparently, the answer is NO.

      I agree. They’ve become so invested in getting him reelected – perhaps more correctly, sticking it to the reichwing teabagger rethuglikkkans – that he really CAN do no wrong in their eyes.

    Never has such brainless buffoonery been on display at the Presidential level. Barry is all about whats good for him and his ass kissing chronies.

    To hell with the country and everything else.

    The Chicago teachers strike is a local issue, not a national one. So, why mention it in a post about President Obama? He didn’t cause the strike. He has no control over what that teachers’ union does. He has no control over what the Chicago School District does. Trying to hold President Obama accountable for something that he is clearly not accountable for is a bridge too far.

      Yeah Warner. Stop going off topic in your article. David is here to ensure that everyone stays on topic and that includes in the original article.

        Jim, I want President Obama out of the White House just as much as you do.

        However, I also promote fair play, and, in my opinion, trying to connect President Obama to the teachers strike isn’t fair play.

        • jim_m

          Meh. obama takes a personal interest in misdemeanor arrests in Massachusetts. His NCAA bracket is national news. He has nothing to say about the first teacher’s strike in 25 years in his home town? This man opines on everything under the sun.

          My only guess is that he can’t figure out whether he should support his one time chief of staff or if he should support the commie union chief.
