Where’s Waldo . . . er, I mean Obama?

Hey mon, he’s in Jamaica. For real. And it’s not even the weekend. Allegedly he’s there to “rekindle enthusiasm” which waned after his 2008 election.

Excuse me? Why are taxpayers footing the bill for Obama to boost his popularity in some carribean vacation spot? And if visiting the “Bob Marley Museum” is the way you boost your popularity, does that mean I should recheck my own polls, and see if they’ve gone up? I went there once.

The link above is too polite to claim Obama went to Jamaica to play golf. But you can’t rule it out. Even though we're well into April, the DC area golf courses are still windy and frigid, and they're playing under winter rules. I’ll take a poll though. Which of these top 10 reasons (below) would cause you to ditch work starting Wednesday night, and spend the next 4 days and nights in Jamaica?

10 – Get my hair braided

9 – Escape reporters questions about discrepancies in the Iranian treaty interpretations

8 – High octane tropical rum drinks that you can pay for with beads at an all inclusive resort

7 – Help my kids overcome their asthma brought on global warming (hey, wait – isn’t it even warmer and more humid in Jamaica?)

6 – What happens in Jamaica, stays in Jamaica, unless you take a selfie with your hook up.

5 – Look at vacation property for when I retire in just 21 months and 23 days.

4 – Get my groove back

3 – Conduct an investigation into why toxic insecticides are used to fumigate hotel rooms

2 – Tired of eating leaves and twigs from Michelle’s menu – craving some “jerked meat”, escoviche, and spicy fried Jamaican patties.

1 – Medicinal Ganja

Any reason at all.

Shame Obama was only there for 24 hours. I think he'd like it.

Why would a "Choom gangsta" like it...drugs are so readily available....

Do you think the President would have a difficult time locating marijuana in DC, where it's legal?

Why do I think he would like it? Because it's a vibrant nation with plenty to see and do. It has developed its own culture and the blend of people is quite a history lesson in regard to the diaspora.

It's a fascinating island. It has problems, most certainly. Nonetheless, the vibrancy, the food, the people...all make it a very interesting place.

Obama seems to have developed a preference for cocaine over marijuana anyway. I think he just went there to squeeze a little more juice out of the shriveled fruit of the US treasury...

Or...you could read why he went there. I realize that doesn't fit your reason for being, but it would result in better understanding.

Still, I do appreciate the musings of the children on the board...on rare occasions.

extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

although obama displays apalling ignorance on a variety of topics, including economics, job creation, foreign policy, and military strategy, there is no evidence that he is a cocaine user.

rather he is the victim of his own hubris, bad advice, and surrounding himself with aides selected on the basis of political loyalty rather than subject matter expertise.

er - i meant to say WE are the victims of that . . .

she's 14. she doesn't smoke anything. I'd know. I used to smoke pot myself when i was young and foolish.

Remember...it is ok for lefty to bring the minor children of others into the conversation.

Unto lefty, all things are permissible.

Pathetic.

your point is well taken. but i enjoy the opportunity to burst the bubbles of those who "expect the worst" of those who disagree with me politically.

one of the most moronic things in this board is the assumption that because you disagree with someone on ONE ISSUE, then we will be opposed on every issue imaginable.

that sort of approach is so juvenile as to be appalling. i often believe i am shooting fish in a barrell when i debate/refute the assumptions of the extreme left.

over a year ago, poor asot, who claims to know everybody else's business, expressed concern that she had no clue whether her daughter, then 13, was sexually active or not.

Understood. That was just a very lousy thing to post. I couldn't resist the observation. Imagine the incredible level of personal, fevered devotion to Obama required to sufficiently get one riled to the point of bringing another poster's child into the conversation...your kid is completely unrelated to the subject.

The blind rage welled up and there you have it. Very, very weird.

Didn't ever see such a post, but I'd never presume to inquire about such things regarding the children of others. That's not only inappropriate, but it shouldn't even occur to you.

Ok, now you can go be foul to someone else...right?

Have a swell day. - and try to dial down the bitter.

Obama discusses his cocaine use in his book. He doesn't say when, or if, he stopped using, so I am taking the conclusion, based on his behavior, that he still uses it.

You forgot to include that he might be there to meet with the leaders of 15 nations we do a lot of business with....but nah...much more fun to make shit up....

Try reading your own links...
