Obamas in Paradise: Boxer-Brief Bombers, Revolutions in Iran, Scraped Chins

By Sam Brand Posted Dec 29th 2009 12:08AM

It was supposed to be a very beachy Christmas for President Obama and the First Family. But since touching down in Hawaii on Christmas Eve following the passage of his healthcare reform bill, Barack has repeatedly been forced to drop the piña colada and tighten up the Double Windsor. In the latest emergency in paradise, the President was rushed off the golf course Monday afternoon and thrown into a speeding motorcade, prompting the nation to guess the worst.

Barack was an hour into a round of golf at Luana Hills Country Club near his childhood home just outside Honolulu when he was unexpectedly rushed away in a blur of tinted windows. From what we heard in real-time through Twitter and itchy bloggers, it was reminiscent of something you'd expect in a Tom Clancy film, not real life.

As the news trickled out, America expected the worst. It didn't help to hear that an ambulance had arrived as well at the beachfront property where the Obamas are currently staying.

But just 15 minutes after pulling into the driveway, the ambulance departed, leaving the press corps huddled outside the gates to wonder about the status of the President. Reporters didn't have long to wonder. Minutes later the motorcade left the property racing Mr. Obama and the rest of his foursome back to the golf course.

Only now are details emerging on the murky incident that transpired on day 5 of the First Family's vacation. White House spokesman Bill Burton reported late Monday that "the First Family is fine." He initially declined giving any further detail.

But later Monday the truth came out. The son of Eric Whitaker, one of the President's golf buddies and a longtime Chicago friend, had suffered a "run-of-the-mill beach injury." Burton said, "Eric and Cheryl Whitaker's son was examined and released from the hospital. He is home playing with his friends and just fine." The boy reportedly did not need stitches.

So, an attempted bombing of a plane on American soil, the nations falling apart, fighting two wars we're losing... Millions out of work, the economy in ruins. And wheres Obama? Playing golf on his sixth vacation since taking office less than a year ago. And before the knuckleheads start griping about my post let me say that I never liked G W Bush. I have no political affiliation. I'm not a racist either. What I am is an American thats tired of his President partying all the time while this country is facing multiple crisis's. Can anyone remember a standing President that took multiple vacations while the nation faced such problems? The biggest crisis this nation faces is its President. The man was a no show Senator and he's continuing to do the same as the man in charge. Obama voters, sorry yet?

Selective amnesia maybe? Forgot who got us there?

Obama should be impeached for his flagrant disregard of the US Constitution. Isn't there any Government official that has sworn to uphold the Constitution that will stop this mad dictator?

No edu, I didnt forget who got us into this mess. I thought i made it clear when I said I never liked Bush, but whats Obama done to fix anything? Ohhhhh wait! maybe it was his stimulus package that put an extra 13 dollars a paycheck in everyones pocket!?

Besides Hussein Obama's numerous vacations he has played more golf in ONE year than w. bush played his first THREE years.

If Obama's health care bill is enacted, will it also cover politicians and the administration?

By David Flodquist

DO YOU REALLY THINK OBAMA GIVES A DAMN ?? IT TAKES HIM 3 DAY TO RESPOND TO A TERRORIST ACT ON AMERICAN SOIL THAT COULD HAVE KILLED 284 AMERICANS. OBAMA'S APPOINTED HOME SECURITY CZAR'S WORDS WERE THAT EVERYONE ON "HOME SECURITY STAFF" DID THEIR JOBS, ACCORDING TO PROCEDURE, BEFORE THE DETROIT INCIDENT. SHE CHANGED HER TUNE AND FINALLY ADMITTED THAT MORE COULD HAVE BEEN DONE AFTER LEARNING ALL THE FACTS. OBAMA IS DESTROYING ALL THAT HAS MADE OUR COUNTRY GREAT.

I just don't get it! Obama stopped his golf game because a child in his group had a minor injury? Was this part of his self absorbcy for his public image? Why didn't he stop his golf game for the hundreds on that plane that suffered emotional injury of almost being blown to pieces? Why didn't he stop his "Presentaton Speech" to address our soldiers at Fort Hood? He may give "great speeches" but sometmes a few words from our President at these appropriate times would have had much more meaning as a "caring leader" of the American people.
