Poor Barry. Just trying to take a long, long vacation, play a few rounds, and those darned lobbyists keep bugging him. Can you imagine the way the press would have treated Bush in 2000, or, heck, McCain had he not blown the election, if he was taking a long vacation as there was a financial meltdown and now an Israel-kicking-Hamas-butt offensive going on?
After loading his clubs onto a cart, Obama, wearing sunglasses, a white shirt, khaki shorts, white and brown golf shoes, and a red baseball cap emblazoned with the City and County of Honolulu’s Ocean Safety logo, drove down to the driving range….
I also heard his skivvies were tighty whities and his socks were Nike brand with reinforced heels!
Prior to leaving for the course at about 11 a.m., a group of five people approached the security checkpoint set up by the U.S. Secret Service and Honolulu police carrying a box wrapped with a gold ribbon. The group, led by Fred and Pat Shepherd from Greenbrae, Calif., and Robert Steiver, 65, of Honolulu, asked the Secret Service if they could deliver the box and a letter to Obama.
The Secret Service said negative. And the Shepards, clueless Palestinian activists, actually are quoted as saying they didn’t believe Barry is on vacation, but working to learn to be President. Uh huh. The DVD is all about how Israel and the Jews are evil, and the Palestinians are good people. Snicker.
Anyhow, Israel has rejected a truce, and says they will continue until Hamas is crippled. And, as you could easily predict, the world, made up of raging progressives/Jew haters, are rallying around those poor Palestinian jihadis.
Pam Gellar has a great roundup of photos from protests.
And, of course, we have American liberal bloggers, such as Firedoglake and Buck Naked Politics, taking the side of the Palestinians. Larry Johnson at No Quarter thinks that Israel just has to sit back and take the attacks by Hamas. He says they can use counter-battery fire, but, that is it. Hey, Larry, Hamas wanted a war, now they are getting their wish. Maybe if they stop surrounding themselves with civilians…..
