Barack Obama’s First Words at G8 Summit: "You’ve Got a Lot of Golf Courses, Don’t You?"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, June 26, 2010, 8:53 AM
Barack Obama’s first words at G8 Summit- “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?”
The National Post reported:
When US President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?” Industry Minister Tony Clement told the National Post in an exclusive interview.
“I told him, ‘We would really recommend and love it if you could come back here with Michelle and the kids at some point — we think you’d really love it here,’” Minister Clement said on the sidewalk of Huntsville’s Main Street, in his home riding. “I think I’ve planted a seed in the President’s mind.”
Minister Clement said he personally welcomed each of the G8 leaders — with the exception of French President Nicolas Sarkozy — all of whom commented on the natural beauty of the region, which they observed during their airborne travels over cottage country.

Perhaps he could retire there. Say, in 2012.
gus commented:
You know he sucks at golf too.
Sickofobama commented:
Obama thinks he’s king of the world and all those economic thingys don’t matter.
Golf is what matters, don’t ya know?
Does anyone know why Sarkozy wasn’t greeted? Probably cause he thinks Obama is an a-hole.
snowman commented:
Sickofobama got it right, obama is a a-hole but the French President called obama insane. that makes you both right. an insane a-hole.
Hatless Hessian commented:
Not management material.
Just_Saying commented:
Never thought I’d agree with the French, Snowman #4. If their president called Obummer insane, I agree.

Just_Saying commented:
BTW, if Obummer returns to Canada (or anywhere) for a vacation, the cost for the vacation is on him, not us! (Is that a bill we need passed in January, too?)

TXPatriot commented:
The second this gets out, the guy will be making a walk-back of the statement so as not to hurt the Boy Wonder’s fragile ego.
Sandy commented:
Just read on Drudge that a Senate Panel has approved of Obama’s Kill Switch Plan which would enable him to shut off the internet in the event of a cyber attack (or when we disagree with him perhaps?)
This is paranoid stuff promoted by a small man who has turned the job of President into his own vendetta.
joyiii commented:
As I have said before on this site, “Enough already with the goofy golf pose pictures”. As a golfer, it’s just too painful to behold. Those of us who enjoy the game all know players like this. Someone who’s opinion of their game does not match the reality and who poses and preens like they’re a pro. Wait, he’s running the country in the same way! FacePalm time.
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
Obama will make a far better celebrity playboy than he does a President. Hasten the day.

He’s like a kid in a candy store.
That’s how he’s treated his entire presidency thus far…. “whats can I gets for mes?”

Sandy:
I just sent Lieberman an email telling him how disgusted I am.
I told him he could no longer refer to himself as an Independent, that he is a Progressive and they are the ones wanting to take away our freedoms by giving Obama and his czars a reason to shut down the internet when they see fit.

“You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?”
Seems, if we were looking for something positive in this, that it’s probably better than what Bill Clinton would have asked as he stepped off the plane!
Robert commented:
He might as well talk about golf. All indications are that the nations are not going to continue spending themselves into perpetual indebtedness like he wants.
Kathy from Kansas commented:
Prezbo’s got his priorities straight!
Lightwave commented:
“Perhaps he could retire there. Say, in 2012.”
I think he should be given the time to explore golf courses and basketball games as early as January 2011.
In fact, I strongly believe that should be the first order of a new Republican Congress.

I take it he doesn’t take the job seriously. At least we know what he’ll be doing after 2012.

Obama belongs in Canada. It is where all traitors go to die.
Joanne commented:
This just shows how out of touch Obama is with reality. People have noticed he plays more golf than he works fixing the oil spill, and he still makes a stupid statement about golf, showing he doesn’t grasp how serious his disconnection with reality really is.

Paul_______ commented:
Treason was specifically defined in the United States Constitution, the only crime so defined.
Article III Section 3 delineates treason as follows:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attained.

Is that for real?
It’s not a skit for Saturday Night Live?
Whenever I wonder if “…and the sharks will come.” is only wishful thinking on my part, something like this surfaces.
You really can’t make this stuff up..

Sickofobama #3, Sarkozy was greeted, just not by Clement. These guys are arriving a different times over the course of two or three days. I presume Clement had to be somewhere else when Sarko arrived.

Guess who holds patent for carbon-trading plan
[Former Clinton and Obama budget adviser Franklin Raines owns a key carbon-emissions patent he developed as CEO of the government-sponsored mortgage giant Fannie Mae, positioning him and his partners to make millions of dollars if it is used in any carbon-capping scheme implemented by the Obama administration.]
Scandal Still Not Ready for Prime Time
[“For years, mortgage giant Fannie Mae has produced smoothly growing earnings. And for years, observers have wondered how Fannie could manage its inherently risky portfolio without a whiff of volatility. Now, thanks to Fannie's regulator, we know the answer. The company was cooking the books. Big time.”
[..]
In a Dec. 23, 2004, news analysis, New York Times reporter Timothy L. O’Brien listed several problems that faced the company. They included: a Justice Department inquiry that might result in criminal charges; a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation; a complaint by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight that claimed Fannie Mae was “undercapitalized by almost $3 billion”; and criticism by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. According to O’Brien: “Now, amid the wreckage of Mr. [Franklin] Raines’s tenure, the question is how well the company itself can weather the storm.”]
Frank Raines (Obama’s advisor) Sued by U.S. (NY TIMES)
[Fannie Mae's main regulator sued the company's former chairman and chief executive, Franklin D. Raines, and two top financial officers yesterday in an effort to extract more than $215 million in bonus payouts and fines over their involvement in a huge-scale accounting scandal.]

“I told him, ‘We would really recommend and love it if you could come back here with Michelle and the kids at some point — we think you’d really love it here,’” Minister Clement said…
If this was in response to Oilbama’s ““You’ve got a lot of golf courses…” remark, fresh off the plane, then it was the polite man’s way of saying, “You’ll be spending the summit in meetings, not on the golf course. Golf on your time, not ours.” I admire that type of tact but, unfortunately, don’t possess it.
AuntieMadder commented:
About the photo: Oilbama really should wear long pants…always.

Back in the early 80′s I traveled to Toronto to attend a wedding. What a beautiful city.
In my party was a far-left IRS attorney from MA (born and raised in MA). Her entertainment in Toronto was to drive around to look at the homeless and panhandlers. She was greatly disappointed….she found no destitute people on display.
