Fore!
Barack Obama and Mayor Michael Bloomberg met today to discuss the wrecked economy… over a game of golf.
They care.
The New York Daily News reported:
Mayor Bloomberg flew up to Martha’s Vineyard after this morning’s regular radio appearance to play a round of golf and talk about the economy with President Obama, we now hear…
Update from the White House pool reporter: “Potus is golfing with Mayor Bloomberg today, and they prefaced their game with a 15-minute discussion of the economy in the clubhouse at the Vineyard Golf Club. Seeking more details. CBS’s Mark Knoller, hailed by many including the WH for his command of presidential data, says the two men have not golfed together before. After their conversation they headed to the driving range, and then the links. Also in the foursome: Vernon Jordan and trip director Marvin Nicholson.”
Update 2: “The President and Mayor Bloomberg took the opportunity to discuss plans for short- and long-term economic growth at a pivotal point in our recovery,” said White house spokesman Reid Cherlin. Potus invited the Mayor about a week ago. The mayor met potus at the golf club — he did not travel with him in the motorcade.”

“The President and Mayor Bloomberg took the opportunity to discuss plans for short- and long-term economic growth at a pivotal point in our recovery,” for 15 minutes.
What long-term plans could they discuss in 15 minutes?

15 minutes for the economy, 3 hours for golf.

THE REAL NEWS ON BLOOMBERG & OBAMA
It’s all business, boys and girls.
Bloomberg privately owns 85% of the limited liability corporation, Bloomberg LLC.
Bloomberg intends to expand Bloomberg LLC, in its Dubai financial center, to become a regional hub for the United Arab Emirates.
Since 2007, before his election as President, Obama has worked with Bloomberg to support Sharia-compliant finance in order to complete the goals of Bloomberg LLC and future US financial involvement in the UAE.
The Dubai regional center will allow Bloomberg access to Islamic sharia-based banking and monetary systems by developing a sharia-compliant finance portal. According to the regional head of Bloomberg LLC’s Middle East and South Asia centers, Max Linnington:
” . . . Particularly since the meltdown of the western capitalist system, there has been an increasingly large focus on the virtues of Islamic finance. Today, there is no one single provider of information that caters to the Islamic finance market. So by Bloomberg being here, we are in the process of building out an Islamic finance product. We are very confident that we can build a product that meets the needs of the market right now.”
The details, worked out through years of planning, do not include you, America. The American system of finance is being chucked.
Still have any questions about Bloomberg’s position on the NYC mosque?
Scott commented:
The child in chief plays games with his friends while Americans deal with a “Washington created” 100 year economic crisis…HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and a host of others with their accomplices on Wall Street blew up our housing industry and the larger economy with spectacular results…Don’t forget Jimmy Carter with the Community Reinvestment act and Bill Clinton who rallied the democratic Senate to defeat the House Republican’s balanced budget amendment…Fools, Charlatans, Grifters, and thieves who have ransacked the greatest country in the history of the world. A hundred years ago they would have all been tarred, feathered and run out of town if not hanged. Now, they plays games, make millions selling access and live out their wildest fantasies on the taxpayers credit card.

I’m so glad that Obama and Bloomberg could take fifteen minutes out of their vacation plans to discuss the economy. I mean it’s not like there’s any major problems that need solving. Obama golfs as America burns. What a campaign slogan.
jbinnout commented:
I think some one misunderstood the before round discussion. The economics involved the winnings per hole, sand saves, closest to the pin, mulligan penalties, total holes won per side and round. ect
soylent green commented:
The unspeakable awfulness of Barack Hussein Obama, made manifest (once again) on a golf course.
Mmmm. Mmmm. Mmmm.
Which one, I wonder, is deeper in the pockets of the Saudis?
jetstream commented:
That meeting was yesterday, Jim. It was also the very same day that Bloomberg’s comptroller, John Liu, blithely announced he was considering approving public funding for the Ground Zero Mosque. In the face of overwhelming public outcry against its construction.
Yesterday, of course, was a Friday.
jorgen commented:

Yeah, they discussed how they could waste even more billions of other people’s money.
Stuart commented:
Yet one more “let them eat cake” moment.
BurmaShave commented:
It doubtlessly was also a good occasion to compare notes for how to ram the Ground Zero Mosque down the bigoted peasants’ throats.
James commented:
Two clueless libs

Now for the truth: They discussed, how to get tax exempt government funding for the Islamic Jihad Mosque, and how to continue to get rich at the expense of Americans. Go to hell, Bloomberg, and Obama.

Earth to MSM, Oblooma et al..
Memo to the MSM on Imam Rauf
by Abdur-Rahman Muhammad
August 24, 2010
[Let us remember that the project organizers themselves created this controversy by announcing that the groundbreaking would take place
on the ten-year anniversary of the attack, and that the exact site was selected because of its proximity to Ground Zero. Given that fact, the current media meme that this is not a "Ground Zero mosque" is dishonest spin.
Even more dishonest — and dangerous to this country — is the outrageously biased work in Time, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and Newsweek, and on NPR, PBS, MSNBC and CNN that has consistently portrayed popular opposition to this mosque and several other mosques around the country as evidence of bigotry and so-called "Islamophobia." This is mass libel by these media institutions.
The mainstream media has deliberately ignored the fact that there is legitimate basis for fear of mosques — as it is a demonstrable fact that mosques and Muslims have been disproportionately connected to terrorism in this country and around the world, a fact that the media won't report. Moreover, in the examples of opposition to specific mosques chosen by the media as evidence of popular "bigotry," the media has selectively ignored
the openly available evidence showing unambiguously that these mosques
or their officials are connected to or supportive of the radical Muslim Brotherhood (the parent of al-Qaeda), Hamas, and other radical Islamic fundamentalist organizations.
Why have these media institutions not investigated these ties? Why does the media investigate American charities that support settlements in the West Bank, but refuse to investigate the militant and terrorist ties to mosques and Islamic groups here at home?
The imam heading up this $100 million project, Faisal Abdul Rauf, enjoys the full support of the sympathizing left-leaning media, and together they have attempted to frame this fight as a First Amendment issue. They've worked to cast the opponents of the project — including the 9/11 families — as bigots bent on denying "peaceful Muslims" the "right" to build a facility on their own property. All of this is sheer nonsense, because as many commentators already noted this week, the right to build the mosque was never in question — only the appropriateness of putting it near Ground Zero. It is simply not possible, and indeed quite dishonest, to characterize 70 percent of the population as bigots and "Islamophobes," despite what the media would have us believe.
[..]
If some Americans are suspicious and fearful of Muslims, it’s not without good reason, and nothing their self-appointed leadership has done or said in the nine years following 9/11 has allayed those fears. Non-Muslim Americans have yet to see any clean line of demarcation between radical and moderate Muslims. Everywhere around the globe Muslims are the cause of so much bloodshed and turmoil, making life on this planet a living hell.
What are people to think when they see a group of World Cup fans blown
up in Uganda by Somali Muslim psychopaths? Closer to home, a U.S. Army Major shoots his fellow soldiers! What are they to make of a Pakistani national given U.S. citizenship just last year attempting to set off a car bomb in Times Square? And the self-taught “American” sheikh, Anwar al-Awlaki, who from his cave somewhere in Yemen calls on Muslims to murder Americans, and they listen?
The underlying problem in this bitter controversy is that Muslims in America suffer a deserved trust deficit, wherein they are seen as a foreign and dangerous element. Perhaps if the $100 million being spent on this mosque were used to build, say, a hospital, this perception would begin to change.]
Amen again & again..
