Obama Cuts Trip to Mayan Ruins to Show Off His Leadership Skills
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 4:50 AM
To prove his leadership skills Barack Obama will skip a visit to the Mayan ruins and return to Washington a few hours earlier. This great sacrifice will show the American people that he is fully engaged on his third war in Libya.
He’s on top of it.
(Kimbriggs)
The AP reported:
President Barack Obama is leaving Central America earlier than scheduled, cutting short a tour dominated by the U.S.-led military action in Libya.
The president eliminated a visit to Mayan ruins from his itinerary Wednesday, permitting him to leave a few hours earlier. Aides have taken pains to portray Obama as fully engaged in the deployment of missiles and warplanes in North Africa even as he devoted his public time to bridge-building with Latin American leaders.
But he couldn’t escape the juxtaposition of missions.
The three-country, five-day tour meant to re-establish U.S. leadership in the region.

What? You mean he didn’t have time to apologize for Colonialists ruining the Aztec Temple?

Obama wanted to be president so he could travel all over on air force 1.

The “Grand Tourist” is right. . . . . more like a jumped up, no class poobah though

Obama could cure cancer and youd complain. This is about as bad as obama derangement syndrome gets
Plymouth Mom commented:
@#4, this post really isn’t about criticism of BO, it’s a slam to the main stream media who continues to desperately paint the president in a positive light. Do you really think cutting short this trip by 2-3 hours requires the fawning of his fans, oops I meant the media to report such a meaningless change in itinerary? Oh by the way, where’s the outrage over the military and civilian killings in Afghanistan? It really is much worse than Abu Graib but all I hear is crickets. Oh, I guess they’re too busy cheering his decision to forego his touring in SA.

We’re waiting on him to cure stupid in the people who voted for him.
LL commented:
Are you sure that he didn’t get a really good tee time? I suspect THAT is the reason for an early return.

Obama craves that which he cannot earn……………RESPECT.
Leadership is self evident by the fruit of the efforts. What fruit/accomplishments does Obama have??
Sorry, Obama is his own worst enemy.
He fooled a plurality to get elected. He’s reaping what he has sewn.
powder is dry

It sucks to be wrong doesn’t it?
Obama sucks.
Admit it. The truth will MAYBE set you free or perhaps you prefer living in a river called denial.

Peepeeitus. Obama cannot cure cancer, dear one. He’s not qualified for that, either. Remember, his Nobel Prize was for Peace.
Neil Sorsky commented:
BLOOD FOR OILBAMA!!!
Blood for Oilbama commented:
Hey Bert, maybe since Peepeeitus has envisioned Blood for Oilbama curing cancer, maybe the Nobel committee should award Blood for Oilbama the prize for medicine next year. The peace prize was based on nothing but empty rhetoric so, perhaps, he could get the Nobel Prize for Medicine for some people hypothetically positing the notion that Blood for Oilbama came up with a cure for cancer to illustrate their love of their Dear Leader/Obamessiah?
Can I get a thumbs up?

Oh yes. If nothing else, he holds the greater good of the American people as his first objective. If only the American people knew just how much he HAS sacrificed for them during his first couple of years while playing Prez.
Why, I hear he only uses four golf carts while on a golf outing and one of those is for the Secret Service detail. Unheard of!!
Zilla of the Resistance commented:
Golf & basketball must be more fun than shanty town soccer. Or he someone has clued him in to the anti-Obama protests in South America & he’s afraid that people outside of the right blogosphere might find out that the leper messiah is not as beloved by the world as he wants people to think he is.
Granny commented:
I strongly suspect that this stop was canceled for the same reason two of his Rio appearances were: he isn’t real popular in South America and nobody could guarantee his safety. Given the history of the last two days – first Gadhafi must go, then he must stay – his “leadership” on Libya is exactly like his “leadership” on everything else. Non-existent.
Face it: IWonWTF couldn’t find his way out of wet paper bag with a map, flashlight and written instructions on the bottom of his shoes, much less lead anyone else out of that wet paper bag.

President Barry Le Petomane: “Holy underwear! Libya on fire! Hillary on steroids! Innocent women and children blown to bits! We’ve got to protect our phony baloney jobs, gentlemen. We must do something about this, immediately, immediately, immediately!”
[Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!]
Pres. Barry: “I didn’t get a ‘harrumph’ out of that guy!”
Valerie Jarrett: “Give the president a ‘harrumph!’”
Jay Carney: “Harrumph!”
Pres. Barry: “You watch your ass.”
ExDem in Mich commented:
Empty suit. Poser. Wannabe. Those are the best descriptions of our president. ‘”Pathetic” doesn’t even come close. So much is at stake. I hope God is watching over our great country until we can vote this pretender out of office. Last November we voiced our disapproval. Big time. His actions & incompetence present plenty of opportunity for the ‘loyal opposition’ to capitalize on to their (our) advantage. Now if they will only do it. We can’t take four more years of socialism.

I don’t think “itus” of the peepee is cancer wee one, but maybe you should see a Doctor about STDs.
It’s a well known fact that some of those can alter one’s thought processes and you’re most definitely showing the symtoms of altered thoughts .
