Golfer Obama Lectures Congress on Work Ethic
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, June 29, 2011, 12:02 PM
Golfer Obama lectured Congress today on work ethic.
Obama has golfed over 70 times in the last two years and 13 weekends in a row while the unemployment rate has soared to 9.1%.
CBS News reported:
President Obama offered some harsh words of members of Congress at his news conference Wednesday, saying, “At a certain point, they need to do their job.”
Mr. Obama made the comments in reference to attempts to reach a deal to raise the debt ceiling, which the Obama administration says will be exceeded on August 2. Appearing exasperated, Mr. Obama negatively compared members to his daughters, 13-year-old Malia and 10-year-old Sasha, who he said “generally finish their homework a day ahead of time.”
“They don’t wait until the night before. They’re not pulling all nighters,” he said. “…You know, Congress can do the same thing.”
He went on to complain about Congressional Republicans’ calls for him to get more involved in the negotiations, saying that he “met with every single caucus for an hour to an hour and a half each” and “met with the leaders multiple times.”
“They need to do their job,” he said. “Now’s the time to go ahead and make the tough choices. That’s why they’re called leaders.”
He also called for members to “start having to cancel things and stay here” in Washington if there isn’t “substantial progress” by the end of the week.
Mr. Obama then took aim at members for their frequent recesses, saying “they’re in [session] one week, they’re out one week.”
“You need to be here,” he said, directing his comments at members. “I’ve been here.”
“I’ve been doing Afghanistan and bin Laden and the Greek crisis and” - he paused amid laughter from the press corps – “you stay here. Let’s get it done.”
“All right,” he concluded. “I think you know my feelings about that.”
Meanwhile Obama will be hosting the women’s basketball champions at the White House and holding a dinner party tonight.
It’s exhausting.
UPDATE: The Obama family is planning on vacationing at Martha’s Vineyard again this summer.

Eight Hundred and some odd days and the Dem’s still have not submitted a budget. Talk about not doing your job.

As they say in Texas Obama’s “Big Hat, No Horse.”
Stick to reading what Soros’s lackies write for you, Barry. Anyone in society who has the slightest bit of professional experience — assistant night supervisor at Burger King on up — knows there’s not a ounce of competence or meaningful intelligence in you.
And hey, to all you Democrat voters, I guess your Hopenchangen Ideal tells us a hell of a lot about you all too, doesn’t it? Just a reminder: Do not *ever* assume you will be taken seriously again by any intelligent human being who actually has accomplished something meaningful in their lives. You’d better believe we’re going to mock the hell out of you in public and make an example out of each and every one of you deluded Obama believers.
WTFPRESIDENT commented:
AAAARRRGGGGHHH….WTF?????
He really expects people to believe he has been there???? Where? Hiding under the desk??
Give me a break. He is an incompetent President.Period. The only places he seems to be seen is at any Campaign stop to collect donations, or the golf course. Oh yeah…anywhere the private jet taking celebrities are. (He and his wife are the biggest abusers of private jet using)

1.5 hour meetings, on the United States budget. When I think of all the three-day negotiations I’ve had to sit through, for less than 5M dollar contracts….
“They need to do their job,” he said. “Now’s the time to go ahead and make the tough choices.”
I suppose he means, give in and do it his way.

Two words this man would not understand; “work” and “ethics”.
OxyCon commented:
“I’ve been doing Afghanistan and bin Laden and the Greek crisis and”
Obama was golfing during the raid on bin Laden. They had to literally drag his ass off the golf course to get him to be a part of the command group that was over seeing the raid. It’s the one and only time Obama has ever had to cut short one of his 70+ golf outings.
Notice how that quote ends with “and”. Obama was probably going to say “and Libya”, but thought better of it.
paul52 commented:
Hey, BO, how many trips have you taken on Air Force 1 since inauguration? You’ve been “here”, in your quote? Hell, you’ve been in all 57 states and then some. If there was a Dem fundraiser in New Zealand, you’d be there with your teleprompter and entourage. Pathetic.
StrangernFiction commented:
This guy is biblically absurd.
JimmyT commented:
Like most of you,(and America based on his Afgan speech ratings) I don’t l listen to him. When you know ahead of time that all he will do is lie, obfuscate and try to blame, one speech is all you need to listen to. 1/20/2013 can’t come soon enough for me.
INC commented:
Can’t he talk like an intelligent human being and outline plans or policies? Answer questions in a mature, responsible fashion? This is more demagogue and blame.
That’s not even good grammar. This is not the way knowledgeable, responsible leaders talk. The press is culpable in enabling him.
If I were a member of Congress, I’d be livid.
Dan commented:
I wonder if anyone on Bret Baiers Single A panel will call this man the absolute liar that he is. This guy is vacationing every other week, while spending us into bankruptcy, and now he lectures the rest of us and says “GET IT DONE.”
You are the President! Show some damn leadership! This is insane!
StrangernFiction commented:
If a person is an Obama supporter is there anything else you need to know about them in assessing the essence of their character or lack thereof?
Nelle commented:
That’s right, keep on lecturing Congress until they really get pissed, and start doing their job of checking and balancing your azz.
joe buzz commented:
Leading by criticizing…hows that working for you? What do you think he meant by “doing …the Greek crisis”? Solutions behind the scenes, watching it on TV, or helping to cause it?
Auntie Em commented:
“I’ve been doing Afghanistan and bin Laden and the Greek crisis and” – he paused amid laughter from the press corps – “you stay here. Let’s get it done.”
He is the LOWEST creature on this planet. I feel so sorry for anyone that has the unfortunate position of having to pet his ego. I pray his days are fewer than November 2012 and unexpectedly abrupt.
Since he brought up his spawn: His spawn would definitely be lucky to not be incompetent ditherers like their nincompoop parent, but I highly doubt that they are better than he is as they bear the posture, gait, and body proportions of the self-important leeches and entitlement demanders they have been raised to be.
So he can roll up his comparisons and his attitude in a cigar and smoke it from where the sun don’t shine.

Chris in N.Va. commented:
It’s exhausting, positively exhausting dontcha know, jetting all over the country, attending those drole fundraising affairs and trying to come up with newer and more cleaver ways of saying, gimme gimme gimme gimme…
Between that and the ever-increasing time he’s spent trying to improve his golf game, it’s a wonder he has any time at all left for his two precious little photo-op props he somehow sired.
Po widdle baby, don’t pick widdle Barry or he’ll pout, stomp his widdle feet and throw a hissy-fit temper tantrum.
Ya want some gummint cheese to go with that whine, Barry?
Carlos commented:
I can no longer even attempt to parody barry and his daily f/ups. To do so trivializes the dire situation that we are in…there’s no way to laugh about it.
john03 commented:
I think it’s interesting now that the “blame Bush” excuse is starting to wear thin he’s shifting the blame for everything to congress. As long as the Republicans maintain the majority in the house he’s going to hammer this.
jorgen commented:
“I’ve been doing Afghanistan and bin Laden and the Greek crisis and”
Afghanistan: “Let’s cut and run” (4 seconds)
Greece: “Let’s send them other people’s money” (5 seconds)
bin Laden: “Let’s wait another 3 months … What ya mean, you won’t??? OK, if we must, then get the f*cker” (15 seconds)
total 24 seconds.
Alana commented:
He’s throwing a fit about being expected to work on this. He doesn’t want to work on this.
“I have said it, now let it be so,” is his idea of the work required from him.
SeniorD commented:
“At a certain point, they need to do their job.”
Wait an minute, Congress is supposed to work?? I thought all they did was sit in meetings, stand behind someone speaking in front of cameras or sitting around the Congressional Bar.

toongoon commented:
What he means is; he wants them to start implementing his cockamamie ideas that he took a whole 23 seconds thinking about during golf swings and quit fighting him so he can take another vacation between his golf rounds and campaigning.
It really doesn’t matter what he says, he is trying to simply overwhelm us with his nonsense that he comes up with everyday. He knows that some of his stupid ideas will stick. The more he can destroy America the more we will need hin to fix it or the more complicated it is for his republican replacement to correct.
mcc commented:
“…he paused amid laughter from the press corps…”
Wait a minute…we might have reason to hope — could it be the press laughed at Obama when he claimed he’d been doing his job? The statement was so totally absurd maybe even they couldn’t remain quiet.
I’d love to hear the tape. His next words were “All right…” — reminds me of the major flub time when he got lost explaining something about health care and comforted himself as he tried to recover: “All right, *we’re* okay now…” (as if he could make the audience – or his fantasy of a competent self – equally guilty of the flubtastic moment).
I hope, Barry, you’re getting the message more and more of us are not buying your lies. If your pals in the media are laughing at you, well, maybe that explains Drudge’s big headline with your picture: “GETTING NERVOUS” and this:
POLL: Obama 42%, any Republican 46%…
Campaign signals fundraising fail…

This is simple class warfare….The problem is BARACK , I am in the middle class and I cant stand you or anything you or any Democrat stand for, the RINO’s are pretty close also..
I have zero desire to meet anyone at anytime here in the so called Middle… We Conservatives are right 100% and all Dems and Libs,Rinos are wrong..
History has factually proven this!
What a joke this guy is, the worst CEO I have ever worked for, is 1000 times more competent then this bufooooon!
BarbaAZ commented:
The ONLY way obama shows his brand of “leadership” is by writing an executive dictum to the DOJ, enacting by his fiat the Dream Act, or by appointing scurrilous men and women during congressional recesses when he knows congress will not approve of his choice. I’m sick to death of the man who pretends to be an American, all the while knowing in his cold Marxist heart that he is NOT ONE OF US!! A servant of Lucifer sits in our WH and his name is obama.
WTFPRESIDENT commented:
I’m beginning to believe this guy was born on Mars.
tommy mc donnell commented:
the reason we are in this mess is because we have let the politicans take so much of our income that they have more to say about our lives then we do ourselves. the power to tax is the power to tyrannize.
obamasucks commented:
He’s a complete disgrace..blame, blame, blame and then make up stuff with no concern for any truth in them at all. Like, who knew that all the country’s problems were due to corporate jets? If he’d had read his own Stimulus package, he would have known that it was the Democrats who passed tax breaks for corporate jets in 2009.
link@http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/06/flashback-ap-stimulus-includes-tax-break-promote-private-jet-sale
Choosing between corporate jets and food safety is a new low,even for oBama.

Since Obama brought up his children, does that now make them fair game for questioning and scrutiny?
Maybe the MSM can chase after them instead of Michelle Bachmann’s 23 Foster kids or Palin’s kids. . .

I can’t wait for the day when this guy loses it. Really, really loses it.
At some event. At some function. Something.
But he will lose it, and the final curtain will fall away and expose this horses ass for what he truly is.

Can’t.
Wait.
BurmaShave commented:
This faux president gallivants all around the country for weeks and weeks going to fundraisers and giving gaseous and divisive political speeches, and then after just a few days of actually addressing one of the most important issues in presidency he lectures Congress on its work ethic, all the while keeping Congress and the nation in the dark concerning the his deliberations.
Nixon is looking better and better, in fact so is Carter even.

Of course I didn’t watch him, but on the news, they showed some, and that dumb gold curtain behind him made him look like a 3rd world despot tin pot dictator, which he models himself after, evidently! Words can’t describe how much I LOATHE this tool.

In defense of Obama’s use of time, it takes a whole lot less effort to destroy a country than it would to actually make it stronger.
