Barack: White House Concerts Make Up For Confining Nature of Presidency

Wednesday night is party and concert night at the White House. But any night is party night for the Obamas.
Barack Obama welcomed Paul McCartney to the White House last year.

Tonight Barack Obama told his guests that concerts made up for the confining nature of the presidency. The poor guy can’t even get out and take a walk.
The Politico reported:

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama hosted a star-studded array of musicians to celebrate the blues Tuesday at the latest “In performance at the White House” series of concerts.

Obama said in introductory remarks that hosting the concerts is a welcome perk of the presidency.

“Some nights when you want to just go out and take a walk, clear your head… Secret Service won’t let you, and that’s frustrating,” he said. “Then there are other nights when Mick Jagger and B.B. King come over to your house and play a concert. So I guess things even out a little bit.”

Comes with the territory. If you don’t like it, you can always resign and go home.

This American can’t.

When a video or audio clip of the loathsome cur is played or about to be played on the radio or the tube, the sound gets muted or the appliance is turned off. Immediately.

Yep, we all have to make sacrifices, don’t we Obamas? Celebrity concerts in your home, lavish back-to-back-to-back vacations… it’s rough out there for a President.

Yeah, Hussein. If you think the WH is confining, just think how confining your prison cell will be when you’re finally convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors and treason.

Even Rock Stars have moments when the become regular folk …like when their friends die. …..but while many grieving black folk paid their respects to Whitney Houston….Michelle Obama went skiing.

Oh Boo Hoo. What a loser. Obama complains about being trapped in OUR HOUSE when the fact is, he can hop on Air Farce One and jet off to any corner of the earth any time he wants to, at our expense. It’s hard to feel too sorry for him, and it’s even more irritating to know that he’s blowing millions of our tax dollars hiring musicians and Hollywood types to amuse and entertain himself when he ISN’T jetting around to all the prime vacation spots.

Confining Nature of Presidency?

You got a job to do. This is not a 9 to 5 job. Your here to serve the people of the United States. If you want a 9 to 5 job, apply at a grocery store!

Hmmmmm….getting an “honor” from barry, the ass-clown, I think, is pretty much like being “honored” with a grammy or an oscar. Awards are handed out like candy-canes, these days…so much so that they have lost their lustre. Kind of like when His Asshattery was “awarded” the nobel peace (of work) prize! What a complete joke that was!

“Comfining” nature of the White House, huh, Obama? How about the “confining” nature of prison, instead? We can accommodate you, if you feel a need for “change.”

4 more of insane hussain and we’ll all be able to identify with the inability to take a walk. at least a casual one. tough economic times seems to make people believe they have a legitimate right to take what they want. we used to call them crooks. now they’re the economically disadvantaged.

Oh, poor baby. I feel SO sorry for Barry, having to suffer the way he does. The monthly expensive and exotic taxpayer-funded vacations don’t count, I guess. Neither do the endless rounds of golf.

Let’s all pool our resources and send Li’l Barry a condolence card. It’s the least we can do for such a tragically oppressed individual.

Oh, as if Mick Jagger and B.B. King just “happened” by to “play a concert.” He’s enjoying all this and enjoying sticking us with the bills. Enormous bills. There is no way that WHite House diplomatic hosting budget EVER had the money in it to pay for these outrageous indulgences. The entertainment budget is MEANT EXPRESSLY to host foreign dignitaries on high-level diplomatic missions, not to indulge the First Family in lieu of movie night. SO that also begs the question as to which government budget these massive expenses are actually being charged to.

That was great. I think Coulter hit it on the head: we’ve had ENOUGH “Jakarta charm . . .”

This hasn’t been discussed on forums, but Indonesians have a certain self-effacing “charm” that is not familiar to Americans:

Too bad he’s not as nice as so many Indonesians. Also–no doubt he got teased about his ears, etc. Probably called a monkey, and so on. What a mess.

Ah, poor Barack. Thought being President would mean he could get anything his little whims demanded, whenever he wanted. Doesn’t matter that his ass is kissed more than the Blarney Stone, if the position that’s granted him benefits far beyond his merits requires him to check one impulse, he pouts. A decent person would accept it as part of the conditions for enjoying the immense privileges, indeed as a grateful payment for them, but to Barack it’s an injustice that all the unrivaled perks can only try to “even out”.
