Obama’s Back From Vacation – Do You ‘Effing Care?

Here’s the tepid little headline from the AP, “Obama eyes busy fall after return from summer vacation“.

President Barack Obama returned from vacation Sunday, ready for a busy fall season Not_Bush_Dont_Careand more battles with Congress….

A theoretically rested president returned to the White House after a 16-day getaway to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, with his wife, Michelle, daughters Malia and Sasha, and their dogs. He played 10 rounds of golf and went out to dinner eight times.

Now while Barack Obama was golfing and enjoying several fine dining experiences, the Los Angeles Times reports, “In a flooded Louisiana neighborhood, residents ride home through alligator-infested waters“.

More than a week after a storm flooded much of central Louisiana, killing 13, more than 86,000 have applied for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. About 4,000 were still in shelters.Obama_Flood_Golf

Residents returning to their homes — or those who never left, choosing to ride out the storm — were struggling to survive. Leblanc and about two dozen others in what Cajuns call “Pont Breaux,” about 50 miles west of Baton Rouge, must still be ferried home through rank, alligator-infested floodwaters by tractors, off-road vehicles and boats.

Compare that to this story from the U.S. News and World Report, “The Undoing of George W. Bush–Hurricane Katrina badly damaged the former president’s reputation. And it still hasn’t recovered“.  Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29.  Bush cut his vacation short and overflew the area on August 31.  The rest is history, as they say.

On the way back, he had Air Force One fly over part of the devastated area and he glimpsed the wreckage from the plane. White House officials allowed news photographers to take photos of a grim-faced Bush looking out an Air Force One window but the PR gambit backfired. Many Americans saw the photo, which was widely disseminated, as evidence that Bush was too distant from the misery below. In a 2010 interview with NBC, Bush conceded that allowing the photo to be taken was a “huge mistake” because it made him seem “detached and uncaring.”

Hillary’s Quick Service Pay for Play

From even the non, too non-partisan (it really makes sense) Washington Post we find, “More than half of Clinton Foundation’s major donors would be barred under new rule“.

More than half of the Clinton Foundation’s major donors would be prevented from contributing to the charity under the self-imposed ban on corporate and foreign Hillary_Drive-Through_Pay_For_Playdonors the foundation said this week it would adopt if Hillary Clinton won the White House, according to a new Washington Post analysis of foundation donations.

The findings underscore the extent to which the Clintons’ sprawling global charity has come to rely on financial support from industries and overseas interests, a point that has drawn criticism from Republicans and some liberals who have said the donations represent conflicts of interest for a potential president.

What will Judicial Watch find?

Huma’s Weiner…

…has too much time on his hands.  Or can’t keep his weinie out of the ringer.  Or keeps stepping on his dick.  Carlos Danger, the Mongoose, is the gift that keeps on giving as the New York Post is wont to report, “Anthony Weiner caught in new flirty online chat“.

First he was Carlos Danger. Now — in yet another sexting scandal — he’s a randy “mongoose.”

Anthony_Weiner_Mongoose_CaptureSext fiend Anthony Weiner boasted of his animal prowess — claiming he was “deceptively strong . . . like a mongoose” — and gave his cellphone number to a college student during a flirty, private online chat on a recent trip to Los Angeles, The Post has learned.

But the joke was on the horndog pol, whose wife, Huma Abedin, is a top aide and close confidante of Hillary Clinton.

The target of his online affection was really a dude.

Are You Talkin’ To Me? About Me? To Me?

From Yahoo News this bit of bizarre, “Donald Trump is ‘totally nuts,’ says Robert de Niro“.  I know.  Mr. de Niro simply portrays a series of crazed, nutbags bent on mayhem.  Quite skillfully portrays, I might add.  And with great insight and sensitivity, tossed in with a measure of menace, too.

SARAJEVO (Reuters) – U.S. actor and producer Robert De Niro said on Saturday that U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump should DeNiro_What_Did_I_Tell_Younot run for president because he was “totally nuts”.

Trump, a billionaire businessman seeking his first public office, has courted controversy with a string of inflammatory statements about his main opponent Hillary Clinton, guns, Mexicans, Muslims and war veterans, among others.

De Niro made the comments to a Sarajevo audience as he presented a digital version of Martin Scorsese’s film “Taxi Driver”, in which he starred, to mark its 40th anniversary.

Am I the only one to note how ironic these comments are coming on the 40th anniversary of “Taxi Driver” in which he was a true wackjob?   Now who’s talkin’ to you, Bob?

Terrorist Dad For Hillary

Another story from Breitbart that proves the adage, you can’t make this shit up!  It goes as so, “Orlando Terrorist’s Father Cheers at Hillary Clinton Rally; Calls For Gun Control“.

Seddique Mateen, the father of the Orlando nightclub shooter, attended a Hillary_Orlando_ISIS_DadHillary Clinton rally in Kissimmee, Florida, placing himself prominently behind the presidential candidate as she spoke to supporters.

Mateen was visible in the backdrop of Clinton’s speech as she paid tribute to the police officers and victims of the shooting.

TwilightZone_Imagine_If_You_WillImagine, if you will, a KKK Grand Poobah named David Duke endorsing Donald Trump….

How would the The Atlantic handle it?  “How Donald Trump Opened the Way For David Duke’s Return“?

“Between Donald Trump parroting some of his campaign themes and the racial turmoil in Baton Rouge, he must have … said, ‘It’s Duke time!’”

Or the Washington Post?  “Donald Trump and David Duke: For the record“.

Hillary’s Lemmings

Unlike most other top Republican officials, Trump generally does not couple his statements about Duke with a firm condemnation of Duke’s views. Instead, his answers are often reactive, such as “I would do that [repudiate Duke], if it made you feel better.”

Or Politico? “David Duke defends Trump, blames Jews for judge criticism“.

Former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke defended Donald Trump on his radio show earlier this week from criticism of his comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, blaming “the Jews” in the media for propagating a long-running negative agenda against the presumptive Republican nominee.

Personally, I think snowballs will be thriving in Hell before the Main Stream Media starts asking Hillary Clinton why an ISIS loving, mass murdering, Radical Islamic Terrorist’s father is sitting behind her cheering her on in a political rally?
