Perhaps the Stupidest Criticism of a President Ever Made

Tags:

This morning driving to work, I heard Frank DeFord say the following on NPR.

But here’s a tip to the White House media office. Never, never again let the president be photographed in a golf cart. What is the wussiest item in all of sports? A golf cart – that electric chaise lounge. A movable divan. Could you ever picture Vladimir Putin in a golf cart? You think Angela Merkel poses in a golf cart? In a pig’s eye.

Really? Nothing else going on the world of sport? You gotta criticize the President for something you wouldn’t think twice about for Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Ford (read the white guys).

Mr. DeFord goes on…

I’m telling the president, just stay completely away from golf courses and get back to your basketball court.

Really? Any dietary advice while you’re at it?  Have you seen the President’s thighs? Any thoughts on swimming?

and, BTW, who’s that chauffeuring President Bush around St. Petersburg?

And, whiskey-tango-foxtrot… say it ain’t so!

    I think the problem with the right-wing is that every photo of President Obama sends them into full-blown ODS … and the ones where he is shown enjoying things that only White Presidents (and White Chancellors!!) are allowed makes them even more deranged.

    Truly, Obama Derangement Syndrome surpasses all bounds of credibility.

    Thanks for this diary, Bubba, particularly for the pictures. And traditional media? Shut the hell up!

    Fox “News” “Personality”

    Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle longingly wished Tuesday that Vladimir Putin or Benjamin Netanyahu could rule the United States, even if just for 48 hours, to get things “done right.”

    Guilfoyle rhapsodized on tough or authoritarian leadership during a discussion about the terrorist group ISIS on Tuesday’s episode of “The Five.” Responding to co-host Greg Gutfeld’s commentary on how President Barack Obama is dealing with ISIS, Guilfoyle said:

    “Can I just make a special request in the magic lamp? Can we get like Netanyahu, or like Putin in for 48 hours, you know, head of the United States?”

    You know, you are a twit. And you are harming America because you are making the people who listen to you stoopid.

    Ass Backward Into The Unknown

    Republicans are headed into 2016 the same way they went into Iraq and Afghanistan: ass backward into the unknown and no idea what the hell they’re going to do if they win.

    Their election strategy, hell their plan for the country should they win the Senate and maybe even the White House in 2016, is based almost entirely on “We hates Obama, Precious, we hates him!” while gleefully rubbing their hands together and cackling maniacally – other than that they’ve got nothing.

    Going into this election, the GOP has no new ideas at all, none. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

    The rant/essay is both entertaining and infuriating reading, and the image of Hillary Clinton wearing chainmail will linger….
