Not even "present"

Can you imagine a home ablaze with burning flames, with people trapped inside? Pretty gruesome huh? But fortunately one of the family members uses their cell phone and immediately calls the fire department, and gives hope to everyone that "help is on the way...we'll be saved".

Within minutes the gigantic fire truck rolls into the neighborhood of the burning home. However, instead of hooking up the hoses to save the burning home, the firefighters change their tactics.
They walk to the front door of the house next to the burning home and knock on the door. The owner of the house opens his door with a quizzical look, wondering why the firemen aren't putting out the fire at his neighbor's home.

The lieutenant  firefighter brandishes a raffle ticket booklet and  asks the homeowner, "Sir, would you like to purchase a raffle ticket, $1.00 each, 5 for $4.00?....We're raising money for our gigantic annual firefighter's ball". The neighbor of the burning home was stunned, and asked, "You're trying to sell me a raffle ticket and my neighbor's house is burning....what's wrong with you?"

With that the lieutenant firefighter calmly replied, "Oh, no problem, we'll get to that and the other two houses that are burning.....right now we're trying to raise money, and that's our main priority now". As the homeowner started to slam the door on the firefighter, he was asked, "Do you know of anyone else in your neighborhood that may want to contribute to our firefighter's ball?"

Right about now your head is probably spinning, but folks this is exactly what's happening now from Barry Soetero in our White House. This man is not and will not engage in any of the tragedies that are occurring today; the war in Israel, the illegals swarming our borders, and Putin's reconstruction of the USSR. Instead he just does what he knows how to do, and that is fundraising. It's clear that this man has given no thought to the tragedies that befall our country today. He is not doing the will of the American people.

This Islamic radical in our White House is so arrogant that he won't even declare "present" as he did as a 143-day Senator. He is so naively ignorant that he actually feels it's OK to go golfing, spend fifteen days at Martha's Vineyard, fly to fundraisers. His White House aides and fawning media keep on applauding and propping him up, and that's what sustains him.

He has no conception of what leadership really is all about. All we hear is that "no matter where the President is he gets constant updates from his team".  So I can just see him leaning over a 4-foot putt, the phone rings, and it's from Putin, Israel, or Governor Perry to visit the Texas border.  I think he'll ignore the phone call,  finish the putt, probably miss it, and blame it on Bush.

This man just doesn't care about what America needs. He does the only thing he can do. He organizes and attends fund raisers to raise money for his liberal progressive party. He has been a lame-duck president since January, 2009. We all know that Valerie Jarrett runs this country, not him. I'll wager good money he has no idea what's even in his 3,000 page Obamacare bill. 

Can you imagine holding a leadership role in your career, and never even showing up for work to lead your team? How long do you think you'd last in your job? I'm even suggesting that we let the illegals swarming our southern borders be given bus rides to live in the White House. Why not....it's practically vacant now. Another brilliant idea is to make the White House a national monument museum, charge a hefty fee to tour and use the money to pay down the national debt.

The hopeful news is we win a strong GOP Senate and House in November, put Reid to pasture, and let Barry be a true lame duck by vacationing and golfing for his last two years. Just keep him out of harms way.  Only 98 days folks...get ready!

And that's Politics with Pete for today...God bless our country....and our troops
