Obama: The President Who Never Works

By Douglas V. Gibbs

On the radio they were discussing how Barack Obama will be stopping by Alaska on his way to Asia, for his first presidential trip to that part of the world. He is the most traveled president, they were commenting, visiting 16 countries, so far, since the beginning of his presidency ten months ago.

If you will recall, last month it was reported that Obama's golf habit was also a record for a new president, with him having played more golf in his first nine months than Bush did during his entire two terms.

Since Obama is the most traveled president, and the most golfed president, it makes one wonder: "When is he ever in the Oval Office doing work?"

I guess that's what his henchmen (and women) are for, which means that Pelosi and Reid have more power than most people realize.

Typical Marxist Oligarchy: The many ruled by the few, and a figure-head that is not really worth much more than a few speeches, appearances, and golf games.
