[High Praise! to iOwnTheWorld]
I read this interview with Obama, and I couldn’t help thinking that every Palestinian with explosives strapped to his chest has these exact same thoughts – wishing he could move like a ghost amongst his vulnerable targets:
_______________
“Sometimes I have this fantasy that I can put on a disguise, wear a fake mustache and I can wander through Tel Aviv and go to a bar and have a conversation,” he said in an interview taped at the White House earlier this week.
Obama said he misses the “spontaneous interactions” he used to have when he traveled.
“I’d love to sit at a cafe and just hang out,” he said.
“The last time I was there as a senator, I still had the option of wandering through the Old City of Jerusalem. That option becomes much trickier once you’re actually president,” he said, noting the tight security around him when he travels.
“You can’t just slip out and interact with people without having a bunch of guys with machine guns with you,” he added.
Obama told the interviewer he plans to find as many opportunities as he can to interact directly with the Israeli people, but admitted, “You’ve tapped into something that chafes at me.”

“You can’t just slip out and interact with people without having a bunch of guys with machine guns with you,” he added.
The Pope did it. Just sayin’.
He’s tapped into something that chafes at us!
Carefully worded: “The last time I was there as a senator, I still had the option of wandering through the Old City of Jerusalem..”
He never said he DID wander through the Old City of Jerusalem – -just that he had the option to.
Give credit where credit is due…This man is a master of creating an idyllic impression of himself by carefully choosing the way he phrases his remarks, when he is given enough time to craft his remarks. When he speaks without the luxury of preparing his remarks, however, he sometimes makes Biden look bright.
“Oh woe is me! I’m just too well-known and popular! My life is so tough!”
Let me get out my tiniest violin, you 12x/year vacation-taking SOB.
@CTCompromise #3: You’ve nailed him. Remember this?

“Obama spelled out: “I had a chance to meet a young man named Robert Baroz. He’s got two decades of teaching experience. He’s got a master’s degree. He’s got an outstanding track record of helping his students make huge gains in reading and writing. In the last few years, he’s received three pink slips because of budget cuts.”
“Going in for the heartstring-tugging kill, Obama lamented: “Why wouldn’t we want to pass a bill that puts somebody like Robert back in the classroom teaching our kids?”
“Well, for one thing, Obama never “met” Baroz. They were in the same place at one point for a jobs bill rally at the Rose Garden in September. But the two never shook hands, never took photos, never spoke and never communicated with each other in any way that might be even remotely construed as “meeting.”
. . .
“White House press secretary and former Time magazine journalist Jay Carney attempted to gloss over Obama’s crystal-clear whopper about having met Baroz and his transparent insinuation that the teacher would benefit from passage of the bill:
“The president — as you know, he was in a group of people that were — I think he was this close to the president as you are to me. And the president knows his story. … I mean, it’s just indisputable — as we found out again this morning — that all around the country, teachers are being laid off. The president has a plan to solve, OK, or to address that problem. … So I think the principle is just indisputable, as Mr. Baroz himself makes clear.”
I think he should be allowed to follow his dreams, since he’s incompetent at everything he does, he’d explode before he left Bill Ayers apartment so it wouldn’t turn out bad at all.
Secret Service didn’t stop Bill Clinton from “getting out”.
“Sometimes, I have a fantasy or two, regarding Barry. One biggie that is recurring is where he ducks his minders,
& goes on the road to see how the other 99 % actually have to ‘do stuff’.
But, he gets recognized in Detroit as not being Black Enough, and is killed, gutted, and dipped in wax, where his figure is placed in the Charles Wright Museum of Black History, downtown.
They dress him up as a doorway greeter, complete with electric-motor-driven waving arm and a repeating message [emenating from his ass]:
‘Welcome,fellow homies. Glad you could make it today. Exhibits to the left, refreshments will be served during the tour…….’ ”
Is there anything Freudian in this dream?
More sophomoric, insipid insights from Obama. This mediocrity, this nonentity, has the most undeserved reputation for brilliance since Maya Angelou.
I think it’s more like when the Clintons would lament that they were SO rich and how it’s just too bad the government doesn’t take more of that money away from them because they could totally afford it.
“oh….woe is me…I’m just so darn popular famous and important…I really miss the interaction with the little people I had when I was wasn’t so darn famous. All those bitter clingers, bless their hearts, and the ignorant masses who need me to make important decisions for them like how they should spend their money….sigh…if only I could still interact with them to say ‘you’re welcome’ for all the important things I do for them since now I’m ACTUALLY president instead of just waiting my turn”.
“You can’t just slip out and interact with people without having a bunch of guys with machine guns with you,” he added.
Spoken by the leader of the party who wants to take away our non-machine guns.
This reminds me of that lame-ass Bob Seeger song, Turn the Page, where a rock star bitches about being a rock star.
