Despite what some may say, there are only 3 explainable reasons that this president goes on so many vacations or plays golf so often.

1) Obama doesn’t have a clue what the job description is, so the Obamas’ think that they are celebrities, and like the rich and famous, they are entitled to take full advantage of all good things in life, while the little people eat cake. Obama wanted the job of president, but since he has never had a real job, never ran a business, or even managed one, knows nothing about running a 7/11 let alone a country, and he’s too vain to surround himself with advisors who will tell him what his job is. So, inObama vacations as many wonderful places as possible, stopping for photo ops and fine dining, and like celebrities, they are surrounded by the paparazzi trying to get any glimpse of how their lives are different from ours.

2) Obama is overwhelmed. During the campaign he was told every minute what to say, and how to act, but now that the campaign is over, and he actually has to make a decision, he is suddenly so overwhelmed that his head is spinning. He doesn’t know how to fix the economy, even Michelle can’t figure out that spending millions in Spain, or ordering clothes from England really doesn’t stimulate the US economy. So instead of actually doing his job, he plays golf, vacations, and throws parties to get away from reality.

3) The third reason Obama vacations, is because he knows exactly what he is doing. He has nationalized the health industry, they are working on the banks, the car industry, banned oil drilling, land grabs, etc, etc. What if Obama is really intelligent, a free thinker, a visionary who really wants to transform this country, can we then add him to the list of other visionaries? There are many, on the list, most candidates have been well liked, popular, narcissist and have definitely left a mark on history.

 

The List:

The list includes Mao Zedong, a true visionary, a communist and radical activist, who implemented several social programs to transform China, never mind the 70 millions of lives lost, the severe famine and devastation. Many today still regard him a God-like figure and one of the most influential figure in modern world history. Time Magazine named him one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century.

 

Hitler, a decorated veteran, admired by many in power, signed a bill which was a bit different since it allowed for deviations from the constitution, and to get enough votes, he made deals with several social parties promising them favors in return. Hitler’s gov’t further suppressed the political opposition and passed a law transferring all power to him becoming Supreme commander. He went on to convince the public that he was their savior from the economic Depression. His social policy and vision to cleanse the country began by killing children with disabilities, and the elderly and ended up killing 14 million people including 6 million Jews.

Saddam Hussein, a visionary, activist, a poet and author, a Muslim, so well liked that thousands of portraits, posters, statues and murals were erected in his honor all over Iraq. Torture, murders, deportations, forced disappearances, targeted assassinations, the destruction of the food sources of rival groups, government-approved executions and rape were some of the methods Saddam Hussein used to maintain control. According to the New York Times Saddam had killed millions of his own people most were woman and children.

Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s left wing socialist darling passed a new constitution which called for an end to presidential term limits. His popularity, vision and fundamental changes "rests squarely on the lower classes” who have benefited from the nationalizing of the banking, education, oil, health and pretty much all other industries. He transformed his country’s poverty level to 72% to keep him in power and recently Twitted to the people to conserve water, take fewer showers.

All three reasons apply to Obama’s reasons for the distractions, vacations and even the daily crisis which surround him, and for your convenience, I have added him to the top of the list of loved, narcissistic, radical visionaries.

I always figured that people who party and play all the time are pretty vacuous. They are surrounded by sycophants who are constantly telling the Emperor and Empress that they have clothes on.

So, they're deluded.

good hub

I wish he would go on a vacation for the next two years and 4 months.

Keep on hubbing!

Vrajavala, it's a darn shame that there is not one person in all of Obama's administration who can be honest with the POTUS.

Eovery, don't worry even when he is present, his mind is on vacation.

You pointed correctly three possible reasons, but I think the answer "All of the above". I think he thinks he is entitled to live in luxury, also he has no clue how to fix the economy or how to fix anything, and of course he has idiotic socialistic agenda which he is trying to implement in America. I don't want to jinx anything, but it looks like he is giving up - maybe that's why he is vacationing all the time :)

Wanderlust, I doubt he will ever give up, he'll just keep trying until 2012.

I'm just waiting for the day Obama tells us to take one 5-minute shower a day.

Can we just send you up to DC and you can tell everyone how to "clean up"? My goodness, you sound just like the politicians I WANT to elect, not the choices I have! We need so many of you. Fantastic hub! Are you making up for the time you were away?

Terrific and sensible hub. I am amazed at the arrogance of this guy. He plows ahead, can't take advice and honestly believes that he is invincible. Obama and his wife remind me of the Pac Man game. They are gobbling up everything in their path because they are entitled.

jiberish, A great write I voted up across the board. When I look at his and hers actions they really do seem to emulate "I've just won the lottery!" yay whoopi let's spend the cash and the hell with work and the well being of any others! His responses to issues like from a General who needs more troops and supplies, are slow in times they shouldn't be. His responses to the failing economy are fast, just throw money at it and maybe it will go away. Just two items off the point of my head, if he had his way I'd be dead along with many others that speak out against him and his, as well as the 1st mad woman who is having the time of her life.

Maybe elect the next president from the "Lotto Machine" where anyone with a few bucks can enter their numbers and if they win they get to be president for 4 years, if they are one of several winners, break the ties playing rock, paper scissors ha ha, 50

Jiberish, I think you are right on target with all three reasons. He proves it over and over again. He only has one skill that I see and that is reading the teleprompter.

Pcoach, POP, 50Caliber, and Pamela, Thanks for stopping in. They would tear me apart in Wash like they do Palin, but I'm much more of a B**ch, so I wouldn't be as nice. Yes, I agree with all of you, they act like they just won the lottery, and the heck with work! Notice that Rahm is leaving......hummmm

Jiberish, I can't speak for America but we have just had the biggest joke of an Election here in Aus ourselves. We have the first ever female Prime Minister and i think that she thinks she is the Queen of Aus. They did a poll on the news yesterday which 200,000 people answered. 83% want to go back to the polls again. Ours is just beginning. She is a self confessed Atheist and as far left as any Communist could be.

Jib...I think you have him figured out. I have researched him a bit but to tell the truth, I scare myself a little more each time that I do it. I cannot imagine one man who has accidently been exposed to so much socialism and communism and just happens to have a lot of friends who subscribe to those principles. It is an evil hour in America.

Wayne, what's really sad is that so many refuse to research him or anything else, they continue to remain blinded by his celebrity status.

Jib, The best reason for going out of the country is that he is NOT wanted here. That goes for his own Party also. Would you want him to campaign for you? H

Harvey, I wouldn't want him anywhere near me, just like the Democrates.

As usual very good hub! You know what I find interesting? If you look at past hubs, pre-election or even pre-healthcare bill, so many people would get so mad at you if you wrote a thing against the wonderful president. Now people are strongly agreeing!! I am so glad they are finally waking up, lets just pray they stay that way! Only two years left I pray we can stay steadfast and determined!

Smarleygrl7, I wish more people would wake up, it will be interesting to watch Obama with a Rep Congress.

This is a riot but sadly true which does NOT make it funny! Let them eat cake they say to the American people! Someone said to me it's a good thing he vacations so often because he can do less harm that way. Yeah - but it's on OUR DIME!

Great Hub Lady!

CJV, the Obama's trip to Indonesia was such a joke, Bush danced with the locals and ate black beans, Obama had a tunnel built. Now Obama is going on another vacation to Europe to further degrade the US. what a guy!

Scary stuff. If only a fraction is true, we are in more trouble than we can imagine. Odds are your not completely wrong. Isn't it horrible that being right feels bad? Its like alice in wonderland. Two more years, I hope we survive.

C.J. it seems Obama's world tour isn't going so well. Maybe he could opt for a golf game next time.
