Washington, D.C.
People are so worried about Baraq Obama continuing the pretense of his Presidency after it’s over on January 20. Rush Limbaugh has suggested that he’s going to want to continue living in D.C. so that when his successor does something that he thinks is going to alter his “legacy,” he’ll call press conferences and bitch and moan and whine, and of course the Washington press corps will treat him like he’s still President. That Obama is renting a D.C. house from former Clinton era Press Sexretary Joe Lockjaw would seem to point to that sort of thing. Except for two things: One, Obama has said it himself that the only reason he’s staying is so the younger daughter can finish high school at Sidwell Enemies, as he doesn’t want her to have to change schools. Once she’s off to Harvard, then he’ll leave D.C. Two, Obama is lazy, he’s the type that enjoys life more than working hard. I don’t think he’s going to much care about his “legacy” after January 20, especially if doing so would cut into his golfing time. My theory is that on December 31, 2017, at the end of his first calendar year out of office, the media will be aghast over how it was even physically possible for one man to play that much golf.
Now that that day is almost here, I just want to know if any of you in the peanut gallery has seen anything to prove me right or wrong or somewhere in between.
I am actually a little shocked at how little coverage he has gotten over the last year. I honestly thought he would have been a bigger press draw than he has been. Guess Trump has consumed them more than I thought he could.
I’m actually surprised in the other direction, that he actually engaged in what little public theatrics he bothered to do. Like I wrote, then and now, I figured it would be all golf all the time.
You are right about BO being lazy; his disappearance from public life is mostly due to him not giving a damn about the country, his ‘legacy’ or most of the rest. You are incorrect that the press would be suddenly surprised by how much golf he plays. They knew all along.
