Naturally, an evergreen story for Fox News is an evergreen story for Stephen Colbert.
And so just as Fox resumed one of its favorite pastimes this month — bashing President Obama for engaging in any form of leisure — the comedian marched right in lockstep on Tuesday’s edition of the “Colbert Report.”
“Folks, I do not mean to sound like a broken MP3 file, but I gotta say it again: Barack Obama doesn’t have the right stuff to be President,” Colbert said. “And I am beginning to think he agrees because he has started doing something far worse than destroying America. He is slacking off at destroying America.”
Colbert’s ultimate diagnosis for Obama: senioritis.
The “Obama fiddles while the world burns” meme has long been a central part of the Fox oeuvre, but it reached a deafening level last week when the President opted not to visit the U.S.-Mexico border — a day after he was photographed shooting pool and sipping beer with Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D).
Lately, the crew on “Fox & Friends” has been on a mission to shame Obama each time he hits the links, although the morning crew amusingly hasn’t gotten any back-up from fellow Fox host Bret Baier.
Baier, it turns out, just so happens to be an avid golfer himself.
“He is slacking off at destroying America.”
brilliant.
Yeah, but the long story about the traveling foursome was surprisingly lame.
So the general Fright-Wingers™ consensus is that Obama should stay here stateside and continue to plea t=with the G0P/TeaPotty folks to do their jobs and draft some laws and pass them to address some of the countries issues, while they continue to say “NO!!!” and do nothing?
WTF, O?
Why do the G0P / Tea Potty folks hate America? Not enough economy-crushing tax cuts for their billionaire friends?
Folks - if you don’t vote these terrorists out in November, you have yourselves to blame.
