Un-Corked!

by Darryl — Thursday, 8/8/13, 6:03 pm

I was laughing out loud listening to this NPR interview with Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN).

Sen. Corker is oh so concerned about the fact that the Obama Administration is undertaking covert actions in “foreign policy” and, specifically, Syria, Pakistan, and Yemen. Sen. Corker whines that the Senate has been marginalized in foreign policy (really, security) issues.

The Obama Administration is, of course, using the exact same powers granted to the Bush Administration by the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force.

Shorter Sen. Corker (in Southern drawl): “When we eagerly granted the President unprecedented powers to undertake covert foreign actions without oversight, we didn’t realize the scary Black guy with a Muslim-ey sounding name would get to use it, too!”

    Yeah. Don’t those uppity Obama’s know that real Americans have estates in Kennebunkport?

    The proper place to be when an American city dies is the million dollar ranch bought from the proceeds of a failed energy corporation, the sale of a baseball teams after seizing stadium ground under eminent domain and a large inheritance.

    Those haughty Obama’s should be vacationing in their home state of Hawaii…er…wait…too nice.

    Soon enough…

    Kennebunkport is also the summer home of former U.S. President George H. W. Bush, father of former U.S. President George W. Bush. First built by Bush’s maternal grandfather George Herbert Walker, it has been a family home ever since, and has been owned by Bush since shortly before becoming Vice President in the 1980s.[citation needed] During his presidency, Bush often invited world leaders, from Margaret Thatcher to Mikhail Gorbachev, to Kennebunkport. In 2007, his son George W. Bush invited Vladimir Putin and Nicolas Sarkozy. The Bush compound is on Walkers Point, called Point Vesuvius prior to the Walker family’s acquisition
