I have a question for my liberal blogging friends who occasionally choose to comment here at Talk Wisdom. Please read the following post from American Thinker, and then answer me what would have happened if President George W. Bush (or any other Republican president) did such a stunt?
Obama Attends Non-Existent Soccer Game?
posted by null at American Thinker - 11 hours ago
We are told that President Obama broke tradition and ditched the presidential press pool over the weekend to watch one of his daughter's soccer games. But the story has several problems.
Recall that my previous post shared links that brought up Obama's mysterious actions which were initially explained away by a spokesperson as "Obama attending one of his daughter's soccer games."
The American Thinker commenter's have been speculating about Obama's 41 minute disappearance without the press. Apparently, it has also been reported that the Secret Service didn't accompany him either! Don't you find that very odd???
Some of the speculations regarding his whereabouts included:
1. The daughter's soccer game (now know to have been non-existent).
2. He went to buy drugs.
3. He may have been involved with giving secrets to Russia.
4. It was a ruse to get people (especially the press) away from the White House for some nefarious purpose. Who was let in at that time? I know. People will say that there are logs taken for everyone who enters the White House. What makes anyone think that this lying, cheating, unconstitutional, fraudulent, America-destroying usurper would follow any "White House rules?" He doesn't even follow the United States Constitution!!
5. He had a gay sex tryst. (After all, isn't Michelle out of the country in Haiti?)
6. He went to smoke some crack.
Better yet, let me share some of the comments:

Maybe he went to meet his pusher? George Soros? Vladimir Putin? Bill Ayers? The one thing I know for sure is that the MSM isn't going to tell us a thing.

It is believed that he went to the Kenyan Embassy to stop the Kenyan Parliament Minutes of March 25, 2010 from being released or at least have it pulled by the Embassy People there. Page 31 of the Document states that he was Born in Kenya and that he is not a Native American. This Document is all over the web now.

What better courier for state secrets to the Russians than an unaccompanied Obama? Wonder how much he got for whatever it is he sold us down the river for? But the ego this person has really has begin to show itself as an ugly attachment and what he thinks of the United States and his duty to the country. Pressure the media to find out more. Keep asking the WaPo, NY Times, and the rest of the fawning media lapdogs to dig! Maybe Tina Fey can do an Obama parody?

Obama didn't have to leave Our White House to get to a High Crime area. [Now THAT comment would be funny, if this subject wasn't so serious!]

Every thing about this guy, Barry Soetoro, is suspect. Everything he does and says is just down right creepy. Just to look at him with that smirk on his face. If you look closely enough at his eyes you can see evil and the eyes say, almost out loud, "I'm lying and I really want to hurt you". That's what my gut instinct tells me about O'Barry. He's always sneaking around and you can't believe anything he says. I mean, what can you expect from a guy who's first executive order is to seal his birth certificate and school records? What kind of person would do something like that? Someone with something to hide? That would be my guess.

He ditches the press lackeys and Lady M, and goes away for about 41 minutes. No soccer game is scheduled, the field is abandoned, the press is told to turn around. Sounds like he had to meet his connection alright. Maybe a little storm blew in from Bolivia, maybe a little local "agriculture".
BTW, you are not allowed to smoke TOBACCO in the White House. Rules don't say anything about anything else.
Where were his kids?

We have every reason in the world to suspect something foul when Obama disappears like this. It's not the first time. Obviously he didn't want the press corps following and photographing him. Since there was no verifiable "soccer game," his leaving the WH like that is provocative. He's hidden his documents and most of his history. He doesn't care about the process of how things get done......he said so himself. What was he "getting done" this time?

Well, he sent the media on a goose chase, that's a fact! But the touching story of just wanting to see his daughter at the game with out all those creepy media people hanging about! This is new the Sympathy Card excuse!! Obummer can sure shovel out the B.S.!!

Since Emudude has brought up the topic, I would add that if Obama has found a place to hide he better keep it a secret, he may want to return there.
The Hansard reports that “Obama born in Kenya”. (March 25, 2010, page 31.) [www.bunge.go.ke]
In fact this record of the Kenya Parliament has revealed much about the great love and devotion that the Kenyan people have for their “son of Kenya”. The records of November 5, 2008 and March 25, 2010 alone are evidence enough suggesting that Obama has a great connection with the African country. [www.bunge.go.ke] And should not the question be asked, will the Kenya government ask to see and examine Obama’s long form birth certificate now under seal?

Other problems: The wife doesn't go to the games? Which daughter?
They couldn't even decide on which kid to use as a cover story.
He does whatever he wants regardless of the Constitution or the People.

I think we are being led down a rabbit hole. This administration is very good at creating red herrings. What ever happened during that time, we would need to look at something bigger than just where the president was, and why the press corps was lured away, and why none of the players seem interested in truth. The commentators who mention that the heads of several important nations were in town, and that Poland's highest officials had just died, are most likely onto something. If this is indeed a nice neighborhood, rather than a bad one, I think that hints at a secret meeting, rather than a drug run. But it could have been both. Imagine how much blackmail power a foreign country could have in the white house is they were the supplier for POTUS. But life isn't a Tom Clancy novel. Beware the red herring.

So..... Who did the President spend his time with? In what way will it effect our National security.
Where is the "Transparent" government that came with the "Hope and Change" promise? Oh right, we are still hoping for change. Meanwhile, in other news, Code Pink leader Jodie Evans meets with White House officials and then Taliban members in Afghanistan.... Oh yea, now there is some change for ya, being a traitor is now officially sanctioned, business as usual in the Obama White House. This "presidency" will go down into history as an obamanation, equal to an Abomination.

There is a weird, odd, strange, other worldly, phony, mysterious, nefarious, evil side to this guy. How in the heck he ever got elected without knowing any more about him than we do is a mystery in to and of itself. It may come out someday, but as often is the case, there is much more to this than has been reported. The whole thing just simply cannot be explained away by fatuous love displayed by the media.

I doubt if we'll ever learn the truth about where he went. We certainly will not be able to believe anything we're told, either by anyone on his staff or the MSM.

"He had a meeting that he did not want published"?
Come on! He could have found a better story than the soccer games scam for that, or no story at all. Why not say, the President is busy now - with no further explanation? Or that he is studying a CIA intel document that cannot be discussed?
The only plausible reason for using the soccer story is to get rid of the press for awhile, but why that?

f-stop may have it pegged! Is there any verification that the President actually left the WH? If none, then the issue does seem to be not where he went, but who visited.

Its disgusting that the MSM has done nothing to vet Obama or to keep him honest. A President doesn't have the right to sneak away for 40 minutes -- it might suck, but its the way it is. For the media to ignore this borders on treason. I don't care how innocent the 40-minute mission was, he's the president and he is accountable to the U.S. for every minute of his time. F-stop that sounds very plausible. It also sounds plausible that he met someone secretly. That part of Pennsylvania Avenue and immediately surrounding is not a bad neighborhood BTW. I don't trust this guy one bit and its things like this that make it worse.

I agree with what the author at American Thinker wrote in the first paragraph:
It is rather disturbing when you dissect it.

Wow...The American Thinker commenter's have been speculating about Obama's 41 minute disappearance without the press. So what?
What would you think if some far-left commenters on a blog said that Bush:
2. He went to buy drugs.
3. He may have been involved with giving secrets to Russia.
4. It was a ruse to get people (especially the press) away from the White House for some nefarious purpose. Who was let in at that time? I know. People will say that there are logs taken for everyone who enters the White House. What makes anyone think that this lying, cheating, unconstitutional, fraudulent, America-destroying usurper would follow any "White House rules?" He doesn't even follow the United States Constitution!!
5. He had a gay sex tryst. (After all, isn't Michelle out of the country in Haiti?)
6. He went to smoke some crack.
We would have seen heads explode on the right.
So irrelevant...is this your latest conspiracy theory?
Time to adjust the tin foil, no?
So the President 'disappears' for 41 minutes and that is supposed to be a national scandal? Who was this spokesman who said he was off to a soccer game?
It sounds like those who left comments don't like the President very much. Poor guy. I would hate to have every single minute of my life tracked by someone else! I hope he was out relaxing, reading the paper in a coffeeshop somewhere. Good for him for escaping the rat race for a bit.
Would Bush do something like that? Well, Bush fought against giving up the White House logs of who was visiting. What exactly was Bush doing with these visitors who were unnamed? Was he even at the White House during the time of these visitations? Will we ever know? It doesn't sound like a conspiracy to me. But then again, he also could have been having a gay tryst with Karl Rove...
John and Kevin -
What you both left out of the equation is that the Lamestream Media would have been all over the story if it involved Bush. With Obama? Not so much. Why? Because they are still in their repulsive slobbering love affair with him.
And Kevin - millions of Americans don't like the Resident very much. When someone lies throughout a campaign and comes in as a Marxist dictator to change America from what the majority of Americans want - who could blame them?
Hi Christine,
I doubt any media would be interested in 41 minutes of 'missing' time. I would bet that millions don't like Obama for the same reason that millions didn't like Bush--he was of the opposite party. I sincerely doubt that millions think President Obama is a marxist, communist, or socialist (you can't be all three at the same time anyway). If you have statistics from a poll that suggests otherwise, I would love to see them. The majority of Americans voted for Obama--not for McCain (as opposed to the 2000 election when the majority voted for Gore but still got Bush). As I heard on the news the other night, since when did having the majority party become dictatorship? Isn't that what America is all about--giving people the right to vote who they want and getting that person? Elections are made to do this. We'll decide again in 2012. Maybe it will be Obama, maybe it won't. But you can bet that those on the left will be using the same Tea Party tactics and language to describe the next Republican winner (unfortunately).
So....it doesn't matter to you, Kevin, that Obama lied when he stated that he was attending a non-existent soccer game?
Of course it wouldn't matter to you. It appears to me that you continually excuse him for all of the lies he has been telling since day one.
Hi Christine,
I suggest reading that article you cite and all the relevent info. surrounding it. If you had, you would have seen the update at the bottom:
"Update: The Stoddert Soccer League (club soccer, not school soccer) had matches at the same park on April 10th. See the schedule here: http://www.stoddert.com/docs/STODDERT_2010_Spring_U12_FINAL_-_Rev_1.pdf. Note that the first match is scheduled for 10 AM, which is the time the President would have had to leave the match to return to the White House at the time he did. The estimable Tom Maguire suspects that the 9 AM match was scrubbed from the schedule."
So much for the conspiracy theory and the 'missing 41 minutes.' Again, even in this update there are just guesses--but the original article was WRONG in the first place. How far are you willing to go in believing all of this anti-Obama hype?
Oh Christine,
Maybe you should also apologize for saying this to me:
"It appears to me that you continually excuse him for all of the lies he has been telling since day one."
No lies, so therefore I wasn't excusing him. I just DID NOT believe, without proof, that original article. You did, and therein lies the problem.
