No Joke: White House Tweets Picture of Obama on Throne
May 12, 2014 By Greg Campbell


For years, the White House has fought back the perception that President Obama acts as a king. Though the imperial president dismisses laws regularly and creates new ones with a swipe of his pen, Obama and his defenders have long argued that he does not operate as a king.

Apparently, that is exactly how Obama sees himself.

In an odd move on Monday, the White House tweeted a picture of President Obama seated upon an iron throne, the kind of throne from HBO’s “Game of Thrones” where power-hungry characters jockey for power.



Though the picture is likely meant in jest, the picture affirms the common criticism of the president who seems more and more comfortable acting as an absolutist ruler.

This isn't photoshopped?

Seriously???
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

At least Joffrey killed his enemies, instead of laying down for them.

Actually, like our Poseur in Chief, Joffrey had somebody else kill his enemies. He just killed hookers.

Good point, but Joffrey did treat enemies as enemies.  If we only had an Olenna Tyrell inside the circle...

Meanwhile, here is today's schedule for The Won. That's right, nothing until late this afternoon. It really is good to be king!!
I'm assuming golf will fill the 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. time slot, more or less.

The more insidious part of this tweet, is childish, petulant, jealousy.
 
The man-child Obama knew very well that the Queen would be offered this throne during her tour. Therefore, he decided to 'scoop' her by doing his own picture of sitting on the throne.
 
Of course, she declined by reason of dignity, whereas Obama in his childish mind, takes this stuff very seriously, and and would never 'decline' to sit on the fake throne of swords of a psychopath murderer. In fact, he would relish it, like a fevered fantasy of a child playing Dungeons and Dragrons.
 
That is all the difference between mature adult class, and a dope smoking, gay, street grifter.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I thought Mr. Obama would be here, but apparently he's off to the golf course.
