But, coming from a man who is on an epic power grab with his unconstitutional abuse of presidential executive orders, this water grab to feed his desire to golf should come as no surprise.
Jennifer Burke, TPNN Online Editor — Barack Obama traveled to California over Valentine’s Day weekend for a ‘boys’ outing’. As typical, this trip with the boys included golfing at some of California’s most prestigious golf courses. Prior to his golfing days, he took some time to speak in Fresno, CA about the importance of ‘shared sacrifice’, code words for communism, in order to battle the state’s ‘worst water shortage in decades’. As Americans have come to expect, this lecture by Obama was followed by hypocrisy demonstrating that the rules and expectations that he speaks about simply do not apply to him. The clear evidence of his hypocrisy can be seen in his travel schedule. After his speech condemning the over usage of water, he traveled to Palm Springs for his weekend of fun at water guzzling golf courses.Obama played three rounds of golf on two exclusive courses in this area. Golf courses in this area, including the ones where Obama played, are the biggest water guzzlers in that desert section of California accounting for 17% of all water used.
Time Magazine’s Swampland section details the blatant hypocrisy by Obama, who they dub as the ‘duffer-in-chief’.
Vacationing with DVDs of his favorite television shows and multiple golf outings with his buddies, the duffer in chief played at two of the most exclusive courses in the Palm Springs area. On Saturday, Obama played at the Sunnylands estate, built by the late billionaire Walter Annenberg, which features a nine-hole course that is played like 18 holes. The following day he golfed at billionaire Oracle founder Larry Ellison’s 19-hole Porcupine Creek. On Presidents’ Day, Obama hit the links at Sunnylands once again.
The 124 golf courses in the Coachella Valley consume roughly 17% of all water there, and one-quarter of the water pumped out of the region’s at-risk groundwater aquifer, according to the Coachella Valley Water District. Statewide, roughly 1% of water goes to keep golf courses green. Each of the 124 Coachella Valley courses, on average, uses nearly 1 million gallons (3.8 million L) a day because of the hot and dry climate, three to four times more water per day than the average American golf course.
Perhaps Obama should heed his own words and put what he preaches into practice. In his lecture on water usage to the people of California, his tone deafness is startling.
“It can’t just be a matter of there’s going to be less and less water so I’m going to grab more and more of a shrinking share of water,” Obama said on Friday in Los Banos. “Instead what we have to do is all come together and figure out how we all are going to make sure that agricultural needs, urban needs, industrial needs, environmental and conservation concerns are all addressed.”
But, coming from a man who is on an epic power grab with his unconstitutional abuse of presidential executive orders, this water grab to feed his desire to golf should come as no surprise. His actions are a clear indication that the fear-mongering and calling for ‘shared sacrifice’ to conserve water are words. Just words. Just speeches. Nothing will stop him from moving forward with his agenda to play golf, not even a drought, one, incidentally, caused in large part by California regulations. » Full Article

» Kathleen Sebelius Calls CBO Report on Obamacare Job Losses ‘A Myth’
Obama Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius rejected a recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projection of millions of job losses being caused by Obamacare as “a myth,” and said there is “absolutely no evidence” of job losses or cutbacks related to the massive health care law. Sebelius even goes as far to contend that “every” economist agrees with her.» Obama Wants to Waste a Billion on “Climate Change”
Barack Obama will be remembered for many things during his two terms in office, but high on the list, right after lying to everyone about everything, will be his determination to waste billions of taxpayer dollars on every Green scheme from solar and wind energy to electric cars, and now on “climate change.”» Amazing Video: Civilian Pilots Honor Fallen Heroes with Flyover when Government Refuses
It’s no secret that when it comes to priorities, the plight of veterans and active military personnel is far down on the list for the Obama Administration and his fellow Democrats. As Democrats use our national heroes as bargaining chips and pawns in their twisted games of chicken, Americans have stood by and witnessed 90-year-old veterans locked out of their war memorials due to political squabbling; we have seen a flagrant disregard for their healthcare needs. Thankfully, most Americans are not so flippant about the plight of veterans.TPNN VIDEO CHANNEL
