Former president Jimmy Carter told a group of reporters that they should give Barack Obama a bit of a break for not attending the recent solidarity march in Paris, which dozens of other world leaders attended.

“I don’t think there’s any need for criticism,” he said, according to the Wall Street Journal.

“The president sometimes can’t go where he’d prefer to go,” Carter continued. “He’s just come back from vacation so I think he’s probably got a lot on his desk.”

What happened to the “but it’s a working vacation” phrase they always drag out whenever he’s gone for 17 days at a stretch? Guess he was working on his putting game and tan. Priorities, you know.

[Nepeta]

Is this satire?

[caww]

Always time for football

As President...not so much

[FrankR]

He knew he had presidential responsibilities BEFORE he went on a 17 day vacation, Jimmuh”!

We ALL have a pile on our desk when we return from vacation, Jimmuh!”

How about the claims that, “the president is working even while he’s on the golf course/vacation” meme Jimmuh?

The libs are trying to circle the wagons with only one jackass left.

[Irenic]

[GOPJ]

Jimmah thinks all of us are as stupid as democrats...

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Supporting our allies against terrorism is not an important item on his desk? So he needs a vacation after his vacation? Nice try Jimmy-gave-away-the-canal-boy.

Jimmy Carter was President when Tito died, and he was criticized for not attending Tito’s funeral (which a large number of world leaders attended).

[Bob434]

yeah gee whiz folks, poor guy is exhausted after partying on our dime- give him a break, he needs to recoup and can’t be bothered showing support for victims— golly the press has been so brutal on the poor guy! pfffft!

[Sam Gamgee]

Just like Obama, Jimnah couldn't handle the stress of the real world as Prez.
