Barack Obama left for a three-day European swing Tuesday afternoon without saying a single word in response to a terrorist video showing the beheading of Steven Sotloff, the second American journalist to die that way on camera. The president's departure came amid equally deafening swirls of helicopter rotors and tough questions about whether and when the U.S. will strike back in a meaningful and public way against ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. News of Sotloff's execution broke online at 1:05 p.m., shortly after White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest began his daily briefing with reporters; he said four minutes later that he hadn't heard the news. By 3:40, Obama was lifting off from the South Lawn of the White House on his way to a waiting Air Force One, which was 'wheels up' by 4:00.

Obama went AWOL when he found out his Executive Order to close Gitmo was just paper and ink

B. Hussein Obama is TERRIFIED that Putin and/or ISIS will beat him on the Field of Battle.

Putin and ISIS have called Obama’s Bluff, and the entire World is watching.

Will Harry Reid do the honorable thing, as Goldwater did for Nixon, and tell Obama it is time to Resign?

“we are building now a broader campaign plan.”

Huh? Exactly what does that mean? Campaign?

My prediction: Hillary-Warren in ‘16

Should be a cake-walk. The pubbies can’t seem to break free of the wet paper bag of political correctness and cowardice.

Not likely, EGO will not allow. Preening, crowing, waxing presidential, philosophizing, receiving high honors, generally enjoying the hell of what “WE THE PEOPLE” provide, without one shred of gratitude. In essence, screw you America, I won, you lost.

CNN anchor pounces: 'You say "stay tuned," but in the meantime ISIS is busy beheading our colleagues'

And therein is the problem for Obama. If it's just an ambassador or a team of SEALs the press will just say "oh, how can you blame Obama? You're just out to get him. Racists. Let's move on." After all, isn't the first black PResident more important? Eggs must be broken to make an omelet. Protect Obama!

But when the people being beheaded are fellow "journalists" (a.k.a. propagandists) then they expect Obama to get mad, and do something. But instead he seems to be rubbing their faces in his lack of caring. How dare he! And so the narrative begins to turn...

To ask the question is to answer it.

“CNN anchor pounces: ‘You say “stay tuned,” but in the meantime ISIS is busy beheading our colleagues’”

You idiots just don’t get the fact that you are disposable just like everybody else to this narcissist.

Could there possibly be a better way for Obama to support ISIS without being immediately removed from office than to simply dither and dather around and pretend to ignore them?

If I was zero, I'd be terrified some patriotic American would show up, having gotten through security somehow, to ice his azz.

He's psychopathically sociopathic (or whatever ... ) AND two Americans have been boldly and gruesomely murdered in a matter of days and there just ain't no way he can be feeling safe these days ... not with Congress expressing serious dissatisfaction and every news outlet turning on him.

The little boy is all wee wee'd up and running scared.

Welll ... that's MY opinion, anyway

Hired twice by a nation following an affirmative action ideology created by white guilt fed indoctrination.
