s part of his effort to turn things around after his recent pathetic speeches on fighting terrorism, the president met with columnists from multiple outlets.
The ground rules said no one could quote him directly — but one of his claims is appalling even when paraphrased.
Obama, the Times reported online, “indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments. Republicans were telling Americans that he is not doing anything when he is doing a lot, he said.â€
What? The president of the United States of America didn’t realize how people felt in the wake of two terror attacks because he doesn’t watch enough news?
Pathetic as that excuse is, far worse is that the Times soon removed the passage from its online story, and kept it out of Friday’s print version.
It’s not that it was wrong: The Washington Post’s David Ignatius reported the remarks.
Clearly, someone at the Times stepped in to say, This just makes him look too bad — find something else. Replacing the embarrassing passage was another account of Obama’s familiar arguments against sending in more US troops, or having US ground forces engage ISIS directly.

Obama was too busy watching college basketball for his brackets.
ISIS is the JV team. Chance to ‘fundamentally transform’ Europe and the U.S. bringing in millions of Muzzies. He’s got secret service protection for life and will be a billionaire being on various ‘green energy’ boards of directors.
He watches enough to know exactly what’s going on in the Republican race and comments on it even from foreign countries.
The truth and this man, if indeed he is a man, are strangers.
Even worse, he was watching the baseball World Series.
In mid-December.
yep
The NYT has a pathetic history of lying.
