Looks like the recent WaPo story about the Yazidis caused some people in the WH to notice.

“There could be a humanitarian catastrophe there,” a second administration official said, adding that a decision from Mr. Obama was expected “imminently — this could be a fast-moving train.”

By the time he gets around to it, they’ll all be dead.

But, at least he can say he considered doing something, and only a racist would dare to question his sincerity.

Obama Weighs Airstrikes or Aid.

Last ‘aid’ that they were ‘sent’ got appropriated by ISIS.

And if there's one thing this administration is an expert in it's catastrophes.

Obama’s and the “rebels” ‘children’ are the terrorists.
Obama will stall as the innocent are raped, murdered
and enslaved.

Are Americans ashamed, yet?

“There could be a humanitarian catastrophe there,”

If it's anything like his previous 'interventions' the airstrikes will hit the trapped Iraqi's and the 'aid' will be picked up by ISIS as it lands in the foothills.

Could be? Could be?

A real President would have already either announced they could do nothing, or would have announced they had already launched an attack last night.

Obama has no idea how to make a decision, so he is always “thinking” about it, and then gets the newspapers to publish how hard he is thinking about it, so he can get credit for caring and thinking even if he has no idea how to act.

**************
Only Obama could get away with characterizing terrorism as acting “extraordinarily irresponsibly” as he did at yesterday’s presser. Nobody dare questions him about that. That would be racist. /sarc

*************
They are also experts in playing the blame game. He’s always blaming someone or something else for his failures. That’s his first instinct: fabricate an excuse and lay the blame somewhere else.

A real President would have already

A real president wouldn't have leaked what he might do to the NYSlimes, he'd have just done it, and told the presstitutes later.

Isn’t this interesting.

The NYT said nothing about WHAT “religious minority” is stranded on Mt. Sinjar.

They are Yazidis — a religion with Zoroastrian roots.

I’m all for helping them avoid genocide at the hands of Satan and his moongod worshippers.

BUT WHY DOESN’T THE NYT OR OBAMA GET EXCITED WHEN **CHRISTIANS** ARE MARTYRED BY THE THOUSAND???

And why does the NYT downplay their religious beliefs, to the point of not mentioning them by name? So we’ll *think* (incorrectly!) that Obama is helping Christians or Jews?

Terrible story today about ISIS attacks against Christian towns:

http://online.wsj.com/articles/iraqi-militants-seize-christian-villages-1407404503

And all the NYSlimes cares about is that they get to play the WH insider, that's what really makes these pressitutes cream their jeans. They could care less about about the people under threat of these ISIS monsters as long as they get to be Barry's favorite.

He’ll get to it as soon as he returns from Martha’s Vineyard. By then, it won’t be a problem.

Perhaps they could get Jen Pski or Maria Harf to hashtag #HOPE

That should solve the Crisis.
