Obama’s duty to act
NY Daily News ^ | 8/21/14 | Editorial Board

Posted on 08/21/2014 4:41:37 AM PDT by jimbo123

Americans can only pray that President Obama was as serious as a drone strike when he vowed the United States would “see that justice is done” for the beheading of American journalist James Foley.

While his anger was palpable, Obama’s resolve to rain death on the savages of ISIS was far from clear. Worse, he signaled disdain for the gravity of the moment by going from the presidential podium straight to a vacation round of golf.

Obama will act ... for ISIS, like he did for al Qaeda,
like he did for the Moslem Brotherhood.

And the EXEMPT Congress will hide like the self-serving,
traitors to the US Constitution and American people
as they have already DECLARED themselves.

“While his anger was palpable”

It’s hard to take a journalist seriously when he interprets someone’s emotion as a leading element of his article. Especially if that someone is versed in selling their outrage and then immediately goes off and plays golf. You could say this if Obama had flown back to DC to meet with military advisors. But Obama has demonstrated time and again he’s sociopathic rather than empathic. His words and his acted-out body language mean nothing. They thrown out like an octopus’ protective ink cloud just to hide the real man.

The only political upside is to do nothing. Therefore, Obama said a few words that were in effect doing nothing.

He then compounded the nothing he did by announcing his mission to free the hostages failed. The purpose of the mission was to announce there was a mission. He subjected the team to death for a headline.

When will the military learn?

I disagree, Obama is very empathic. He knows exactly how the common rabble feels and what to say. He just doesn’t care personally, and figures the press will bail him out if he says the right words.

Prayers for all those whose lives are on the line defending our nation. They know in their hearts that if they were captured...that Benghazi did make a difference.

ISIS will get a pass, and Officer Darren Wilson will be crucified. It’s the Chicago way.
