White House: That round of golf after the Foley video was released doesn’t show the depth of Obama’s grief

Oh, I don’t know. He seems pretty grief-stricken here, no?

[see embedded Tweet at link]

Ask yourself this, though. Is “optics” really just a Beltway parlor game? My hunch about most low-information voters, a.k.a. most voters, is that they’d struggle to name who the vice president is when asked. We’re lucky if they’re cognizant of what happened to James Foley at all, let alone Obama’s reaction to it.

About as much depth as the cup on a green.

The Lyin King’s total lack of empathy is symptomatic of a sociopath.

The only time Obama grieves is when Reggie is not around.

He was a frickin’ white boy. How much grief can Obama have?

Yeah, as much depth as Clinton showed ... when he saw the camera.

Four golfers who like to gamble wind up in the same foursome. The pot builds throughout the day until they reach the 18th green, where Charlie has a chance to putt for dough. If he makes his 10-foot putt, he wins $200.
Charlie lines up his putt, but just as he’s about to take his stance, a funeral procession begins passing by on the road that runs alongside the 18th hole.

Charlie steps away from his ball, sets down his putter, takes off his hat and places it over his heart, and waits for the funeral procession to completely pass. One all the cars in the funeral procession have passed, Charlie picks up his putter and begins lining up the putt again.

“Wow,” one of his opponents says. “That was the most touching thing I have ever seen. You’ve got a makeable putt for $200, yet you stopped and paid your respects. You really are something.”

“Well,” Charlie says, “we were married for 25 years.”

Of course it doesn’t. Obama’s grief is so shallow only a helium balloon shooting into the sky could have effectively demonstrated it.

Also:

The pathological lying.
The total refusal to accept responsibility
The constant blaming of others
The passive-aggressive snippiness when confronted
The contempt for other people
The haughtiness and arrogance
The inability to give a direct answer to a direct question
The disassociation with reality

And so on.

Yeah, an electron microscope is required to measure the “depth”.

Has anyone noticed how “optics” has become the buzz word of the moment, much like “at the end of the day” which still lingers but is on the wane?

About his handicap.

Obama’s obsession with golf and vacations is his way of detaching himself from the duties and responsibilities of the office that he cannot mange. It is reminiscent of the behavior of Jimmy Carter. The most famous example is when Carter made his “retreat to the mountain” and then gave the bizarre projection ladden “malaise” speech. Someone should inform Obama the lesson that Carter learned. The grade of your Presidency does not change after you leave office no matter what you do.
