AWOL Obama Vanishes Again: Three Hours After Another American Is Brutally Beheaded, president is whisked away from the White House – without finding time to say a single word about it Presdident walks to Marine One past journalists while ignoring their shouted questions. State Department's chief Iraq-Iran deputy said 'stay tuned' for a strategy: 'we are building now a broader campaign plan.' CNN anchor pounces: 'You say "stay tuned," but in the meantime ISIS is busy beheading our colleagues'

By DAVID MARTOSKO, 2 September 2014

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.

He gave us fair warning years ago when he said he would stand on the side of the Muslims. Very few paid attention.


Tomorrow I will email different people at FNC and others and remind them and ask if they are going to mention it. I will send them the quote from his book.

I watched FNC from 4:00 pm on today and no mention was made.

Obama is between a rock and a hard place. He doesn’t want to hurt his friends in ISIS so he’ll do the minimum possible. I don’t think he’ll get away with it for very long. Especially when we get hit soon.

How likely is it that, when the terrorists he has brought into the country are unleashed, and the grid is knocked out, and the nukes he has put in place go off, “Obama” will be in the United States?

What did Peter Jennings say rhe night of 9/11 when he was bashing Bush because the ones making those decisions thought it better to keep him in the air?
“People have to be asking where is our President?”

Well, obama is where he always his-hiding. That is what he does. He is a coward and does’t have the balls to face us when the SHTF.

Glad the Daily Mail wrote this especially since Wales is on his itinerary.

Nixon’s VPs were Agnew and Ford, not Ford and Rockefeller.

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

'Tis my opinion that Zero is far more likely to be iced by somebody on the left -- as defined by the group that has developed and is behind the Barack Obama presidency. Zero's usefulness has come to an end and he is now a liability to the furtherance of their agenda.

At this stage, a martyr's death would give their agenda an electoral boost.

It would, of course, be blamed on the right...

A sitting President Biden would prevent Hillary and Sen. Warren from running (except as VP).

If Biden is the Democrat’s nominee in 2016, he’ll get blown away.

I could handle a Biden presidency for two years.

Great idea, people need to be talking about this. I hope that this gets the attention it needs.

Two years of incompetent bumbling is probably preferable to two years of incompetent malignance.

That quote needs to be put on every Obama thread.

Well, I see he spoke while I (and the rest of the nation) was sleeping. Just in time to change the focus for the morning talking heads.

“Justice will be served”. YAWN!! Get back to me when you have resolve as in “Wanted, Dead or Alive”.

WORD on the Street has it.... that barry's inconsolable.

The expected September Shipment has not yet arrived at the white house man cave...

its almost inconceivable that the future of world history rests on a little known brand of beer..

Let’s just say that I don’t have a lot of confidence that the GOP leadership will vigorously challenge the president in any meaningful way - in terms of the safety and security of our republic.

Yep - the folks over at the DU are fairly salivating over the thought of Warren on the ticket.

Democrats elected a man for the tint on his skin - now they want to elect Warren for what she has between her legs? Gimme a break.

The only 'threat' Obama and Holder take seriously is when some black person 'might' have been dissed. Beheading? No problemo. ISIS, who cares? Only when blacks might be victims of whites do Obama and Holder wake up... or stop playing golf...

Now dems want another 'symbol' - a women this time - if elected she'll engage when teen girls are treated badly by the jocks? You think that's sexist? Look at Obama. Look what makes him 'engage'...

I've heard some of her speeches. If she wasn't a woman she wouldn't have a chance getting the nomination.

Democrat are creepy and vile. But they've damage the country enough with the 'symbols of great tolerance'....

Liberal elites need to run people for what's between their ears NOT what's between their legs or the tint on their skin. And yeah, there might be a women who's the best person for the job... or a black person who's best for the job - but Obama and Warren aren't those people.

Thanks.

You’re right...that quote explains a lot. Obama is trying to “kick the can down the road” and let ISIS/Muslim Brotherhood gain strength. I think it’s going to become more and more obvious to anyone with a few brain cells.
