US President Barack Obama admitted he should have expected to be criticized for hitting the links on the same day that he addressed the beheading of American journalist James Foley and spoke with his family. ´Part of this job is also the theater of it,´ he told NBC News´ Chuck Todd. ´Well, it´s not something that always comes naturally to me. But it matters. And I´m mindful of that.´ He added: ´I should have anticipated the optics´ of playing golf. Obama, who was on vacation at the time of Foley´s murder, was heavily criticized for heading to the golf course

The one thing I don’t understand is how it is possible that Progressive Leftists managed to elect such an utter dangerously incompetent, ignorant boob, and yet they still have the temerity to retain their sanctimonious arrogance as they look down their noses at those of us who reject Progressivism after its 100 years of demonstrable failure, war and economic disaster.

Affirmative Action.

.........looking at that picture you posted, I can’t help but be impressed with how brave the young man is conducting himself moments before certain death and in a most hideous way knowing his family was going to see it on a u tube and likely the same day it happened...............

Now that these bastards claim to be a “State”..........we must declare war on them and unleash hell on them like we did the Japs and the Nazis! What they did to this American Citizen, and the other one, was an Act of War!

Well, thank you presidink Obozo for those VERY IMPORTANT words.

The SOB couldn't lead 3 girl scounts out of a crowded McDonald's with the help of a Seal team.

Obozo... the ONLY president since Jimmy Carter who could SCREW UP a free lunch at a Sunday school picnic.

Hey,

I’m pretty sure Mom Jean Pants has been taking care of:

“Putting in a full work day” Don’t you have to do this at least 18 times every time around?

It all hinges on the simple fact that THEY ( Progressives ) truly think that they are smarter than everyone else.

Maybe that’s why we need an actor as President—Or someone who can act. Calling Mitt Romney!

Most of us were lucky enough to have fathers who taught us to not make excuses, but to `man-up’ and take responsibility for our actions, or failures to act.

Unfortunately for America, guys like Bill Blythe/Clinton and Barry Obama/Soetero did not, and so we get to listen to one damned excuse after another for their failures.

BarryO: “It was the ... um, “optics”—yeah, I’m just not an actor. (snivel) It wasn’t, uh, it wasn’t my fault.”
“I just wanted to golf. If you reporters can’t say nice things, can’t you just leave me alone?”

Disgusting.

He’s got fairies in his tree. There’s no hope for this guy to change. He shouldn’t be impeached because Biden’s a fool!?

Neither Empathy or Sympathy is ‘natural’ to a narcissistic sociopath.
