Video- Obama Enjoys Hearty Laugh During Speech in Tornado-Ravaged Village
Pundit Press ^ | Aurelius

Posted on 04/29/2011 11:52:39 AM PDT by therightliveswithus

I guess President Obama can find humor in any situation that he finds himself. Like today, for example, when he was discussing the tragic and terrible storms in the South. Speaking in front of piles of debris in an Alabaman town, the President began remarks on the situation moderately solemnly. That is until a wasp flew by. Then the President seemed to forget himself (and where he was) and enjoyed a hearty laugh.

Here is a short transcript:

Obama- There are communities across Alabama and all across this region that have been effected and we're going to be making that same commitment to make sure that we're doing whatever we can to make sure that people are okay. [Obama looks to his right at man swatting at wasp]. Um... that bee likes you. [Obama smiles, laughs]

Man- That's a wasp. Hold on, it's on you, you stand still. [Man smacks wasp on Obama's leg]

Obama- There you go.

Man- I got him. [Obama smiles, laughs again]

Man in crowd- Where's the Secret Service when you need 'em?

Obama- Yeah, exactly. [Obama smiles, laughs again]

The man has zero empathy for those he claims to lead.

Like The AntiCHRIST, perhaps? Who else could laugh in the midst of such destruction?

I do not like BHO or his policies, but this is a non story. It is a completely normal reaction to this type of occurrence. Laughter in the face of disaster is not a problem. Life goes on and regardless of how serious a situation is common reactions of humor and joviality are expected.

As a matter of fact this is as human as I have ever scene BHO

Inappropriate responses is one of the symptoms of mental pathology. He is, after all, a malignant narcissist bordering on a Napoleonic Complex, both serious mental illnesses.

Here’s an old joke brought up to date:
Somehow after doing all he could to wreck the shining city on a hill, Obama makes it to heaven and St.Peter calls him aside and says “You MUST have a talk with Napoleon.” Obama asks why and St. Peter tells him “He thinks he’s you.”

Some key words in your post apparently got lost in cyberspace and several were scrambled.

I believe it SHOULD have read “Zero has no empathy for those he is leading to HELL.”

Yep, maybe the man he was joking with is someone whose home was damaged or who has friends and family who were hurt.

Sometimes a little joking around is a bit of relief. Sometimes it is grossly insensitive.

Since the president is so often televised he has to err on the side of avoiding insensitivity, and there are sure to be some people who felt hurt by his joking, but take away the cameras and there isn’t a problem.

Probably not the AntiChrist, but certainly of somebody who feels nothing for the American people and thinks all difficulties and tragedies suffered by them is well deserved.

A hearty laugh and a hamburger, with ice cream for dessert.

Air Force One is a BIG plane. Did he happen to bring any RELIEF SUPPLIES with him? Vegetables from his garden, water, anything?
No?

Perhaps the real story is how Obama attracts insects and rodents to his PUTRID self! Flies have often settled on him, rats (animals) not his human Rats visit his speeches and now a wasp.
