Must be nice to go through life with a ‘safety net’ under your a%$ 100% of the time.

That way you never have to be responsible and of course, the other side of that coin is... you never grow up, either!

Two years left of Obama. If he orders 100 new buses, he should have just about enough room for the underlings he will throw under them in order to escape blame for his actions

Obama always makes somebody fall on their sword for him when he realizes he’s gone too far and become too obvious in his contempt for the US (in things ranging from Benghazi to the Paris no-show).

So....is this the same guy that screwed up when Obama was giving a “gift of his speeches” to the UK Queen but in a DVD format that couldn’t be viewed in UK players? That dude?

Does anybody believe Obama, Valerie, et al are so moronic, so vacuous, so disconnected that they just ‘missed it’ because this poor flunky just “screwed up?”

Was he fired? Will he be? My guess is not. Obama told him “it’s your day in the barrel son” is more like it.

These people are such amateurs, and this MSM just laps it up like pig slop.

It’s OUR reaction to it, not Obama’s absence that he regrets.

Another one under the bus. When is this baby of a president ever going to admit to his MANY failures? If anyone should fake an apology, it should be Valerie Jarrett, who is making the decisions for this pathetic zero of a president.

This passage is as priceless as it is bizarre:

"...it was his fault the White House didn’t send the president..."

The "White House" IS the president. So this means, the president didn't send the president. Got it.

George W. Bush is one of Obama’s aides?

Um, Holder was already there. Did the AG refuse to march?

Looks like another smokescreen, as were the AG’s meetings, IMO.

The arm-in-arm photo-op was ridiculous. It was symbolism over substance.

Just this morning ISIS issed a new video/photo of 2 Japanese who are going to be beheaded unless they get a $200 million ransome.

==

Obama has never been a ‘foreign policy president’ and hardly even reacts to world stage events. His 2 SoSs have not been much better, as both hold extreme left views. Recall just days before the Paris attacks, Hillary was saying ‘we’ need to try to understand the poor widdle tewwoists.

==

Actions speak louder than words. The arm-in-arm kumbaya moment was a feelgoodism. Progressives/Liberals are expert at feelgoodisms.

ISIS continues beheading and killing hundreds. Boko Haram continues to capture and kill dozens, a few hundred, a few thousand.

Feelgoodisms are not going to defeat those kinds of radical fanatics.

A remorseful White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough said Tuesday that he was surprised to learn the buck stops with him.

...fixed.

McDonough said in an interview with NBC’s “The Today Show. “That rests on me, that’s my job.”

*****

My goodness. Does Obama ever take the blame for any of his blunders? Or, does he simply take all the credit when he does a few right things?

Did McDonough go on the TODAY show on his own, or was he ordered to do so by Obama in order to be Obama's scapegoat?
