Obama & Kerry Goof Off As Egypt Burns

Egypt Crisis Finds Washington Largely Ambivalent and Aloof

That Time headline says it all about this administration. Whether it's our embassy in Libya being attacked and our ambassador killed, whether it's the IRS conservative hit list, whether its guns being run to Mexico and border patrol agents being killed....they always stay ambivalent.

"Eh....whatever"...as they shrug their shoulders:

In polo shirt, shorts and sandals, President Obama headed to the golf course Friday morning with a couple of old friends, then flew to Camp David for a long weekend. Secretary of State John Kerry was relaxing at his vacation home in Nantucket.

...The president met in the Situation Room on Thursday with his national security team, and the White House released a photograph showing the session. His cabinet secretaries and top national security aides called various officials in Egypt, Israel and elsewhere. But Mr. Obama’s decision to go golfing on Friday angered some Egyptians, and the only public comment from the administration as the crackdown in Cairo turned violent came from a State Department spokeswoman urging calm.

Mr. Kerry came under even more criticism for sailing off Nantucket on Wednesday as Mr. Morsi was being toppled. At first, the State Department denied that he had been on a boat even though a CBS News producer spotted him. By Friday, the department spokeswoman, Jennifer Psaki, retracted the denial, saying, “He was briefly on his boat on Wednesday.”

Well, they are the political arsonists who intentionally set the match to the tinderbox, so who are we to deny them a comfortable spot from which to watch the Middle East burning to the ground

What’s your problem? Obama is Black(kind of)and didn’t you know Kerry served in Vietnam, so they both get a pass. You are not allowed to hold them to any standard of decency, they are SPECIAL just like those kids on the short bus! God Less them, the kids on the short bus not the other to A**ses.

“Obama & Kerry Goof Off As Egypt Burns”..

So whats new? Odumbo has been goofing off right here in America since he became president. Our whole country is toppling and he’s off on another $100,000,000 vacation somewhere. (When you’re away, they can’t blame you (sarc).

They haven’t the faintest idea of what to do when things don’t go their way, so they do nothing. They are not leaders or decision makers. They function only according to script.

If we had any semblance of a balanced or responsible media in this country, the news reporting, and interpretation of events, would be very different.

Is the media so in the tank for Obama, that none of his actions or actions of his administration can be questioned? To paraphrase Hillary, is the media view “what difference does it make”, which can be applied to any inconvenient situation in world events?????

On the flip side (or, there’s always a silver lining to every dark cloud), at least they can’t muck things up anymore than they already are as long as they’re distracted playing with their toys.

Personally, I think the less these two boobs have to do with anything involving foreign affairs, the better for America.

Goofing off is exactly what we all need them to do. Who needs a couple of collectivist incompetents busy at work? That’s like sending a bunch of 4 year olds into the control room at a nuclear facility.

The red phone already rang at 3:00 AM in Benghazi. We saw how that went.

No....no.....really......Kerry is a socialist. He was going out to his yacht to rouse the masses.
