The press sure does seem worried we might not appreciate how much the president cares.

SO THEY COULD GET THE BEST ACLU LAWYER TO DEFFEND THE ALLEGED TERRORIST.
The press is going nuts trying to cover for our boy-king.
Any word on why the 3 hr wait to notify Barry about the attack?

It does not appear Barack Hussein Obama bowing to his majesty the King of Saudi Arabia had much impact upon his Muslin Brethren.
Caesar “fiddled while Rome burned”, obama plays gulf after a terrorist strikes an American plane.
Not much difference between the two when it comes to caring about the people they’re supposed to be protecting.
But then, that must be above obama’s pay grade.
Yes, the word is the MSM has decided that it just didn't happen that way.
Obama is America’s First Failed Black Pres-dent.....
Seems to be a Delegater in Chief.
Some presidents are better at this than others.
The obamedia has become a joke.
Hope and Change you can believe in!
.
Concern...not so much.
God forbid he’d get his ass on a plane and come back to Washington to deal with a terrorist attack, any more that might be planned, etc.
A quite generous guesstimate would be 13 minutes.
