While eating at an "official dinner" with Chile's president Monday night, President Obama was updated throughout the meal on the downed American plane in Libya, the White House says.

The national security adviser Tom Donilon told Obama of the plane at 7:45 p.m., before the dinner, and kept Obama updated during the ride, telling him that the United States was "in touch with the pilots on the ground," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters on Tuesday.

I hope they didn’t disturb him too much. Did they let him eat the cake?

The kenyan ass-clown didn’t care. Most probably got pissed that the security guy put a downer on his party.

They are trying desperatelt to make this analogous to Bush’s handling of the news on 9/11, when he stayed in place until the full situation became known.

It’s funny - but didn’t the left criticize Dubya for not running around shrieking at that point?

reflects both the multi-tasking nature of Obama

Multi-tasking president, now that's just wonderful he's able to be told we lost an F-15, the pilots were safe and he goes to dinner all at the same time. /sarc

This writer should be fired and the turkey impersonating a US President impeached.

From the article:

The intersection of a formal dinner in Chile and an effort to stay updated on the pilots' safety reflects both the multi-tasking nature of Obama and the consequences of his decision to go on his five-day Latin America trip right after ordering an attack on Libya.

What this reflects, in the words of my dear old departed Auntie is that he is a worthless little 'shitass'.
