“Obama is more dedicated to golfing than he is to defending the nation,” sniped Liz Cheney, daughter of the former GOP vice president, via Twitter.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius also took a swing at Obama.

“I know in Western countries, this is vacation period,” he said, according to The Wall Street Journal. “But when people are dying, you must return from vacation.”

Let Baraq golf and keep the teleprompter around for speeches.

The teleprompter is more dedicated than he is.

He’s frightened and overwhelmed. The golf course is his ‘happy place’. If he’s pressured to actually do something, it will only make things worse.

There is no passion or empathy when you read someone elses words & can’t speak without a script.

When I heard him say that, I said out loud "Islam does!"

All righty then.

When the shiftless French say that you're vacationing too much...you are vacationing WAY TOO MUCH.

I, for one, am glad that Obama is lazy.

Just think of the destruction he would have wrought if he had been industrious.

Agreed.

Didn’t you hear the Hillary quote

“He has one hand on the tiller half the time”

If SHE were President.. she’d have both hands on the tiller at all times. Scary thought.
