Daniel Halper at the Weekly Standard points out that contrary to media reports Obama was not contrite in his Meet the Press remarks about going golfing immediately after making a statement while on vacation last month about the videotaped beheading of American journalist James Foley by the Islamist terrorist group ISIS. Obama seemed to blame press coveragesaying hes looking forward to a vacation from the pressrather than his conduct for the optics of being seen laughing it up on the golf course mere minutes after making a somber statement on what many consider to be an act of war on America.

That is great, that gif is like a digital Obama bobble head :D
Your average small town mayor would know better than to go play golf after speaking to his constituents about a tragedy. Obama lacks the American gene.
I remember when he was elected the press was discussing how to handle such high expectations right off the bat.
They have been working hard at it ever since.
Foley was beheaded but Obama is the victim.

I’m stealing that one.
Now THAT ....is Truly Disturbing
Thank you.
That’s way too fine a distinction for a guy who thinks an insurance premium can drop by 2700 percent and that is just one of his braindead remarks.
Optics being that which one looks through or shoots through...in the case of a camera lens..they GENIUSES have just about everything....BACKWARDS.... dont they
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
He is upset that the press caught it, not that he should not have done it.
OPTICS, my foot!!!
“..And this guy was elected twice.”
More frightening is that the majority of people voted for him twice, and will vote again, and again. Will they EVER wake up?
If they’re black, he pretends to care and talks about his daughters. White people being slaughtered, like the Ft. Hood shooting and televised beheadings, he can’t even feign concern. The truth is he doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
Time to retire the over-used buzz word “optics.”
Yeah, B.O.
