After Saying “I Should’ve Anticipated the Optics” of Golfing After Foley Beheading Speech… Obama
Gateway Pundit ^ | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 09/07/2014 5:02:48 PM PDT by Nachum

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 coverage—saying he’s looking forward to a vacation from the press–rather 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.

To a narcissist, optica trumps responsibility/shame/accountability. Optics is EVERYTHING to a narcissist.

The President plays golf so much because it’s one of the few places he can feed his nicotine habit without being seen by anyone outside his circle.

The country should demand a refund from this a-hole. He’s a joke. The Great OZ has spoken.

Is he even human? "Optics?" - It isn't something one should have to think about - unless you're an asocial psychopath.

who are the enablers here? Think about it.

for 6 years the kneepad, Myrmidon MSM have led the President to treat them as extensions of his press office.

it was their treatment and their mollycoddling that brought this on.

it was the expectation of the president that the press would cover this up for him after YEARS of the same.

They are COMPLICIT.

Unfortunately the enabler most culpable for this disaster is the American electorate.

Ya know, Nachum, I’m all out of nasty words and thoughts about this farce of an American President.

Gonna check my notes from 2007 when he appeared on the national scene. We could basically rerun those threads and spend time playing cards or petting the cat or something equally profitable. All of our objections to Obma haven’t made one single thing better. He just keeps getting worse than anyone could ever imagine. The one thing we can count on.

“I Should’ve Anticipated the Optics”

So, Obama still doesn't see anything wrong with going from the podium right back to the golf course. He doesn't think he was insensitive. He doesn't think he used incredibly poor judgment. The problem, according to Obama, is with everyone else, and the way they perceived his actions.
