After four-plus years of presidential lying and deception, Obama has only a very tiny iota of credibility left, which will soon be destroyed — unless, either:
1) Al-Qaeda causes something enormously destructive to ‘’go down’’ in the next few weeks, as the Obama administration is warning us of; OR, 2) the Obama administration PREVENTS Al-Qaeda from carrying out its plans and captures the would-be perpetrators, presenting them for public view and show trials.
It’s hard to believe either of these things will happen. In fact, if this entire dire-threat/embassy-closing situation is not a hoax, the last thing Obama would be doing now is playing golf.
If Obama truly fears that world-wide Al-Qaeda attacks are imminent and knows the CIA is searching for ways to prevent them, he would be closely monitoring the situation from the White House; it would be like the climax of a thriller novel which he wouldn’t be able to tear himself away from.
But he’s on the golf course, and so — it’s 99.5% likely — should everyone else be at least metaphorically.
Other presidents have used the time on the golf course to negotiate legislation and work towards national policy aims . . . golf is great for deal-making . . . past presidents have golfed with leading legislators, ambassadors, business tycoons, etc. Obama golfs with low-level staffers and old college buddies. This says a lot about how focused he is on governing.
