When President Obama told ABC News he was "less concerned about style points" than "getting the policy right," he was trying to hasten into oblivion a foreign-policy week from hell. But it's a risky business to disregard style.
From his Syria gyrations to Monday's ill-timed economic speech attacking Republicans as a mass shooting was in progress at the nearby Washington Navy Yard, Obama's apparently willful dismissal of style could do more than just hurt his poll numbers. It could yield midterm election losses and create perhaps insurmountable obstacles to achieving his policy goals.
The Syria moves were head-spinning, from beginning (Obama's stunning decision to ask Congress to authorize a military strike) to end (Russia convening negotiations on Syria's chemical weapons).

I don’t even like the style of his sharkskin Italian suits.
Style was all the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut EVER had, and even that minimal grasp of such skills is slipping away from him.
Increasingly, he is found to be in FAR over his head, with the Russian Federation and Vlad Putin playing him like a second-hand fiddle. Even Kim Jong Un is disrespecting The Won, and that is a dangerous precedent.
It other words telling a damn lie is not important.
Going ahead with his anti-Republican economic speech today while knowing the nearby Navy Yard shooting incident was still out of control was unbelievable. This tool really doesn’t get it. He had no real concern at all for the people shot today or the people who were killed in Benghazi. He’s starting to show signs of being a sociopath.
Narcicistic sociopath. Been saying it on various forums for years. Surprised I haven’t been “disappeared.” /only have joking
Half*
He only has one concern and that’s stealing Americans blind!
As “Putin’s Monkey”, there are no style points.
