HOWARD FINEMAN, HUFFINGTON POST: I think the president doesn't think in mano a mano terms. He likes to think of himself, and I know he thinks of himself, as a broad-gauged deep guy who plays a long-term game. Has allies, has a plan. Doesn't take it personally. This is the first time I've ever seen him sort of take something personally. Now there is also a school of thought --

He was speaking taqiyyah and nothing more. Obama has defended Islam at every turn and will continue until Islam controls the world.


Obama is well versed in the Koran and is a master of “Taqiyya”.

Only because ISIS is willing to behead other muzzies.

He MAY have taken it personally—it delayed his golf game. I mean, how rude!

Yep, a broad-gauged deep guy who’s smarter than everyone else in the world and who was given everything he’s ever wanted just because he’s half black. If both his parents had been black he’d have been another Trayvon Martin or Mike Brown.

Didn’t McCain pose with the same group that cut the guy’s head off? Unfortunately, they must have left their knives at home that day.

Of course he took it personally. ISIS beheading an American upsets his narrative.

No this time Obama is REALLY pissed. You should have seen how tightly he was gripping his driver on the 7th hole.

Where the hell was Fineman when Obama made the very personal statement about St. Trayvon?

Howard Fineman = Conventional logic.. Not necessarily correct, but he tells you what the Beltway mime is.

Matthews on the other had is totally insane. We could have video of Obama eating puppy dogs and Matthews would spin into the latest in good diet.

We’ve been fighting this Jihad War all wrong. Let me give you a bit of history. During the MAGSAYSAY administration, in the Philippines, the communist were on the upswing. They actually controlled a few provinces. This is what the MAGSAYSAY administration did. They put a bounty on all communists. 100 Pisos for a private, 200 Pisos for a sargeant, 300 Pisos for a lieutenant, 500 Pisos for a captain and 1,000 Pisos for a general. All they needed to do was bring in their heads. Immediately, most of the provinces were reporting hundreds, if not thousands of heads were coming in. The communists were afraid to go to sleep with another communist, for fear that their heads will be gracing the provincial grounds. The world should do the same with ISIS, Al Qeada, Hamas, Hisbolla, and yes even the Muslim Brotherhood. I will guarantee you that within a few years, we won’t have any more Jihadist trouble. It’d be a hell of a lot cheaper too.

So the Muzzies killed a journalist. I’m sorry but it ain’t the first time. Probably won’t be the last either. Not sure why this is news, really or why the Bamster took time out from his 36 holes to say anything about it, especially when we know he won’t do anything about it but spout pablum. How long did it take him to help that Christian mother who was going to be executed if she didn’t convert to Islam? Where were his speeches then?

Oh, that’s right. She wasn’t a journalist.

Yeah, he was so bothered by it that he bogeyed the first three holes after his fake concern speech.

Is Obama invoking the field-tested, Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule for the US to not prevent the ongoing genocide of Christians, and Yazidis in current US Ally Iraq?

BTW, the Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule is as follows:

“1.) ALWAYS STAND DOWN WHEN MUSLIMS ATTACK,
2.) WAIT FOR THE MUSLIMS TO FINISH THEIR BLOOD SPORT KILLING, AND
3.) THEN DO NOTHING.”
