Lupica: Obama's return to the links shows lack of leadership in face of ISIS threat
NY Daily News ^ | 8/21/14 | Mike Lupica

Posted on 08/21/2014 8:46:28 PM PDT by jimbo123

For the second consecutive day, President Obama reappeared at a golf course on the island of Martha's Vineyard, seemingly counting the strokes toward being an ex-President following the release of video showing American journalist James Foley being executed by an ISIS jihadist.

There are so many reasons, too many, why the American people now think Barack Obama is about as good at being President as he is at hitting a golf ball. His reaction to the execution of journalist James Foley in front of the world is just the latest. When the going gets tough, the tough really do go golfing.

He reacts about as well to the hideous death of Foley as his administration has to the growing threat of ISIS. Even some of the slow thinkers around this President ought to be able to figure that out by now.

So now Foley is dead and ISIS is threatening to kill more of ours and this isn’t George W. Bush’s problem, or his fault. It is the problem — and more than somewhat the fault — of this administration. President Obama has to wear this one, and in this case that does not mean the golf clothes he wears on Martha’s Vineyard.

Once again, in a moment of horror for this country he seems almost weirdly detached.

Hey Lupica, elections have consequences. I bet you’d vote for BamBam again and again if you had the chance.

Lupica is an arrogant (he thinks) know it all who was and is an ass and has always been All In on Obama.

Screw him - he'll be All In For Hillary in the coming months and will never realize his own stupidity.

But he can be pedantic at times.

Or is that William Safire?

Lupica used to be sports writer for The Daily News. He should have stuck to it.

When even the liberal douchebags in sports media are turning against Obozo, the end can’t be far.

Lupica’s batting average is so far below the Mendoza line, he makes Mario look like a hall-of-famer.

Odumbo’s “Lack of Leadership” extends way beyond facing ISIS, in fact he has NEVER BEEN a leader of any kind.

Why doesn’t someone around Obama have the good sense to tell Obama that if he wants to play during crises, he should be at Camp David? This whole thing of Obama being enabled by the DC crowd not stopping him from destroying the US is weird.

POSOTUS is the latest frontman of the coalition of collectivists and the other small-minded collectives, the secular totalitarians. They run on parallel tracks with religious totalitarians. Chaos, plunder, misery, deceit and death are their calling cards.
