AWOL Obama Vanishes Again: Three Hours After Another American Is Brutally Beheaded, president is whisked away from the White House – without finding time to say a single word about it Presdident walks to Marine One past journalists while ignoring their shouted questions. State Department's chief Iraq-Iran deputy said 'stay tuned' for a strategy: 'we are building now a broader campaign plan.' CNN anchor pounces: 'You say "stay tuned," but in the meantime ISIS is busy beheading our colleagues'

Barack Obama left for a three-day European swing Tuesday afternoon without saying a single word in response to a terrorist video showing the beheading of Steven Sotloff, the second American journalist to die that way on camera. The president's departure came amid equally deafening swirls of helicopter rotors and tough questions about whether and when the U.S. will strike back in a meaningful and public way against ISIS, the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham. News of Sotloff's execution broke online at 1:05 p.m., shortly after White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest began his daily briefing with reporters; he said four minutes later that he hadn't heard the news. By 3:40, Obama was lifting off from the South Lawn of the White House on his way to a waiting Air Force One, which was 'wheels up' by 4:00.

Rockefeller became VP without being elected by electors.
I remember the time as a grade school boy thinking: "My daddy is a much better choice."
I stand corrected! And BOTH Veeps were under Nixon. Great quiz show question.
This is the most corrupt president ever. Totally unqualified. This is why the rest of the world has no faith in this clown.
NOW CNN and other MSM care about what zero’s plan is. NOW that his lack of a strategy and lack of cojones has cost them 2 colleagues. Funny how they didn’t give a darn before this.
“Harry Reid will do the same for Obama, IF Reid becomes convinced that Obama is doing irreparable harm to the Democrat Party.”
Never happen,Obama is Teflon-——and untouchable.
.
To the everlasting credit of RINO Loyalty in Congress, Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner has always paid all of Obama’s outstanding bills, through thick or thin!
You do realize that would be an improvement!
Prayers for the soul of Steven and for his family.
when you said “pay grade” I read “gay parade” because that’s the only place Obama is qualified to be.
Put Biden in charge, Obama must go!
Where is Hillary’s statement on this beheading?
“we are building now a broader campaign plan.”
“Huh? Exactly what does that mean? Campaign?”
Well, the meaning is obvious. Every single “issue”, such as the occasional annoying beheading, is viewed by the administration through the prism of domestic politics. So, whatever response, if any, to recent events must be polled, tested, and the numbers run to see what the effects on elections might be and how campaign messages can be properly tuned to best advantage. There are no actual concepts of right, wrong, or best interests of the United States involved here.
Now it's personal for them. So much more important than all the others who have been beheaded. Is that enough to cause them to switch to our side, or will they continue making excuses for America's enemies? Stay tuned.
Obama was going to show some real leadership but then he got high.

Could there possibly be a better way for Obama to support ISIS without being immediately removed from office than to simply dither and dather around and pretend to ignore them?
That’s exactly what he’s doing. It’s going to be harder and harder to do, though.
One former president was known for saying that being CIC was "hard work." That phrase was an SNL skit when he was in the White House; now it's a MSM pass for the current occupant.
Zero the Hero needs his tee time. The world is indeed complicated.

This article is about Obama. Why are you bringing Boehner into it?
Obama knows that he is at the end of his effectiveness.
There are two ways that Obama can be revered in History by Liberals, and neither involve Resignation from Office.
It’s very possible/probable that he’ll be made into a martyr.
(Jimmy Carter would be mad because Obama would then move one step ahead of him in the worst category).
ROFLMAO!!! Good one. ;-)
“My prediction: Hillary-Warren in ‘16”
Not even close to happening. Clinton could have actually picked off some centrists as a “hawkish democrat” in this time of world tensions...until Benghazi. And Warren, in spite of her Indian heritage :), makes Rand Paul look like Jack D. Ripper.
Although there hasn’t been a working ovary between the both of them for quite some time, no one in their right mind, and not even many Democrats, will vote for that ticket.
