US President Barack Obama now admits that his decision to play a vacation round of golf immediately after addressing the murder of US journalist James Foley by Islamic State, was a mistake.

"I should have anticipated the optics," Obama said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

The president said that he had been forced to hold back tears when he spoke privately to the family of Foley, who was beheaded, but added that there was always the prospect of a "jarring" contrast between world events, and his own efforts to carve out a semblance of a normal life through recreation.

And he also admitted that sometimes his own performance in some of the more public rituals of the presidency was lacking.

"Part of this job, is also the theater of it.

"It's not something that always comes naturally to me. But it matters. And I'm mindful of that," Obama said.

Obama was hammered in the press after being pictured smiling and enjoying his round of golf after making a public statement last month after Foley's death, while he was on vacation on the resort island of Martha's Vineyard.



Even now Barry is only concerned with the "optics" and the "theater". The useful idiot Democrat fraud of a President is a despicable embarrassment.

That's all being President is to this clown. 'Theatre'. Nothing is real. This guy is as phony as the plywood Greek columns he spoke before at the DNC nomination.



Note he didn't even apologize. He said he should have been more aware of the optics. Which means someone told him it LOOKED bad, but he wasn't truly sorry in how he acted.

What a dick.

All this guy really cares about is taking vacation.

When he's not ON vacation, he's thinking about the next vacation.

Most disconnected and uncaring President - EVER

Quote:

President Obama isn't too happy about reporters following him around on vacation and questioning his responses, even when questions come as a result of ISIS beheading an American journalist.

“It’s always a challenge when you’re supposed to be on vacation. Because you’re followed everywhere. And part of what I’d love is a vacation from the press,” Obama said on Meet the Press yesterday.

In other words, "Those dang reporters trying to inform Americans about what the heck I'm doing, they're so annoying."

Obama wants a vacation from the press? The same fawning press that has failed to hold him accountable for a number of different scandals? There's an easy way to get there.

It is what it is. One colossal fuck-up or unimaginable outrage after the next. It was all predicted long ago.

Maybe he was born on Planet Kenya and his species heart is where your balls are supposed to be? That might actually clear a few things up, no?

I suppose in that case I wouldn't expect an apology for his behavior, since he didn't know any better. He really needs to get a better grasp on this theater business though, or there is NO way he's going to star on Broadway in 2017. :(



EDITED TO ADD: Does anybody else find this picture hilarious for other reasons though too?

I for one love the fact that whatever they're pledging allegiance to, it's not the gigantic American freaking Flag right behind them. They're all looking at something different.


Do Right, Be Right. :)
