“The other thing people noticed is that Obama gave his typical bloodless ‘I’d rather be golfing’ sort of listless drone about the dead of Paris and his alleged enemies in ISIS, but then, as usual, became interested and emotionally engaged when he was asked about his real enemies, Republicans and Americans.”

One of the signs of a narcissist is a lack of concern for other people’s time:

Obama arrives late for ‘moment of silence’ for Paris attacks

President Obama walked in late Sunday on a moment of silence being held by world leaders in Turkey to honor the victims of Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris.

Reporters traveling with the president said Mr. Obama had not yet arrived when other world leaders at the G-20 conference in Turkey began their silent observance around a large conference table.

Mr. Obama walked in after they had begun, and took his place next to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

This is what happens when you ask a “community organizer” to do a president’s job:

Defense Secretary Ash Carter: We Might Be Going Back to Fight in Combat in Iraq Again (and Syria Too)

Obama fails. It’s what he does.

(Quick aside: Bob Dole disapproves of this use of the third-person to refer to oneself.)

Obama has once again proven the long-known wisdom — of which he was ignorant, and when it was told to him, he jeered at it, because it conflicted with his “new” thinking — that the surest way to waste men’s lives in pointless warfare is to adopt a craven, cowering position and invite aggression.

All hail the Eternal Failure and Bringer of Destruction, Nobel Peace Prize Winner Barack Obama.

They are resorting to Orwellian double-speak to not call it combat, because, of course, Obama declared the end of combat action in Iraq, and Obama is a vain and weak man who mistakes himself for a god.

So they’re calling it “direct action on the ground.”
