It wasn’t just that President Obama didn’t cancel his vacation when he began Iraq War Redux. It wasn’t even that he didn’t cut that same vacation short after the beheading of James Foley.
It was how he and his handlers handled it all. I mean, who in his thinking mind gives a speech about the horror of beheading and immediately runs off to play golf and yuk up on the golf course? Oh, right. Bam does.
It was typical of how the White House handlers handle everything including the things for which the U.S. should be lauded. Instead we always end up looking hapless and heartless.
Remember, we are the country that took the initiative and stepped up to the plate militarily to save the thousands of trapped Yazidis facing a religious holocaust by the savages of the Islamic State. We’re the ones who saved countless Yazidi women and girls from being captured, raped and thrown back like garbage on the street.
The world didn’t care what we did because we didn’t know how to even applaud ourselves.
