New York, NY – The New York Daily News (http://nydn.us/1tkNoT2) on Thursday slammed President Barack Obama for heading out onto the golf course immediately following a grave Wednesday press conference in which he sternly vowed that those responsible for the beheading of American journalist James Foley will be brought to “justice.”

The editors state that despite a “palpable” anger at the presser, Obama’s strategy towards reigning in the terror of ISIS was “far from clear” and that to make matters “worse,” Obama went straight from “the presidential podium” to a “vacation round of golf.”
In addressing the ambiguity of Obama’s response to Foley’s beheading, the editors say it recalls previous U.S. policy in Libya in dealing with Moammar Khadafy.
Pointing to phrases delivered by Obama such as his call for “governments and peoples across the Middle East” to join “a common effort to extract this cancer, so that it does not spread,” the editors note that while the concept of such a coalition is noble, “no one has ever seen such a coalition.”
In conclusion, the editors state that Obama is “obligated to vindicate the national honor while making mortally clear that an attack on one U.S. citizen is an attack on all.”
?טא וואס האסטו געוואלט? זאל ער עסן אייער מיט אש פאר א וואך
Unfortuneately the way race-relations are going and the black/white divide growing soon there will be a call for the use of black golf balls !
Obama is the dead paying luxury taxes. His hand is a broken record.
I wouldn’t say Obama is a bad person, he just isn’t fit for such high office.
That said, the founding fathers created the Electoral College and the electoral system was put in place during presidential elections, specifically designed so that not every famous ‘Yockel’ can become president.
Had the popular vote been the method of choice and the deciding factor in electing US presidents it would have made it easier for a popular singer, actor or comedian to run and win a presidential election. The electoral process makes that more difficult and thus ensures that an unfit individual will not reside in the White House.
In one of the few rare cases of US presidential politics, the electoral process has failed us, this time around!
I find it almost comical that people are still surprised by the actions of this president. Jedidiah Bila said it best when she said “There are times when a President should get angry THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES!” Is American blood irrelevant to him?
better for everyone when is on the golf course
For the very few times in which Obama was called upon to be presidential, he manages to fail. In almost every instance, it is a challenge related to the catastrophes wreaked upon the civilized world by radical Islam. All that this idiot has been able to accomplish is making some vague statements that pay lip service to the “cancer” of violence. He has never been honest enough to call radical Islam part of (or maybe the entire thing) Axis of Evil. He never calls Hamas terrorists, just militants, as if they have a legitimate existence. He will never “declare war on terror groups” as previous presidents stated openly. Why? Because he sympathizes and tacitly supports terror.
Look at how brave he was to abandon his golf game for a few moments to make these lame statements.
This guy is addicted to golf, and the leadership of United States is attended to only in his spare time, between rounds. What a national disgrace.
I don’t understand why people are upset with Obama. He never had a decent record before he was voted in for president of US and still the majority of stupid Americans voted him in because the liberal media promoted him. It’s the media that gets to choose who becomes president. Obama himself was a nobody to begin with, it’s the fault of those Americans who voted for him!
In addition, Bush perhaps showed anger but he was just as dumb as Obama and in some ways dumber because of what he did to Sadaam Hussein, the best ruler Iraq could ever hope to have- the big barbarian kept the Islamist barbarians under control. And now they are out of control!
If obama wasn’t black he’d never be president today.
