He’s inhuman, Matt. I don’t know how else to put it. A sociopath. I can’t see that he cares about the lives lost or any other aspect of it. I see no sign at all that he does.
A raving narcissist in the position of POTUS.
I totally believe he might have said, “No military action!” at 5pm, and then hid out or otherwise made himself “unavailable” until the next morning.
Leaving the .mil side furiously trying to get permission for the rescue, without success.
100s of field grade or higher officers know the whole story, I’m sure. I’ll bet Issa has a dozen whistleblowers on his voice mail, plus Frank Gaffney etc.
The dam is going to break, much bigger and faster than “Swiftboats.” The MSM airbrushing will just make them look like Quisling Media. This story is going to go nuclear in the next day or two, I hope.
POTUS is praying that Sandy is HUGE and occupies the MSM as a “plausible alt story” to fill the hours.
