Just when I think Obama could not be a more worthless POS, he outdoes himself.

And, to America's debit; he will continue to. No such thing as 'too low'; when it comes to a Leftist rationalizing their existence.

Mentioned/asked this on another post; if anyone caught Obama's incredible play on his own 'sacrifice' just twenty-four hours after Normandy experience - where the monumental meaning of sacrifice is truly brought home.

Obama's light play for pity and understanding was inserted into the dialog when he was seated with Sarkozy and asked by a reporter about his turning down the Sarkozy's invitation to dinner. . .and of course, he never answered the question; rather just framed it in the 'personal' - as he always does - and so implied that a President does not have choices as does a private citizen.

He responded to question by saying in effect; 'how nice it would be to walk along the Seine with Michelle; to eat in a small restaurant/bistro. . .to have dinner with friends; go to the Louvre - and done he implied in a luxury or privacy and 'choice'. He then offered thoughtfully, that those choices would have to be for 'another time'.

That this comment/response. . .much less the sentiment behind it; was even conceived; much less uttered; and most shockingly; post his day at Normandy where the meaning of 'sacrifice' is so painfully brought home; seemed astounding.

OTOH. . .considering that the man speaking is meglamanical narcissist; it is all too painfully believeable.

Given that Obama is traveling 'as President' on our dime. . .considering that Michelle arrived tin Paris in separate flight/plane/entourage - on our dime - (rather than travel with Obama and attend Normandy memorials); then it seems the least Obama could do; . . .is to give up an evening and 'dine with the Country's hosts'. . .

( Perhaps Michelle laid down the decision here; look at picture on Drudge; Michelle seated next to Carla; and you can well believe; this woman could not survive an evening with the Sarkozy's as hosts.)

[Many of us have seen the photo on the dustcover of Michael Yon’s Moment of Truth in Iraq. It gives us a more contemporary glimpse of “the cruelty in ourselves.” A U.S. Army major, under fire, is hustling an Iraqi baby girl badly wounded by a terrorist RPG to his medic. Despite his bravery the child died.]

I recall during the first weeks of the invasion the Los Angelos Times was caught red-handed altering a combat news photo. The original image showed a U.S. soldier kneeling on a sidewalk firing his weapon down the street. Huddled behind him where a mother and two children crouching. The Times flopped the image of the soldier so he appeared to be firing pointblank at the three civilians. Once exposed, The Times announced it was firing a news photo technician.

The U.S. establishment press—particularly the AP with its worldwide reach—is a strategic weapon of our enemies.

“Hitler wanted to kill Jews and enslave people.
Muslims were Hitler’s ally back then.
Muslims around today want to kill Jews and enslave people.

Yet Obama wants to honor and reconcile with these people.”

Therefore:

Logically, 0bama honors Hitler, supports Hitler’s muslim allies and reconciles with killing Jews and enslaving people.
