SHANGHAI, China – President Barack Obama made no effort to conceal his irritation when his press corps used the first question of his maiden Far East trip to ask what was taking him so long on Afghanistan.
Jennifer Loven of The Associated Press had asked: “Can you explain to people watching and criticizing your deliberations what piece of information you're still lacking to make that call.”
“With respect to Afghanistan, Jennifer,” the president scolded, “I don't think this is a matter of some datum of information that I'm waiting on. … Critics of the process … tend not to be folks who … are directly involved in what's happening in Afghanistan. Those who are, recognize the gravity of the situation and recognize the importance of us getting this right.”
The cool president’s heated response reflected second-guessing from the press and Pentagon about a process that has spanned eight formal meetings with his war cabinet, totaling about 20 hours.
The White House has been deliberately portraying the process as thorough, emphasizing the opposing views the president has considered, as a way of positing a contrast with President George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

If this man is an executive, a person accustomed to making decisions when not all the facts are in, well, the woods are full of them.
Another “Present” scenario for Obama...This guy cannot make a decision...
the title of this article was, Obama Obama takes heat on Afghan timing. Then when you click to read the article they have 'President' in the title.
It made me ill all around.
Especially his POed look on his face because the press DARED to ask a non prepared question.
WHO IN THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?
I am angered that the press pool did not ask him why he bowed.
He is a coward, an appeaser, a defeatist, has zero leadership, and cannot make any tough decision.
Go vote in the poll
ARE YOU BOTHERED BY OBAMA BOWING TO THE CHINESE EMPEROR?

Our Government has most likely been overthrown.........
You mean JAPANESE emperor . I voted YES , by the way .
“He is a coward, an appeaser, a defeatist, has zero leadership, and cannot make any tough decision”
Maybe he’d be OK on dancing with the stars(since that is the only way he sees himself)
Yes Japanese Emperor. I apologize. My bad. What is the local press saying where you live?
WRONG, Mr. A**hole in Chief. I have friends in Afghanistan presently as well as a few who returned recently. Morale is down, frustration is up, and they literally feel like sitting ducks. They’ve been waiting for MONTHS for this whiner to do something, anything. None of them want to give up but a few have said that, at this point, if he’s not going to do anything, they’d rather he just pull them out because, while he continues to stall, more of our men and women are being killed.
We're going down.
Dont we all wish he had allowed the Congress more time to read the Health care bill? The stimulus, The Cap and Trade?
For a man who shoves so hard on some thing he hasnt a clue what to do on others.
He hasnt made a right decision since he has been in office, and his Honduras decision is a down right embarrassment.
bump
Thanks, Yoe. I was trying to recall that guy Shora’s name.
You got to be kidding!
This POS is a muslim through and through!!!
