Obama is probably a closet 9/11 truther like his buddy Vann Jones. Terrorism was a creation of the Bush admin to kill foreign people and take their oil, doncha know? /s

It completely misses the point! What did he do, ask permission??? “Mother, may I?” The idiot was in charge and his agency screwed the pooch big time. Canceling the leave is a no-brainer.

This entire administration’s been on vacation this last year.
To: Behind Liberal Lines
He went on vacation with permission and o-bow-man stayed on vacation.
I feel so safe now that the kindergarten class is in charge.
I can’t wait to hear the excuse for their next f-up when people are killed and maimed. There is nobody from the top on down in this merry group of thieves, morons and liars who is accountable for anything.
