Video: Pretty much everyone expressing dismay over White House response to world falling apart
Hot Air ^ | July 17, 2014 | BY MARY KATHARINE HAM

Was the Bear loose today? If Valerie Jarrett wanted to get a hashtag going for the president, #smh might have worked. Shep wasn’t the only one baffled by the White House’s insistence on pretending today was a day for the normal shake run and spin.

Via the Free Beacon, first ABC notes that the president seemed blindsided by Israel’s starting ground operations in Gaza today. Jonathan Karl cites the President’s and State Department’s optimism just hours earlier that a ceasefire would happen. Second, Gen. Barry McCaffrey wonders aloud to Brian Williams on NBC why State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki seems utterly useless and uninformed on a matter of this importance:

The type of people who would go and give money to Obama and the democrats are people who ignore anything that doesn’t fit their delusional world view.

In the category of historical leaders who have shown the most malevolent contempt for their subjects during a time of crisis, Barack Obama has now surpassed Nero, who had held the title for 2000 years merely for playing his violin while Rome was burning — a simple, one-time event.

In contrast, day after day as crises erupt across the world, Barack Obama is not content to simply turn his back on us and play a musical instrument, he’s constantly in our faces laughing and joking at the news of plane crashes and invasions and running off to indulge his insatiable lust for shaking down fat cats for money.

You’re right. It’s actually safer if he just keeps golfing.

Hillary Clinton says there’s “growing awareness” that Malaysia Airlines passenger plane was probably shot down by Russian insurgents — but argued that European leaders must “take the lead” on any action if that proves to be the case.

In other words, Hillary says that America is closed for the next two years. Come back later.

The only thing in six years that hasn’t been above this president’s paygrade was pardoning the Thanksgiving turkey, and that was professional courtesy.

Putin/Obama, is there really much difference?

Yes: at least Putin can make ponies look cool.

(Nothing Obama does looks cool.)

and an Obama “Bear On the Loose”

In order to fundamentally change America, you must first destroy it. This movement isn’t run by Obama. Obama is being run by the movement. (Paraphrased quote by Dinesh D’Souza).

Seriously, I think Obama has simply quit. Oh sure he’s still going through the motions, but he’s quit in the same way as a player on a team keeps playing the game, but you can tell he’s just going through the motions on the field.

It is long past the time to stop talking about obumbler and start talking about what kind of people would hold an event for a scum bag like obumbler. He should have been shunned at every single one of those fund raisers. There should have been ZERO donations to the party in his name.

That is an excellent point, capping a fine, fine post. +1 for you.

I'm sorry, but we have Putin, Ponies, and Obama on a coolness scale.
Having Obama on that scale makes almost anything look cool… at least 20% cooler.

If we're going to talk about his enablers, the Republican party ought to be mentioned frequently (and with as much bile as you can muster).

Hopefully not in terms of fundraising, though with what went on in Mississippi, you can never be completely sure.

There is no real, credible opposition to the Caliph in Republican “leadership” today.
