Our first ‘just going thru the (e)motions’ Pres__ent from Our Founding Fathers, bless their white european heinies.. they trusted God that we would somehow survive and never forget the sacrifices of those who died to strive to protect and perfect this nation, and hoped that WE the people would never fall for a nimrod like this in any position in gubamint.

Nobody’s perfect!

He's distracting us with the “I gotcher nose trick” while millions stream over the border.

It's like that time the dog pulled away the curtain to show us that he wasn't really the Great and Powerful Wizard of Obama while Mexicans and islamic OTM’s snuck across the border.

[Uncle Chip]

I’m going to guess that as of yesterday there were no single citizenship Americans onboard and that affected what he was going to say.

They had to wait a day for the State Department to find a dual citizenship American for Obama to have a hook for his comments.

#globaltragedy.

I thought there were 23 dead Americans?

"This should snap everybody's heads to attention," Obama said.

In other words, people can stop talking about all your scandals for a while, right?

[Common Sense 101]

The “global tragedy” has determined it was a “global tragedy”...

[onedoug]

And it’s still a steaming pile.

....while Mexicans and islamic OTM’s snuck across the border.

Why would anybody have to "sneak"? They could march right in with a mariachi band playing.

ABC Radio News is already giving him cover by claiming ‘he demanded...’ in his lackluster speech.

Per several newsies, Amb. Powers gave a more forceful speech at the UN earlier today.

[Powers may get a stern talking to for upstaging The One. More likely, Powers might lose a speechwriter.]

I thought there were 23 dead Americans?

22 Conservatives and one Democrat?

True enough! And then march in protests and get angry that we are not giving them more freebies!

[caww]

Completely cut Obama off when he said he’d continue to take the lead in Ukraine. If he’s leading as he claims he’s made a complete mess of things there.......just like he did in Syria....and Egypt!

It might escalate the situation if the United States had a President who was an American, or at least who was on America’s side in foreign conflicts. Alas, that is not the case.

I have heard the audio a few times. Maybe it's just me but I could swear I heard him say this: We know at least one American citizen, Quinn Lucas Schansman, was kilt.

“”This should snap everybody’s heads to attention,” Obama said.”

Unless there is an important fundraiser, vacation, or tee time that needs attention.

[Forgotten Amendments]

Funny how we know this. Yet, it took months to find out that a plane in American airspace exploded from a spark in the fuel tank. /sarc

I believe NOTHING the government tells me.

“This guy is demented or high on drugs”.
How about both demented and high.

Early reports - Chris Plante, WMAL, DC - had the number at 23 US Citizens, based upon the plane’s passenger manifest. That manifest sure changed quickly.
