Or so says French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius:
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has a message about Iraq for Barack Obama: Get back to the White House and do something.
'I know it is the holiday period in our Western countries,' Fabius told a radio interviewer Tuesday in France,' but when people are dying, you must come back from vacation.'
Full-time workers in France are guaranteed a whopping five weeks of paid vacation every year, making his plea all the more urgent.
Obama is on a family and golfing holiday in a ritzy neighborhood of Martha's Vineyard but says he will come back to Washington this weekend before returning on Tuesday to fun, sun, and more golf.
And people are dying. On Wednesday, the UN raised the level of humanitarian concern in Iraq to its highest possible rating and U.S. ground troops were deployed briefly to Mount Sinjar. These are both major developments. At the same time, the situation in Ferguson, Missouri continues to spiral out of control. Following nearly a week of rioting after an unarmed African-American teenager was shot and killed by police, the city is now being described as a “war zone.” Police are shooting rubber bullets and spraying tear gas at rioters and protestors alike. What’s more, two journalists were also arrested for very questionable reasons, and the crackdown on free expression is becoming a real cause for concern:

Meanwhile, photos surfaced last night of the president partying on Martha’s Vineyard with the Clintons and other luminaries. And, for my part, while I’ve always argued that the president deserves and needs a vacation, perhaps sometimes the optics of having tons of fun isn’t the best idea when, as Fabius put it, "people are dying."
Obozo apparently NEVER LEAVES vacation......................
“Obozo apparently NEVER LEAVES vacation......................”
For this, I am grateful. What if he worked like a Rommel or an Eisenhower? Instead, he’s Grouch in “Day at the races.” “I have to slip out of these wet things and into a dry martini.” (Waggle, waggle.) Thank goodness.
I’m fairly certain he was told that he just needs to get in there, and the commies behind the scenes will make sure the country is destroyed. Off the teleprompter, the guy can string together two coherent sentences.
Is it not rich that the entire world not only recognizes, but is vocal about the fact that Barack Husdork Obamacretin is an incompetent idiot?
If foreign government leaders have to tell you to get back to work, then it must be really bad......................
It is very revealing that they know he’s a lazy slothful person.
That’s why Putin is doing what he’s doing.................
He just repeats what VJ tells him to say..........
Absolutely nothing is stopping France from taking action, you know.
Vlad and everyone ELSE who wants it their own way better do it right now... the window is open and “O” has flexibility!! :)
You know things have gotten real bad when the french are telling a US president to get tough
Obama hasn’t thought of anything and he’s all out of ideas. Actually I think Obama is more like Groucho in “Duck Soup’’. “Remember you’re fighting for this woman’s honor! Which is more than she ever did!’’.
Kind of the flipside of “the president is on duty wherever he is”.
This guy is on vacation even when he’s in the office.
Obama is too stupid to be an idiot. And where was the world six years ago when conservatives were being crucified for pointing out what moron he is? The ‘’world’’, France and Germany and Britain were all but calling conservatives racists for even questioning the Great One’s ability to be president. And now the world is waking up? Pardon me but the ‘’world ‘’ can go f itself.

Hey, he has people who “keep him informed.” Why does he ever need to NOT be on vacation?
Even if he comes back from vacation, he’s not going to do anything, he’s incapable. VJ needs to step it up and get busy solving the world’s problems and let the Dictator in chief get his beauty sleep.
Why? Anything important that happen he will learn about it in the news paper.
