Report: Obama Delayed James Foley Rescue a Month, Fretting over His Image and Golfing
Breitbart ^ | Dan Riehl

According to a new Sunday Times report by Toby Harden, "Pentagon sources said Foley and the others might well have been rescued but Obama, concerned about the ramifications of US troops being killed or captured in Syria, took too long to authorise the mission."

It's claimed that Obama was concerned about his administration being Carterized had the mission failed.

What is the gist of what’s on Twitter? Are more people figuring out what a disaster this is?

If SNL can't find anything else to make fun of Obama for they need to show his sorry @$$ on a golf course with his staff trying to interrupt his game with news of the world.

If he had not delayed it, Foley and his captors might have been there, and Obama might have had to authorize the Killing of some of his friends and allies. (And in this case, I'm NOT talking about the media.)

It's claimed that Obama was concerned about his administration being Carterized had the mission failed.

Doesn't releasing info that there was one mission that didn't work (because the intel was stale and the hostages had been moved) create the same effect? What were they thinking when they discussed that mission after Foley's death? That they looked more caring for having tried and failed?

Any such perception was far outweighed by the photographs, separated by 8 minutes, of Obama giving his speech and then making it to the golf course on time. Tee time is the only appointment the SOB is ever prompt for.

“It’s claimed that Obama was concerned about his administration being Carterized had the mission failed.”

Instead, he Carterized his own administration with his dithering indecision.

I think that's spin. Obama dithered because the idiot couldn't make any decisions, just like Benghazi.

Sometimes thoughts go through my mind....wishes, to be more specific...that I used to think were very wrong and very unChristian.

I’m beginning to think they aren’t so bad, after all.

Some things are going through the minds of our non-commie armed services, too.

How low can this despicable person go.

From the amount he's playing, he could break 80 by the end of his term.
