Well, I mean, look, let’s give him credit for at least appearing before the press. Nice to have the access. But President Obama, during his stop in the briefing room this afternoon, had absolutely nothing to say, and he wasn’t pressed very hard to say anything.
Obama made a brief statement and then took some questions. Here’s a summary of what we learned:
On ISIS: We’ll defend Americans in Iraq and we need Iraqis to form a nice government and blah blah blah blah blah.
On the Immigration order: We’re working on it.
On Russia: If Russia do bad, Russia get more sanctions.
Same stuff he’s been saying for weeks. I think the real message was this:
The president is at the White House, has punched in, and he has a pulse. Here he is, look!
That’s what this, and the sudden announcement of a National Security Council meeting earlier today, was about.
Here, see for yourself, if you can bear it.
The Five is arguing this same point. They deduce he took to the podium because now he looks involved and it won’t look AS bad when he spends the weekend golfing, fundraising, and dancing at the wedding. We learned NOTHING from this gosh awful press conference. Ugh!!
Empty Oval Office, empty chair, empty suit, empty podium.
Was just thinkin’ that Clint Eastwood was WAY to nice in his Empty Chair Presentation at the Repub Covention.
empty head.
At the beginning, he acknowledged it was the beginning of the “long Labor Day weekend”…the whole charade was just another worthless “check the box” exercise.
There isn’t much to add to what MrK writes as it’s really hard to write about nothing much.
Maybe Germany’s MrsMerkel is right; we can’t be expected to save the world from itself anymore. Of course, not having a gut-ted leader might make make a big difference, but that’s not going to happen until MrO gets on the helio and waves “goodbye”.
We need to focus on saving the country from Obama.
He said he has been speaking to Congress. Was this while he was on vacation also, or disturbed them when he got back from his. How many Congressman do you think he called?
Don’t forget that they’re on a long vacation too so how many did he link up with?
That’s what I was thinking, also wondering howmany advisors his he speaking with.
On Fox they mention how O said he was going to wait and chat with the allies, and that he could have picked up the phone to do that.
We have allies?
“Link up with”…very funny!
Pun intended?
No, an inadvertent pun.
Only guy he has been talking to is Gutierrez. Unfettered access that one.
I couldn’t keep my eye off his MOLE. It’s getting bigger, should he have it checked?

No!
LMAO
It’s probably a CIA implant that has recently been upgraded, hence the size difference.
For real! It is almost as distracting as his bullfrog mouth expression…..not a good look.
I really think he needed to show us his new going fundraising in the summer suit.
Sorry, I did not read all the way down before making my comment below about the new suit.
I think he wore his zoot suit to distract us from his empty plans.
President Diddy-Bop
If he ever comes out in camo I will throw up.
I’ve seen it in fashion colors — pink, blue, grey …. since he’s sportin’ a “new look” who knows? But moreover, who cares.
Don’t give him any ideas.
Sheesh. He can’t say even three in a row without consulting the hard copy of the speech.
I sure haven’t seen you in awhile !
I understand that he cannot release secret ideas to fight against any enemy of ours. However as stated here before Raegan and Bush at least left me feeling safer, prouder, etc, with the Wall comment & 911.
He could have said something to bring the Country together, to get though what may be.
He should have announced that I am pretty much going to repeat myself, that way I could have begun frying chicken a lot sooner.
Fried chicken. MMMMMM!!! And so much more substantive than the Comingler-In-Chief!!
Take chicken breast, skinless & boneless , and pound them.
Dip chicken in milk and egg (mixture) than dip in flour, than fry.
P.S. Be sure to throw a bunch of pepper & salt in the egg mixture, or flour. :)
That sounds like chicken fried steak !
Mashed potatoes and white gravy.
This is chicken chicken fried steak.
Instead of pounded beef, pounded the chicken.
It’s all your fault Lee,….now you got us talkin’ about food.
:)
I haven’t fix it for a long time. That was a family meal growing up in between seafood and red beans. It is not a meal that you may crave, but it is good.
Plus I had to take a break from the unhappy issues.
Next time I will mention a pretty flower, or beach.
Give the poor guy some credit…. no strategy but he does have a new suit to wear as he says nothing.
What I actually got from this charade was we’re so screwed. When he said he sent people to protect the Embassy people
in Iraq I actually screamed at the TV what about Benghazi??!!!
Thought the same. Where are the grownups?!?
zero says zero.
Obama named in RICO lawsuit for laundering funds to terrorists-full story on headline at wnd.com- VERY interesting article
I missed this quote.
“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse.”
Is there some secret code within that comment?
Nah, that phrase harkens back to his upbringing on the choom farm where it was considered modern policy to put the horse behind the cart – the old leading from behind meme.
It seems that he’s found the ‘modern’ way doesn’t work and has caused some disgruntled foreign leaders, so he’s obviously going back to the tried and true – hook the horse to the front of the cart.
The big snag to that means is that he, MrO, is the horse, and he has been dismantling the cart for some time now.
Mike Baker, former CIA Covert (operations officer) just stated on Fox, Two things you don’t do:
Announce that you are going to make airstrikes
Tell them you don’t have a strategy.
Speaking of CIA. Does anyone have a good guess of how many CiA agents we have working overseas on this? Are they going over there and blending in, etc. to get information?
Probably nothing anti-muslim. (Isn’t Brennan CIA chief?)
.
Hillary Clinton commented on Ferguson, MO finally, and like Obama, she didn’t say anything.
Hey guys, obviously he had to send his dark suit to the dry cleaners because he has a huge fund raiser in my home town, Newport, RI. Start of long weekend and maybe sneaking back to MV for more golf.
And he will be well received and showered with bucks in your hometown also. Nothing against you or Newport, just sayin’
Isn’t there a scene somewhere in some movie — maybe Great Gatsby or something — where the guy stands and hits a golf ball from a promontory overlooking the ocean. Perhaps there will be such a thing from the cliffs of Newport.
Pulse? Barely. His new meme is to clock in for appearance’s sake and drone the obvious. No thought, clarity or vision. To me, he is now Captain Obvious in chief.
Let me see if I have this right. This Administration has been going after Tea Party, Conservatives, White People, Businesses, Republicans, Gun Owners, Christians, Pro Life Supporters , Capitalism, Border Security advocates, and anti amnesty people and for the last three years this Administration has been aware of the affinity for jihad in that nasty nest of Somalis in Minneapolis.
Yeah, I feel real damned safe. Barack Obama is a menace.
I thought he just showed up because he likes having his picture taken and to show off his new suit.

When you give an employer a 2 week notice the employer many times elects to just pay you, but have you depart at that time. If your heart isn’t in it then why hang around? Since Obummer can’t fully “transform america” due to silly details like the legislative branch, maybe he has in effect given his 2 year notice.
He’s going to Estonia? I just looked it up, and they have six, 18 hole golf courses there, including one that is a seaside course, and is on the European PGA tour. Wonder if he will take time to play around before flying off to the UK.
Will he hit the links at St. Andrews while in the UK? It may be the last time he can before Scotland breaks away from England, and becomes a sovereign country again.
Obama has to be the most ineffective lame Am,American president, prefers to sit on his hands and talk about talk, I guess he cant play the race card here and give well scripted speeches by his speech writers , He is a fraud and clueless about any foreign policy, he appealed to a certain section of American voters based on race which is a pretty hollow reason to vote for anyone, sadly ISIS will have no need to worrie under this very lame Presidents watch.
