Why do you need to hear Obama


Because he needs to publicly call it what it is, but he won't because it doesn't fit his narrative.

I'm betting he will do that. Just took 48 hours to make sure the leader of the free world did not leap to a rash conlcusion.

Things would be a lot better if he had ripped out and called it terrorism before it was confirmed, right? That's what many folks were shouting for.

Damn it. If only he had called this yesterday, before the facts were in, we would give hm credit for doing something prematurely. Right?

Tune in next week, and I will take the opposite side of whatever debate is ongoing. This shite is too easy.

Why didn't he wait until all the facts were confirmed all those times in the past?

I don't need him for anything. Should we just get rid of the office altogether?

A terrorist attack occurred in his watch. Not only is he ignoring his fundamental obligation as the president of this country to address the citizens he was elected to lead, he has either completely ignored the situation or used it to push bullshite policies that would only be constitutional if done in one very specific way.

He has failed as a leader on this one. He has on most occasions, but this one ranks near or at the top.

The only good thing to come out of this is there's no way Obama is going to win a third term now.

Whatcha talking about? Examples?

Our government officials have never rushed to judgment. Certainly not to suit their political views.

Even with all his perseverance and tireless efforts, he may only end up being able to shite on one constitutional amendment before he begrudgingly gives up his throne.

ISIS has been contained (mission accomplished)
Win the hearts and minds of the world (Iraqi flowers)
Global Warming poses a much higher threat to American citizens than terrorism

The man has literally never stopped himself from opening his mouth, until now. Maybe even he finally realizes how stupid he is. You'd think being able to unite the country in a time where it should happen naturally anyway would be a slam dunk. The problem comes when uniting the country is antithetical to your goal.

So he's an idiot and should shut up? Yet many seem to beg for him to speak and soothe their soul.

I'm not sure what he could say where folks would say, "that sounds reasonable. I'm grateful the leader of our country said that. I'm not going to complain about that."

At the very least, convince us that he cares. Tell us that his only response to Islamic terrorism isn't going to be the continued effort to restrict a constitutional right. Tell us that he plans to address the real root of this evil, radical Muslims that are fighting a war against us while we battle the evils of racist statues and global warming.

He has a responsibility to do this, and based on his history, quite frankly I have no confidence that he even gives a shite. At the very least, he needs to prove that he can act like a fricking world leader. Act like being accused of having patriotism wouldn't offend him.
