The picture of the day is provided by Daily Mail, and it completely destroys Barack Obama, showing with just a photo how shallow, uncaring and disconnected he is from events happening around the world, specifically the tragic, terrorist act of ISIS beheading an American photojournalist by the name of James Foley. Obama gave an impassioned speech condemning ISIS and the brutal act of terrorism...... right before he headed back to the golf course, then a day later caught laughing and fist-bumping other golfers.
Say what you will about George Bush and believe me, there was plenty to criticize even for conservatives, but at least he had the common decency to understand the optics of being out playing golf while Americans were dying and gave his reasoning in 2003 when he decided to no longer play sports while at war.
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," Bush said in a White House interview with the Politico. "I feel I owe it to the families to be as -- to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."
In the video below, Joe Scarborough admits he doesn't even know if he is critizing obama or not because the situation is that bizarre, but states that some ISIS members must be thinking that Obama is "one cold bastard."
