Senators call for Obama to return to DC and talk defense cuts
Three Republican Senators, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John McCain of Arizona called for President Obama to return to Washington and join the discussion of the impending defense and national security cuts, according to the Washington Times;
“We understand there’s an election going on, but the defense of our nation and the security of our country can’t wait for an election,” said Mrs. Ayotte. “We are willing to go to Washington now to resolve this, and I would hope that he would lead an effort now to resolve this, because it’s too important. It’s not about either party, it’s about making sure that our country is safe.”
“The president of the United States was able to go on ‘The View,’ but he couldn’t meet with various world leaders today,” Mr. McCain said. “The president of the United States was in Las Vegas and also here in Colorado, and he was unable to find time in his schedule to meet with our closest ally in the Middle East, the prime minister of Israel.”
Yeah, I’m pretty sure the President doesn’t need to be there to express his thoughts on the defense cuts. He’s been pretty clear on the fact that he wants defense on the cheap, whether it works or not.

Now, am I misunderstanding something, when Bo’s speech at the UN today specifically referred to THAT video as the cause of the turmoil in the Middle East, north Africa and Asia, and it prompts me to believe he’s operating in complete denial of reality?
Just asking. See, when someone in his position thinks that a rock star approach to being the Pres is the way to go, vis-a-vis not meeting with foreign heads of state, it makes me wonder what his real intentions are toward the citizens of this country. And frankly, my reaction to this behavior of his, over the past few weeks, is that he has no intention of doing anything that will benefit us.
If you have to wonder, Ex PH? You better start worrying. 😉
Streetsweeper, it’s nigh impossible to type words in a sarcastic tone of voice, isn’t it? I keep forgetting to put in that little (sarc) thingy.
But I truly do wonder what Bo’s real intentions are toward the citizens of this country.
Paranoia can have its benefits, especially when you’re in a bad neighborhood.
Yes, senators, we know he’s everywhere doing everything except his job, thank you. Now, get your butts to work and make it happen. Obama is–God help us–president of the USA, not the US senate.
Now, I know that all of you are as up-to-date as one could wish, but don’t you wonder if the CiC actually knows what is going on in the world?

Maybe his Bo-ness is harking back to that aphorism from the 1960s: what if they gave a war, and nobody came? (sarc)
The presidemented really is running around without a clue. In many cultures ” face-to-face” meetings are the most important thing in getting business done. Before entering municiple service I worked for an agent for Global Van Lines and we did a lot of business with Mexico. All during the bidding process the co. President was there. On the first day of the job he was there. On the last day of the job he was there. On the days he was there a meal was also part of the day! Obumble just doesn’t get it!?!
Completely off-topic, Yat, is this you? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151680625870715&set=a.232638210714.181716.65907730714&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf
Hopefully the a-hole finds the time to return to DC on Nov 7 and pack his damn bags.
“They are just playing partisan politics to keep Obama from campaigning so Romney can steel the election.”
———————————————————-
We all know that Insipid and Joe are going to say something to that effect.
I just hope that when the debates start up, Romney has enough facts and figures to rebut everything that MOron says.
And this is in the news today, in case Bo missed it:

Should we send him a copy, just to bring his Boness up to date?
PH, maybe we should, otherwise it’ll be more of the say whatever you think your audience wants to hear. Yes, it was terrorism, no it wasn’t. I’m beginning to think Baracka’s not only narcissistic, he’s schizophrenic, or bi-polar.
