Comme d'habitude.

Que des conneries Comme d'habitude.
Bullshit as usual.

Sans blague. Ce serait risible, si ce n'était pas si tragique.
No kidding. It would be laughable if it were not so tragic.

The wonders of Google-Translate!

How fast would you think it would get locked?

Itsumo no yo ni detarame.
いつものようにでたらめ。
Jodan wa arimasen. Sore wa so higeki-tekide wa nakatta baai, soreha waraerudarou. 冗談はありません。それはそう悲劇的ではなかった場合、それは笑えるだろう。

All their dictator dreams come true. LOL.

en masse, and by popular demand, request that PBO stay on, what with the specter of Drumpf looming before them.

To consult the experts on how to become a dictator!

with the same brush, because she stands behind his foreign policy.

They're SO transparent. What vicious, un-American ideologues they are.

Their bad faith and sanctimony are truly astonishing.

Had to change channels. They painted him as an uncaring, ineffective CiC and leader.

Personally, I wish he had addressed the attack with a little more detail and vigor on what the Admin was doing to assist. Let's face it: many Americans want and need tough talk to make them feel better, remind them that such an attack is unlikely here, etc. It's not about substance anymore, but appearance. I guess Guiliani, Scab, and Hayden would sleep better hearing tough talk and blustering bravado.

He addressed a European issue first thing that morning in his Cuban-wide speech. The US itself was NOT under attack.

It would've been inappropriate to spend more time speaking of a European situation in a Latin American context.

He will, I'm sure, address the realities more profoundly on his arrival back in the States.

ETA: And therein lies the problem..."I guess Guiliani, Scab, and Hayden would sleep better hearing tough talk and blustering bravado."

Our problem in the US is the cowardice and constant reliance on appearance and superficial details. Scab has the vapors.

Why anybody listens to, or gives ink or air time to, these asshats is beyond me. Maybe they're paid to do so.

"Know thine enemy", a dictum that has held true through the ages. That's why I even occassionally wade into the swamp that is Faux News.

Useful to know what new BS will be winging its way through cyberspace in the coming hours and days.

had his packed up and scurried back to 1600 PA they either would have found SOME reason to slam him because this is a meme waiting a rationalization - he is weak because they want him to be weak, reality and facts are disposable in the breathless effort to support that meme.

The "situation" was over. All that was left was the hunt for the criminals who hadn't blown themselves up.

Plus, the President can do about as much from AF1 as he can sitting in DC.

Like posing on that battleship deck...

...although his words were ignored while "news media" scrambled to ask "important people" what he should have done, or had listeners call in with their opinions, or pundits sat around debating it themselves.

This:

he is doing the EXACT right thing in nearly every instance.

But, this assholes do desperately want him to be what they want him to be, they are blinded by it.

Oh wait. Never mind.

to spew such codswallop, when this pic is still engraved on our national memory:

reading 'My Pet Goat" to the children.

repercussions from this historic, ground-breaking state visit.

They MUST destroy PBO's legacy at all costs, because it will bear directly on the outcome of the election in November.

Bush would have done this even when his own country was under attack.

attendance at a state-sponsored ballgame, with just this shameful incident.

Welcome to DU, man of few words...

which goes a long way to explaining JEB's! dismal showing in the primaries.

It was not an attack on Americans, or by Americans. It was a crime committed in another country with no crossover to US involvement at all. It doesn't really warrant scurrying back to Washington.

Reagan stayed at his ranch and enjoyed splitting wood when the 1985 El Descanso bombing in Madrid Spain (Islamic terrorists) happened. Eighteen died. Reagan never even mentioned it in his diaries. (See entry for April 12, 1985 and the days before at http://www.reaganfoundation.org/white-house-diary.aspx.) Hypocrisy very much?

The RW'ers are just in perpetual attack mode. They'll make as much noise as they can. Bitch, bitch, bitch.

Especially this:
