Krauthammer SLAMS Obama Over Hurricane Sandy Photo-Op (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, October 29, 2012, 6:15 PM
FOX News analyst Charles Krauthammer slammed Barack Obama tonight for holding a press conference in the Briefing Room where he hasn’t shown up in a while – and certainly not during the Benghazi consulate attacks.
Via Special Report:
Charles Krauthammer:
“Well, he says he’s not concerned about the impact on the elections. I’m sure he’s very sincere on that. But it is a little odd that he shows up in the Briefing Room where he hasn’t shown up in the Briefing Room for what, a month-and-a-half? For Libya or for anything else for that matter. Then you get the photo-ops of him in the Situation Room deploying I guess the utility crews who restore power all over America. Where you would think he might want to use the Situation Room to convene high level people during the night hours when our people were under attack in Benghazi. It’s hard to look at this, playing the president, playing the Commander in Chief in what’s a natural disaster that really doesn’t require a lot of from the White House. It’s up to the governors mostly. The White House and the government release money. That’s all they do and he’s really good at releasing money.”

Sometimes Krauthammer is right on it.
Larkin commented:
Sandy and obama have something in common…
They are BOTH natural disasters.
I take that back. obama is definitely a “man-caused disaster”.
Both disasters though.

What an arrogant poser! What kind of idiot is impressed by that crap?
Dubs commented:
Hi I’m Barack Obama…..I’m not really a President…I just play one on tv.
8 more days!!!!!
VOTE!!!!
Carolyn commented:
Well, it’s all for show! And the main stream media will lavish all sorts of praise for how concerned he is, how attentive he is! We’ll probably see pictures of him awake throughout the night, looking worried, as they point out what a caring man he is! It’s a little bit too late. Only foolish people will be impressed.

Barry playing, and I do mean play, Hero, just as NatGeo re-edits a controversial documentary to highlight the man’s no-existent exploits two days before the election.

“he’s really good at releasing money”
love it
FurryGuy commented:
Now if it weren’t money begged and borrowed on the lives and chattels of generations to come it wouldn’t be so bad. But O’boo-boo is indenturing our future and our children’s future so he can play hero today.

The hurricane is turning out to be another hype hoax, but an exceptionally costly one for Obama…He has repeated the McCain error of suspending his campaign to ” deal with a crisis ” ….but the causalties will not be of any severity to make Obama look all presidential. The real damage for Obama is the time this storm has taken off the calendar. It was too far in advance of election day to call for a postponement . It cut the weekend short…..3 days of nothing but weathermen on TV pointing at radars……no
obama speeches to sound bite…..3 days cutting into the nightly Obama infomercial at NBC news…..3 days of big city D mayors in blue states prepping for storms instead of get out the vote drives. 3 days freezing Romney’s lead at a polling peak … taking away critical time Obama needed to mount a rally. An act of God to save America from the Obama freak show.

I am in a fog. I live in a state where the big news is that obama is only up by 3 points, that Romney has a shot. I cannot believe how many people will vote for the greatest enemy of our country.

Releasing other people’s money….

Obama and his handlers think we’re really stupid. What a bad actor…..they wouldn’t even cast him in a “straight to video” production. Was this photo op shot right after he spent half a million dollars to deliver pizza in Florida?

“briefing room”
more
[[As noted yesterday by Washington Post opinion columnist Marc A. Thiessen, “the president was scheduled to hold the intelligence meeting at 10:50 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the attacks, but it was canceled so that he could comfort grieving employees at the State Department — as well he should.” However, the president decided to forgo on rescheduling his planned briefing because he needed to “attend a Las Vegas fundraiser for his re-election campaign. One day after a terrorist attack.”
As my colleague Ken Shepherd noted yesterday, “By contrast, Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting.” In fact, Thiessen wrote on September 10 that:
the former president held his intelligence meeting six days a week, no exceptions — usually with the vice president, the White House chief of staff, the national security adviser, the director of National Intelligence, or their deputies, and CIA briefers in attendance. Once a week, he held an expanded Homeland Security briefing that included the Homeland Security adviser, the FBI director and other homeland security officials. Bush also did more than 100 hour-long “deep dives” in which he invited intelligence analysts into the Oval Office to get their unvarnished and sometimes differing views.]
