Sometimes the President can be very odd indeed. In a pre-recorded interview with The Daily Show on Thursday night (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57535581/obama-to-jon-stewart-benghazi-deaths-not-optimal/), host Jon Stewart asked Obama what he thought about the deaths of 4 Americans during the September 11 attack on the US embassy in Benghazi, Libya. The President replied that it was “not optimal.” He was picking up on a sound bite used earlier by Stewart, but he could just as easily have stolen it from a Dalek. It’s an incredibly cold, robotic and insensitive way to describe a human tragedy. This is the quote:
“Here is what I will say, if four Americans get killed it is not optimal … And we are going to fix it, all of it. And what happens during the course of a presidency, you know the government is a big operation at any given time, something screws up and you make sure you find out what's broken and you fix it.”
"Bumps in the road", "not optimal". Sometimes I think he doesn't want to get reelected.
We should check to see if moochelle isn't forceing him to run so she can keep her perks.
