Nope, can't say Obama's long-awaited visit to tornado-ravaged Joplin, MO was inspirational. It was anything but, as Gateway Pundit succinctly informs:
Obama posed for pictures then boarded an aircraft for Joplin.
While in Joplin he will take a 10 minute tour of the town in his car.
He will speak with the tornado victims for 10 minutes.
He will then give a 10 minute speech at Missouri Southern University.
Then he’ll get the hell out of there… After he pauses for more pictures.
Hmmm, what was the rush? Well, perhaps he needed a good nights sleep for Memorial Day's festivities? The Lonely Conservative reports, "After spending a few hours Monday morning observing Memorial Day, President Obama, the Commander in Chief, decided to hit the links and spend the rest of the day on the golf course." The site also focuses on Nile Gardiner's UK Telegraph article, "Barack Obama's decision to play golf on Memorial Day was disrespectful and hardly presidential."
This man spent more time playing golf than he spent with veterans and servicemembers' families on Memorial Day or touring the devastated remnants of Joplin, MO (of course, a week after the completion of his European tour).
This is beyond a disconnect or even bad judgment...this is inexcusable. Yet, the liberal media hasn't batted an eye. Another pass for Obama. I know in their eyes and his, Americans aren't as exciting as the British monarchy or the social utopias of Europe, but Americans of all stripes should take the multitude of repugnant actions and reactions similar to these under consideration when entering the voting booths in 2012, don't you think?
ADDENDUM: As one might imagine, Levin had a few things to say about Obama's inexcusable behavior on Tuesday's show...
