'Calm things down'...for his priorities' sake

Just as Obama proclaimed Wednesday that his apology for the Quran burning had "calmed things down"...

ABCNews: President Obama said his formal apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the burning of Korans by U.S. troops last week has "calmed things down" after the incident sparked an outbreak of violence across the country.

Less than a day later, those words came back to bite him...



No worries for Obama, though...that hasn't stopped him from hitting triple digits in the war chest that counts most towards his benefit.

CBSNews: By day's end, President Obama will hit 100 on the campaign fundraising scoreboard. He reaches the century mark by doing four money-raising events for his re-election campaign during a seven-hour swing through New York City. The visit follows a speech this afternoon here in Nashua, New Hampshire on the energy components of his strategy to boost the economy and create jobs.

See how he continues to subsidize his reelection on the backs of the taxpayers with these phony speeches? But perhaps more troubling, is his priorities: his campaign and the rhetoric that follows it supersedes resolute decisions concerning Afghanistan and our military members in harms way.
