Showing Original Post only (View all)It may have not been the best moment for Pres. Obama? [View all]
OK, maybe Pres. Obama should have foregone the baseball game and flown back to the U.S. after the news of the bombing? I get it! And maybe he should receive some backlash for not coming back? I get it! But what I don't get! Why did these same people who criticized Pres. Obama, but never criticized Pres. Reagan for waiting to response to the Marine barracks bombing until he returned back from vacation? Or why they never criticized Pres. Geo. W. Bush for saying mission accomplished on a Navy ship, when we all knew that it was never accomplished? I could go on, but I am not here to jump on any bandwagon. No matter what Pres. Obama does, they will say it is wrong.

At this point, Obama accomplished at least 85% of what he wanted to do in office.

I am not knocking the POTUS, just putting into contexts of what people are saying.

Well, he's not running for re-election any time soon, so why does it even matter?
