Obama Cracks Jokes While America is Bombed


Barack Obama was cracking jokes to the Congressional Black Caucus while America was getting bombed this Saturday. Unfortunately, the timing and the subject matter couldn’t have been worse.

“I don’t know about you guys, but I am so relieved that the whole birther thing is over,” Obama said. “I mean, ISIL, North Korea, poverty, climate change, none of those things weighed on my mind like the validity of my birth certificate.”

Unfortunately, at almost the same time Obama made his remarks, the Chelsea neighborhood was rocked by an explosion that injured at least 25 people. New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio said the explosion was “an intentional act,” and authorities reportedly found a second, undetonated pressure cooker device on a nearby street.

Maybe Obama could have redeemed his poor timing with a subsequent condemnation of terror in the United States after he learned of the attacks. Instead — and as usual — he refused to even acknowledge terror in his response.

We’ve seen what was apparently a pipe bomb go off in New Jersey, in Seaside Park, where it could have seriously injured our US Marines and spectators who were there for a race. The bombing in the Chelsea neighborhood here in New York injured more than two dozen people,” Obama said, recounting attacks believed to have been carried by Ahmad Khan Rahami, who was captured Monday morning.

Obama offered prayers for those who have been injured and praised police in New York City and New Jersey.

The president said “the investigation is moving rapidly” but didn’t offer more details — and refrained from commenting on the wannabe killer’s motivations.

Unfortunately, Obama’s refusal to acknowledge Muslim motives during acts of terror have become par for the course. While Obama has no trouble demonizing Christians across the country, Muslim men and women seem to be infallible.
