COMMON SENSE: President Obama doing the wave at a baseball game, sitting beside a ruthless dictator, conjures images of Nero fiddling while Rome burned. This isn’t the first time Obama has been in the wrong place at the wrong time, when terrorism has reared its ugly head, nor is it the worst. Playing golf ten minutes after speaking about Foley’s decapitation may have been more inappropriate, or perhaps it was Obama partying with Beyonce in Vegas the night after the Benghazi attack.
Such images of Obama being asleep at the wheel tell us a great deal about the man. If these attacks had been perpetrated upon Muslims by Christians or Jews, do you believe Obama would be so cavalier about them? I do not. His outrage would be palpable.
The reason Obama doesn’t take these assaults, and others like them, seriously is they do not fit into his narrative of reality. Consequently, he denies the gravity of what is happening by doing what he does best, having fun. At this point in his administration, being a lame-duck, he is more disengaged than ever, choosing to double-down on his core beliefs that Islam is a religion of Peace and that there is no reason to keep GITMO open. After all, we have won the War on Terror—at least according to the American version of Nero.
