After the terrorist attacks in Paris, Barack Obama’s response has been – pretty much the same as it was before. Blame Republicans. Blame Bush. Blame climate change. He certainly can’t be bothered to muster up anything coming close to leadership or allaying anyone’s fears that America could be next on ISIS’s hit list. Nope. If you’re scared, then you just hate refugees.
And we wonder why Russia is stepping up their rhetoric against Islamic terrorism.
I’m not the only ticked off that our president is basically phoning it in when it comes to actually LEADING during times of crisis. Nicolle Wallace was on a panel during MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” and she let Obama have it. And it is a glorious sight to behold –
I don’t understand why he can’t tap into his own humanity,” she said of Obama. “He musters more of it about saving the planet than he does talking about keeping kids safe around this time of year when people are traveling. People are scared — and that’s not a partisan issue.”

It may be worth noting that no one on the MSNBC panel spoke up to disagree with express outrage at Wallace’s comments.
I know it’s “Morning Joe” and it’s not MSNBC’s typical rabid left-wing fare (then again, this isn’t Fox News saying this either). But, yeah – I haven’t heard one thing from Obama about helping the American people understand what happened or what is being done or anything to allay our fears. All I’ve heard is the usual accusations of hate and blame and racism, when most people hear that some of the terrorists in Paris were refugees from Syria – um, yeah! I think we have plenty reason to be scared. And the only thing liberals have done is tell us that we’re stupid for thinking that.
Is it any wonder that Obama’s approval numbers are so crappy?
