Audio recording has recently been released to the public, and it is
causing quite the stir. Captured during an interview, President Barack
Obama recalled learning that 10 American troops had been captured, and
his response just may be enough to make you lose it completely.
The conversation was recorded during a recent interview between
Politico
reporter Glenn Thrush and Obama regarding the 2016 presidential
election. However, the conversation took a turn when Obama sought to
complain about how difficult his presidential duties were.
Hitting on the point that he was forced to focus on many different
things at once, the conversation geared towards the recent incident
where Iran took 10 U.S. sailors prisoner. As
heard amid the interview, Obama recalled:
“This job right here, you don’t have the luxury of just focusing on
one thing,” Obama said. “You’ll recall, I was sitting at my desk there
just a little over a week ago, writing my convention speech, my State of
the Union speech, and somebody walks in and says, ‘A couple of our
sailors wandered into Iranian waters.’”
Then, both Obama and Thrush laughed together.
Personally, I’m not quite sure what part of that is funny,
but I can’t help but wonder if Obama felt the same way when he
originally heard the news. The job of the president is no easy task, but
for a president to complain about it during his 8th year is beyond ridiculous.
He knew – or at least should have known – what the job
entailed before he ran for the position, so whining about it only makes
him sound weak. Secondly, it should never be thought of as funny or
comical when our troops are taken prisoner by another nation.
I don’t know about you, but I’m just about ready to lose it
when it comes to the idiocy of the man purportedly leading our nation.
The things this president finds funny are most certainly not in line
with American values. His final year can’t end soon enough.
