NYT blogger scrapes to find the secret brilliance in Obama's failure

New York Times blogger and apparent Obama lapdog Robert Mackey really wants to discover how the President’s not going to Paris was actually a brilliant decision made for the good of all mankind.

Could concern about jeopardizing nuclear talks with Iran at a sensitive stage explain why US sent no representative to Paris march?

It’s almost enough to make one feel embarrassed for him. Almost.

Much snark ensued.

@RobertMackey what?

.@gabrielmalor They're like cult members trying to explain why their god didn't return on the appointed day.

@exjon His tweet literally stunned me for a second. It was that inchoate.

.@gabrielmalor The obvious answer — Obama f-ed up — never occurs to them. It has to be some brilliant third-dimensional chess move.
