Oh he’s mindful.
Of himself.
So, as Twitchy reported, Chuck Todd debuted as host of “Meet the Press” Sunday morning. And then this happened:

On MTP, Obama explains his post-Foley golf: Blames press, 'theater' aspect of presidency…
— Byron York (@ByronYork) September 7, 2014
Obama: ""I should have anticipated the optics. That's part of the job."
— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) September 7, 2014
He shouldn’t have scurried off to the golf course after journalist James Foley was beheaded nor after his lame and pitiful statement on the beheading because theater.
Omg. RT @CarrieNBCNews: Obama: "I should have anticipated the optics" of playing golf after Foley beheading.

Oh well then. Will he at least take the sickening fist bump out of his next performance?
There really are no words to describe this disgrace of a man.

@josephcurl // this is really meant as an insult, but the press – as always – doesn't get it.

He didn't give a shit…..— Beebo (@beebobaby) September 7, 2014
@ByronYork The focus on how it LOOKED instead of the values he should have demonstrated … unbelievably tone-deaf comment by #Obama
— HeisenbergHattie (@HBergHattie) September 7, 2014
Telling that Obama says the "optics" of his golfing after Foley was the problem, not that golfing was inappropriate in itself.
— Winston Coolidge (@winstoncoolidge) September 7, 2014
It sure is.
Obama just can't admit it isn't optics, it isn't the press–it is the fact that he is a cold, self-centered man who doesn't give a damn.

Bingo. That’s the cold hard truth.
