Chris Hayes whines about people wanting Obama to act like a Leader of the Free World

Weeee-ooooooo! Weeee-ooooooo!

Amazing that less than week after the attacks, we're gonna have newscycle devoted to a debate about participation in a photo-op.

Amazing that Chris Hayes manages to walk anywhere without slipping in puddles of his own drool.

@BenHowe I actually don't think the march itself was a photo-op at all. I'm referring to the actual photo-op of the world leaders.

— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 12, 2015

@BenHowe the march itself was profoundly beautiful and inspiring.

Excellent point.

@BenHowe @PressSec My issue is more w/ this controversy's relative importance.

— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) January 12, 2015

No, Chris, your issue is with the fact that the Obama administration looks bad.

It must be exhausting to have your default position be to always carry water for politicans: https://t.co/CvwhiaLRts

It ain’t easy, that’s for sure.

Yes folk, this is the defense they're going with to cover for Obama: 'just a photo op', 'just a march', etc. https://t.co/De8jBMtblq

People who talked for years about botched Bush 43 photo op in 2003 not interested in botched photo ops anymore. https://t.co/KBdKifXiHs

At least not this particular photo op …

@BenHowe @chrislhayes Really funny from the guy who has spent months promoting every Ferguson march/protest as extremely important.

.@chrislhayes If the Paris March is a "photo op," what does that make the marches in Ferguson, NYC & Oakland? A troubling assertion, Chris.

— jon gabriel (@exjon) January 12, 2015

Isn’t it, though?

So, to @chrislhayes The Unity March was just another photo-op

It just wasn’t as important or meaningful as something like, say, this:

Happening now: President Obama honors the @NBA Champion San Antonio @Spurs → http://t.co/6PtadmjwQF

"I want to commend the @Spurs for…hiring Becky Hammon as the first female full-time assistant coach in the @NBA" —President Obama

— White House Archived (@ObamaWhiteHouse) January 12, 2015

"If you guys need any tips on winning back to back, you know where to find me," Pres Obama tells 2014 NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) January 12, 2015

“Amazing” that Chris doesn’t notice anything off about Obama’s priorities.

He couldn't get to the DC rally organized by the French Embassy Sunday, but President Obama has time for the San Antonio Spurs today.

— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) January 12, 2015

Obama couldn't join world leaders against Islamic terrorism bc the Spurs are visiting the WH & he didn't want to be jetlagged for Tim Duncan
