Obama “at his most passionate when he’s attacking Republicans”. Perhaps he should to focus his passion and energy on our real enemies"
-- Carly Fiorina
His speech were he couldn't get any energy for the attacks in Paris but got all worked up when challenging critics is one of the low points of his presidency.
Listen, he is my president and commander. But there are some things as a leader you simply do not do. His recent speech calling out the GOP for being "scared of orphans and widows" is unreasonable.
We are all trying to work together and as president, he has to be a bit more understanding for his country, not for those that funded him through college. There are some things you just leave alone during the time of crisis. The candidates are voicing the concerns of their country.

That is because they are his true enemies. The 'real enemies' are closer to being his friends than the majority of US citizens because they oppose his agenda to undermine our great nation.
After looking like an incompetent fool for calling ISIS "contained" hours before Paris had its worse attack since WWII and being called out by the CNN reporter for the "JV team" comment, he's angry and lashing out.
Mocking Republicans over this—as liberals spent much of yesterday doing on my Twitter stream—seems absurdly out of touch to a lot of people. Not just wingnut tea partiers, either, but plenty of ordinary centrists too. It makes them wonder if Democrats seriously see no problem here. Do they care at all about national security? Are they really that detached from reality?
Mocking it is the worst thing we could do. It validates all the worst stereotypes about liberals that we put political correctness ahead of national security. It doesn't matter if that's right or wrong. Ordinary people see the refugees as a common sense thing to be concerned about. We shouldn't respond by essentially calling them idiots. That way lies electoral disaster.
Liberals do put political correctness ahead of national security, by the way.
