So, with our embassies burning and besieged [1], our diplomats murdered [2], and the scent of war [3] wafting in from East Asia, what does President Obama do? Convene his Cabinet? Get briefings [4] from his national security staff? Ask Valerie Jarrett [5] what he should do?
Don’t worry, Citizen! The fourth-greatest [6] president EVAR!!! knows what comes first:
President Obama didn’t watch SNL season opener this weekend; watched a lot of football, per Josh Earnest on AF1 gaggle.

Now, don’t you feel better?
Like I’ve said before, I don’t begrudge presidents their recreational time; they have a demanding, darned hard job.
I just wish he’d try to do it once in a while, instead of just pretending [8].
