Where is our president? We are under attack at all of our embassies in the Middle East and he can't get out of D.C. fast enough to get back to his campaign barbecue dinners. He is so busy campaigning that he can't find time to meet with the prime minister of Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu offered to work around Obama's schedule, but no go.

A leader would be in D.C. trying to get on top of this. This recent violence started on 9/11, and the YouTube video denigrating Mohammed is a sham of an excuse. These are terrorist attacks, pure and simple, planned well in advance of the video.

The Muslim terrorists know we are weak and that we are in the process of hollowing out our military. Obama hasn't made a move to resolve sequestration, which will severely cut our military and cost thousands upon thousands of jobs due to the domino effect.

As always, Obama puts self first and country last.
