White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday that President Obama is scheduled to visit San Bernardino, California this week where a couple shot more than 20 victims earlier this month.

“While he is en route to Honolulu, the President will stop in San Bernardino, California to visit privately with the families of the victims of the terror attack in San Bernardino that occurred earlier this month,” Earnest said during his daily media briefing.

Aaaand, now it is the GOP’s turn to criticize the “thoughts and prayers” response.

doesn’t take psychic powers to anticipate the response of the knee-jerk I-Hate-Obama crowd: “HE SHOULD JUST STAY AWAY! WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ABOUT HIM? WHY DOES HE HAVE TO POLITICIZE EVERYTHING?”

My gosh – doesn’t he eat enough baby parts in the White House? Must he go scouring around San Bernardino’s Planned Parenthood facility for extra pieces?

Thanks, Obama! It’s all about you, isn’t it?

         This President = = = Class Act !
