It is a sad day when something like this has to be pointed out to the President of the United States.

But he doesn’t feel that way. You expect him to lie?

It is kinda disturbing that an organization whose whole job is reporting on the presidency has apparently been paying so little attention to who is President.

If a reporter being murdered and dismembered in a Consulate doesn’t bother him, you think he’s bothered by someone just getting punched?
