    Americans perish, "president" jokes
Some 23 Americans along with 272 others perished Thursday when warring military factions allegedly shot down a Malaysian Airlines jet over eastern Ukraine.
But who cares?
The occupant of the Oval Office seemingly doesn't. The "president" was in Delaware to give a transportation speech when he announced the news. He said, "Before I begin, obviously the world is watching reports of a downed passenger jet near the Russia-Ukraine border. And it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now we're working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. That is our first priority."  What followed was a show of lack of respect and manners, and a show of the true heart of this man.
 He said, "And I've directed my national security team to stay in close contact with the Ukrainian government. The United States will offer any assistance we can to help determine what happened and why. And as a country, our thoughts and prayers are with all the families and passengers, wherever they call home. I want to thank Jeremie for that introduction. Give Jeremie a big round of applause. It is great to be in the state that gave us Joe Biden. We've got actually some better-looking Bidens with us here today. We've got Beau and his wife, Hallie, are here. Give them a big round of applause. We love them."  Then there were more jokes...to great applause and laughter.

Acknowledging Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, he said: "Jack Lew's signature is actually on your money, although it's kind of illegible. We teased him when he first became treasury secretary that he was going to have to fix his signature a little bit because it looked just like a caterpillar running along the bottom."
And then he launched into a bragging session about how many jobs he has created, and how those nasty Republicans were getting in the way of creating good union jobs and causing gridlock in rebuilding the national highway system. He said, "That's what right now Republicans in Congress don't seem to be focused on. But until they do get focused on it, I'm going to do whatever I can to create jobs rebuilding America on my own." 
From the official White House   transcript there was no solemn moment for the victims of the plane crash.
No more mention of the tragedy-
-just jokes and blame and self aggrandizing.


This is a "president"   - - of division, lies, irreverence, pride, ego, deception and delusion.
Not judging, just telling it like it is. 
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
