Taliban. im not saying that the malaysian prime minister is in that league, but what happened to the so-called smart diplomacy of the obama administration? why isnt he playing golf with anwr ibrahim or speaking up. look, when he he went to asia earlier this year he didnt even bother to go say hello to the opposition leader who has been persecuted now for more than a decade by the same political party that najeeb is the head of. its shocking. >> very telling when you look at this image here whose...

The golf course. listen, is he a human being, he needs his time to decompress. george bush actually said that about president obama in 2013. i think it was an interview with golf channel or "golf digest" one of the two. they asked him if president obama was golfing too much. president bush said listen, every president needs something, some break from the stress of it all. >> well, the bushes are always very gracious to be under standing, they dont make barbs at other presidents or sitting presid...

Golfing, they have made some bad communication decisions, they dont want to run around -- but if he doesnt go and the violence is exacerbated, in that the scenario, hes also in trouble. >> i think he should zpa out of ferguson, i dont think its a good idea. theres a lot of unrest there and tempers are flying. if you want to make a statement, you need to do it elsewhere. you dont meet to go into that environment. >> if you go into hurricane sandy, where theres people suffering and the victims, yo...
