It’s a cartoon…and that’s why we’ve got the First Amendment,” Obama said. “And I think the American people are probably spending a little more time worrying about what’s happening with the banking system and the housing market, and what’s happening in Iraq and Afghanistan, than a cartoon. So I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about it.”

“I’ve seen and heard worse,” he said. “I do think that, you know, in attempting to satirize something, they probably fueled some misconceptions about me instead. But, you know, that was their editorial judgment.

Well just as many people feel that OBAMA is tasteless and offensive.

He’ll meet with the Palestian leadership, but won’t meet with General Petraeus.

He won’t meet with any of the brave men and women of the US Military..but insists that “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set, We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”
