HOLLOW WORDS – AT 8:46 A.M. ET:  Increasingly, President Obama is not taken seriously.  Maybe it's because his words ring so hollow after five and a half years in office.  From the New York Post: 

President Obama said he wakes up thinking of the Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Islamist extremists and facing a life as sex slaves, and wishes he “could reach out and save those kids.”

“We only need to look at today’s headlines — the devastation of Syria, the murders and kidnappings in Nigeria, sectarian conflict, the tribal conflicts — to see that we have not yet extinguished man’s darkest impulses,” Obama said at a Los Angeles fund-raiser late Wednesday.

“I have this remarkable title right now — president of the United States,” Obama said. “And yet every day when I wake up, and I think about young girls in Nigeria or children caught up in the conflict in Syria . . . there are times in which I want to reach out and save those kids.”

COMMENT:  I'm sure we're all so moved.  This president has done all he can to weaken the United States, both militarily and morally.  His interest in the Nigerian schoolgirls apparently began when the story finally hit the headlines.  We now know that his administration refused to label the group holding the girls as a terrorist organization. 

This man is a fraud.  On the day of the Fort Hood terrorist massacre, he went to a government agency and engaged in some light banter before even mentioning the attack.  His administration then labeled it "workplace violence," trying to cover up the Islamist connection. 

I cannot take expression of Obama's concern seriously.
