In a fit of rage, Obama snaps at U.S. military brass: “Don’t you dare try and paint all of Islam with the same brush”
In a fit of rage, Obama snaps at U.S. military brass: “Don’t you dare try and paint all of Islam with the same brush”
Showing his Muslim stripes, Obama
threw a hissy fit and stomped out of a Pentagon meeting about the
bombing campaign against ISIS over remarks allegedly tying the Islamic
State (ISIS) to Islam.
UMB (h/t Free) His tantrum reportedly took place in the afternoon of last week just prior to the president’s departure to Camp David.
It was an informal briefing on the expanded bombing campaigns to take
place in both Syria and Iraq. Halfway through the already very brief
briefing, President Obama stood up clearly agitated, and walked out of
the room.
The casually dressed Obama returned to
the briefing moments later with a senior adviser alongside him, though
his mood continued to indicate he was still very upset.
The senior adviser made a couple
pointed remarks to the Pentagon representatives, reminded them the
president had already had a very busy day, and then both she and the
president once again left the room.
Within seconds, Barack Obama returned
again to the just concluded briefing, pointing at the still seated
Pentagon staff and indicating how “inappropriate” it was to “try and paint all of Islam with the same brush.” The
president repeated similar remarks, his mood going from agitation to
outrage. His voice carried to several other West Wing offices.
The senior adviser, who did not
originally return with the president into the briefing, suddenly
re-appeared alongside him, as well as the president’s personal aide.
She was smiling, and telling everyone “we’re done here” which she
repeated several times and then led the president back out into the
hallway.
