Obama and the Flippancy of Fools

Articles: Obama and the Flippancy of Fools
Over the last 7 years of the Obama era, Barack Obama and his team have regularly responded to serious questions with flippant responses. 
Don’t Americans deserve better than the flippancy Obama and his top officials dish out to us?
The below compendium is just a sample (or a smidgen in Obama terminology).
When asked why his trillion-dollar stimulus produced far fewer “shovel ready jobs” than he promised to urgently promote its passage, Barack Obama laughed off the issue: 
“Shovel-ready was not as shovel-ready as we expected.”  
The laughter will be little solace for taxpayers on the hook to pay back the debt that financed that union-enriching boondoggle.
When asked about the risk of terrorism arising from his abandoning Iraq, he flippantly dismissed these concerns by comparing the resurgent Al Qaeda to a “Jayvee team” that “puts on Lakers uniforms… that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant.”
His flippancy -- his lack of concern and interest in dealing with Islamic terrorism -- has led to the rise of what has become the richest terror group in the world.
He routinely shows the same insouciance whenever there are murders perpetrated by Muslims.
When a man claiming allegiance to ISIS killed four Jews in a deli in Paris in January 2015, Obama dismissed the deliberate targeting of Jews since he said the attack was someone who just “randomly” shot “a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.” 
The facts: the deli was Jewish, all the victims were Jewish (non-Jewish customers and employees were spared) and the murderer had said he was targeting Jews.
They weren’t a bunch of random folks in a deli.
Barack Obama could not bring himself to join other world leaders to protest the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris.
Did the French feel they were blessed with a consolation prize of James Taylor singing during a John Kerry visit?
Was that flippant?
Or did the French feel they were being flipped the bird?
...Barack Obama specializes in these as the below gallery will show.
Here he is, right after announcing the beheading of an American by ISIS:


Here he is at Nelson Mandela’s funeral service, taking yet another selfie:

...What is it about the deaths of others that put Obama in a jaunty mood?
...We may laugh at flippancy from a comedian but we deserve better from our nation’s leadership.
