While Japan is in Ruins and Libya is in Flames Obama Readies his NCAA Backets: Tone Deaf Much?

And people wonder why "No Drama Obama" is thought of as such a poor leader.

And Obama may have given opponents another talking point by following through, despite the alarming news from overseas, on a promise to appear in a nine-minute ESPN segment to share his NCAA basketball tournament picks.

“Most people when it comes to Obama, you know what they’re anticipating? His NCAA brackets,” Rush Limbaugh fumed on his syndicated radio show Tuesday. “Every year at this time people wonder what the president’s brackets are going to be, who he’s gonna pick?

“We got the world on fire. We got Libya and the Middle East on fire and the guy’s out playing golf,” he added, referring to the round Obama played  Sunday.

Yes, Obama was playing golf instead of monitoring what is happening in Japan and getting on the horn with the Japanese Prime Minister. Maybe he could tour the damage of one of our closest Allies from an aircraft coming off the deck of the Ronald Reagan. Just go out there and say that America stands behind something other than yet another round of golf. 

What was even more galling is that he is poring over his Bracketology instead of trying to figure out a way to help the Libyan Rebels not be massacred by their dictator. Maybe the Ohio State State basketball team has some insight into a No Fly Zone or the damaged Japanese nuclear sites. I mean they would probably do a better job then this "Out of Touch" Obama.

Plus I would be willing to bet that President Hillary Clinton would be investing more time into Libya than Obama does in Houston which is the site of the NCAA Final Four.
