According to Ann Coulter, America should be ignoring the World Cup. So, please pick a lane.

Vacuous performance art. Their hearts arenā€™t even in it anymore.

Yes, amazing that heā€™s not there since he planned the whole World Cup thing to distract from Benghaziā„¢.

Faux Snooze approach to reporting on POTUS:
Damned if he does, damned if he doesnā€™t.

They Report, You Decide which type of damnation fits the Presidentā€¦

Not just Ann Coulter. Multiple FOX ā€œanchorsā€ criticized all American interest in soccer and interest in the World Cup in particular in the past week. They canā€™t even keep their own opinions straight anymore!

Wait, I thought the World Cup was some sort of fruity ā€œEuropeanā€ style distraction?

I wish these anti-American freaks over at Fox would pick a contrived ā€œcontroversyā€ and reason to hate the POTUS and stick with it.

Kenyan socialist, or socialist Kenyan? We report, you decide.

I thought they were yelling the other day that ā€˜the World Cupā€™ was a distraction for Obama.

Benen has the rundown on how Boehner has cut staffers by 20% but upped PR people by 15% in the House. So all the GOP has is spin, spin, spin, and often, as in this case, they spin all the way aroundā€¦

ā€œOur great land faces too many issues for the POTUS to do what he isnā€™t doing! God help us all! Wait, what?ā€

ā€¦and had he attended they would have ā€˜flip the scriptā€™ and complaining about Obama not focusing on Iraq, Syria, (fake) Benghazi, and the rains in the Midwest.

Damned Fox News.

I imagine the responses from the Fox News audience goes something like this ā€œObama should be at the socker game supportinā€™ Muricaā€

One word: PATHETIC

Absolutely, the question would be: Why is Obama off partying the World Cup when we still donā€™t have answers on Benghazi, the IRS scandal, Fast & Furious, and we still havenā€™t gotten to the bottom of Bergdahlā€™s desertion? Is this yet another attempt to distract the American people?

Only 2 million people watch FOX News in primetime (much less during the day) and almost 61 million people voted for Romneyā€¦pretty
small contact with the baseā€¦

Yes, Obama, our President, elected twice, should travel to Brazil three days before the Fourth of July, when tensions escalate all over the world elsewhere, just so that Obama can say he supported America in a ball game in Brazil. And, of course, the cost of flying there would then become controversial, and the cost of him staying there spending billions a night, right? Letā€™s send Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio just to represent us thereā€¦ and forget to pick them up to fly back home.

Haha, they donā€™t know that he has to be in Washington to move the money that was needed for Brazil to beat Columbia, pay off the refs in the France/Nigeria game, arrange to have the Algerian coachā€™s wife kidnapped, and activate the chip in the head of Costa Ricaā€™s captain. He canā€™t do all that if he is just sitting there watching.

Heā€™s cleverly hiding his fingerprints on the World Cup caper, and planning some new distraction scheme while vacationing at his Nairobi palace.
