The only people who need to be embarrassed are the citizens of this country who enjoy the benefits of living here while trying to tear down the protection of rights that grant them that privilege.

The poll reflects international lack of confidence in the current US leadership.
YOU have a lack of confidence in the current US leadership.
So why so indignant? You want the disdain all to yourself?

"Indignant" requires emotional reaction. I don't much care about international opinion of our leadership. I am amused by the irony that they are concerned about our leadership because they have little themselves, and must look to us.
I am concerned for us about the lack of leadership, but certainly not indignant. That must be because I am becoming inured by the chronic lack of same on both sides of the aisle.

You go ahead and be embarrassed. I’m going to sit back and enjoy the economy coming back, our enemies sleepless nights, A Prez who can pick up a phone and rescue Americans being held hostage and consumer confidence and unemployment at record highs and lows.
Not to mention daily doses of news about depraved Democratic donors and casting couch perverts 99% of which are Dems.

Well? So far you’re off by a mile......

Not a man of his word... Or the "White House officials" are " liars."
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/poli...icle-1.3651126
"The commander-in-chief’s motorcade rolled into Trump International Golf Club at about 9:30 a.m.
That came less than two hours after White House officials said Trump had a jam-packed day full of phone calls and meetings."

That is some pretty comical reporting over at the nydaily news. A picture of POTUS golfing from when ever.
A picture tells a thousand stories, not just the one you post below it.

Per the caption: "as seen in 2012"
But, hey, who reads the captions?

Stock photos are used all the time in news stories. The editor says,"Here print this story and add a stock photo. The most unbecoming photo of the person you can find".

The story wasn't fake. He played golf and they printed a pic of him playing golf. It didn't have to be taken today. He wasn't hiding, the POTUS has no place to hide.
