Wow. “The world’s always been messy … we’re just noticing now in part because of social media.”
Maybe that’s why Obama said ISIS was ‘JV’ in January. He was reading the wrong Twitter feed!
So, I guess we’ve gone from Obama finding out from the media to Obama finding out from social media.
Obama is always last to know everything.
