From the UK:" 'Part of this job is also the theater of it... it doesn't come naturally to me':  Obama admits playing a round of golf right after address on ISIS beheading of journalist James Foley didn't look good"

"Obama, who was on vacation at the time of Foley's murder, was heavily criticized for heading to the golf course at Martha's Vineyard where he was vacationing on August 21.

He said he was 'heartbroken' over Foley's death and that it was hard for him to hold back tears while speaking with his family.

"Obama blamed the contrasting images partially on how the press follows him everywhere, even while he is 'supposed to be on vacation'. 

"He said there's always potential for bad news to occur, and sometimes it'll happen while the president is on holiday."    Read more:

Talk about optics, remember the video of Bill Clinton at the Ron Brown funeral going from laughing to crying in one second?

 

" ...he's admitting there is he doesn't really care, folks. It's more than empathy. It's more than lacking empathy. It's just he doesn’t care, which I don't think is any new revelation. But, at the same time, Obama says I'm supposed to get better at the "theater" of things, like Clinton. Remember the Ron Brown memorial?

"Clinton's walking into the Ron Brown memorial, and he's laughing and he's yukking it up. This is a memorial for a guy who died in a plane crash, one of his cabinet members, and he's walking into the memorial outside, and he's laughing and yukking it up with Tony Campolo, a religious figure from Pennsylvania -- and then he spots a camera!

"And within half a step, he started crying."
