They made a simple request. Rubio is OUTRAGEOUS!
I hear the parents are writing him a letter. Don't know if that's true, but they should.
Is Rubio really an American?
Here is the context:
Here is the context...
The front page of the Tampa Bay Times is actually a NYT article. (They're lazy).
It's quoting Obama, "WE WILL BE RELENTLESS"
http://www.tampabay.com/news/nation/world-appalled-by-beheading-obama-says-as-us-continues-airstrikes/2193945
Inside the paper where the article continues, they have "sidebars" on the side of the page. There are not links for this. But I'll type what I'm reading in the paper. The sidebar is called "Daily Developments" and has little short stories, ex: Prime Minister Cameron now wants to investigate the british accent of the beheader. To see if they are actually british. Can he tell this? Not my point.
Then it gets to Rubio: His very own sidebar shortee:
Rubio Criticizes Obama
"At least one lawmaker seized on the beheading as the evidence that Obama had not done enough to confront the Sunni militants and to acknowledge them as a direct threat to Americans.
"I remain deeply concerned that despite the preponderance of evidence that proves ISIL is a fundamentally evil and dangerous terrorist threat to the United States, President Obama continues to appear unwilling to do what is necessary to confront ISIL and communicate clearly to the American people about the threat ISIL poses to our country and to our way of life"
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FLA, said in a statement AFTER the video's release.

Now, could this be why Foley's mother came out on TV to ask to not CRITICIZE and come together? Is this why she began to cry? Because of fucks like Rubio, who are not statemen, and shoot from the hip at a terrible time when leadership is needed? I know who and what he is, and he does this all the time, when it comes to Obama. But he did this, he jumped right after the video release!
THAT'S MY FECKING CONTEXT. I'm angry he needs to be sanctioned. This needs to be kicked and he needs to apologize to the parents...PRONTO! So I am begging DU members to kick this into outer space and put him on NOTICE. His politicking at times like this WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!!! Thank you.
