Obama is too busy to bother commenting on Lybia. It's not that he doesn't have something to say, of course. It's just that he's a little tied up at the moment.
Right.
Sorry he hasn't been able to make any time in the last week to comment on innocent people being slaughtered for the cause of freedom. Of course, he has time to condemn the democratically-elected governor of Wisconsin. Because that's a fight Obama cares about: defending labour unions. Murder innocent civilians by strafing them from helicopter gunships and Obama is too busy to comment. But threaten the obscenely large pensions of labour unions and Obama has a cause he's passionate about.

The problem with Obama's lies
Of course, lying is a problem in and of itself. The extra problem with Obama's lies is that they're so obvious that they're insulting.
For instance, Obama claims to be "grappling" with the issue of gay marriage. Does anyone believe this? Obama, like all good liberals, is pro-gay marriage. He's also pro-abortion, pro-higher taxes, pro-big government, pro-global warming alarmism, etc. Everyone knows this. But Obama, lacking the spine required to say what he actually believes and knowing that he's out of touch with the average American, refuses to actually say what he believes. Hence, the lies.
In a surprise to no one, Obama's claim to be "grappling" with the issue of gay marriage comes at a time when he has decided to drop supporting the section of the Defense of Marriage Act that defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. Ah, yes. There's a shocker.
To recap: You had to be unspeakably naive to not know Obama was pro-gay marriage before he dropped support of DOMA. How clueless do you have to be to not realize it after he dropped support?
Yet Obama boldly tells this lie knowing that there are a few people dumb enough to believe it. But, more importantly, because he knows that there's a massive number of liberals (including the MSM) who, although they know he's lying, are delighted to join the lie because it advances one of their favourite causes.

Is anything NOT a Martin Luther King moment?
Jesse Jackson has declared the current showdown in Wisconsin to be a "real Martin Luther King moment". He then goes on to whine that democracy is at stake.
The first problem with this is that, if Jesse is to be taken seriously, pretty much everything is a Martin Luther King moment. He's a man who cheapens both MLK and what he stood for by likening his every weekly cause to MLK's.
The second problem is that democracy IS under attack here. Democratically elected officials desire to vote to implement policies consistent with everything they campaigned for and the Democrats, rather than accepting the will of the people, run away to a resort. Obama (of course) says he hasn't been following the Wisconsin situation too closely but, never one to let ignorance keep him from taking a stand, declares this exercise of democracy to be a travesty. Although, this is to be expected ... the majority of Americans opposed (and continue to oppose) Obamacare and he rammed it down everyone's throats anyway.

A sampling of Obama's failures
Since I have a job, I don't have time to compile anything close to a complete list. But, in no significant order, here are some of Obama's major failures:
- Repeatedly stabbing Israel in the back in order to appease terrorists and dictators. Quite apart from the moral bankruptcy of this practice, such appeasement has a 100% failure rate, so it makes it imbecilic as well as immoral.
- Wasting trillions of dollars in order to lose jobs.
- While spending trillions of dollars on garbage, slashing NASA's budget.
- His World Humiliation Tour where he played the sycophant to thugs and dictators, exaggerating or fabricating America's failures in a futile attempt to gain the approval of leaders and regimes whose daily activity is worse than America's worst lapses.
- Related to the last point, weakening America in the eyes of the world to the degree that Americans abroad are exponentially less safe because psychos the world over know that Obama is too weak and foolish to respond.
- Habitually lying about all of his policies (Obamacare, his budgets, etc.), thinking that everyone is too dumb to do anything other than accept any fanciful claim he makes.
- Betraying America's other allies (e.g. Poland and the Czech Republic) in yet another vain attempt to curry favour with yet another corrupt regime (in this case, Russia).
- Caving in to the Russians in the New START treaty which they've already said they don't feel the need to abide by even though they expect the U.S. to.
- Increasing both oil prices and America's dependence on terrorist regimes by undermining the U.S. oil industry at every opportunity. Thus, in order to cater to the environmentalist lobby, he has penalized every American by raising energy costs. Not only does this directly increase their cost of living (re: gasoline and heating prices), but it also indirectly increases the cost of living by forcing companies to raise prices on all products in order to offset higher energy costs. Moreover, he is undermining U.S. national security by forcing the U.S. to be increasingly dependent on unstable regimes for oil.
- Revealing his utter ignorance and disdain for all things military by not knowing how to pronounce corpseman.

Obama really IS a genius!
The liberals and the MSM (but I repeat myself) keep telling us how brilliant Obama is. Now, I know what you're thinking: only a left-wing shill could make that claim without laughing. I once thought so, too. But I've just realized that he really must be a genius. After all, could you spend $2 trillion and not create even one job? I know I couldn't. Even if I spent $2 trillion on Helen Thomas Barbies, someone would have to make them!
