Obama--tearful & in pain--sought solace at the golf course after beheading revelation

  Outrage of the day.
  Having brilliantly intuited after the brouhaha over the press conference where he publicly lamented the beheading of an American and seven (7) minutes later appeared on the golf course grinning like a hyena, Obama tried today to "fix" his "optics" problem by claiming--you probably didn't know this--he had been tearful and "heartbroken" over the whole beheading thing and how bad he felt for the family. 
  The Hill reports that Obama on MTP has declared that one of the reasons he was off kilter was because he was on vacation:
“It is always a challenge when you’re supposed to be on vacation...."
  And just in case we missed the whole tearful Obama part, let's go over it again.
"There's no doubt that — after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the pain that they were going through, after the statement that I made, that you know, I should've anticipated the optics....That's part of the job."
  He's listening to the family's "pain" on the phone, shortly thereafter appears in front of the camera to make the obligatory perfunctory presidential statement, then scuttles over to the golf course seven (7) minutes later, even though he felt really really bad about the whole beheading thing. Like this:

  And like this, courtesy Political Clown Parade:
    Can't you sense his pain over their pain? He's just oozing pain and tears.
  But, seriously, anybody who really knows Obama knows, even though there will always be "tough news" to deal with, as he says, that he takes "all this stuff in" (like the beheadings stuff) because it's "serious business" (the beheadings are) and "you care very deeply about it," oddly avoiding the first person.
  Oh, and this, ROTFLMYO statement from WaPo:
"Part of this job is also the theater of it," Obama said, adding that "it's not something that always comes naturally to me.  But it matters."
   I just, I just can't even crack on that line, so obviously fabricated to cover his original insouciance.
  The part about the theater not coming naturally to him. 
  The part about his not being able to even fake sincerity. Like, the part about who are you gonna believe me or.
  I just can't even quip on that.
  Probably because of the whole beheadings stuff.
  It kinda throws me off kilter.
  Maybe I need to head to the golf course so I could feel a little more detached.
  That's where I do my best thinking, after all.
