Right-wing media are indignant that President Obama appeared in a BuzzFeed video taking a selfie and saying "YOLO" as part of a promotion for HealthCare.gov.

Michelle Malkin: "America's Commander-In-Chief Is Goofing Off ... While The World Burns." In a February 12 tweet, conservative commentator Michelle Malkin responded to the BuzzFeed video by accusing Obama of "goofing off ... while the world burns":

Fox's Heather Childers: Obama Said "YOLO," But "You Know Who's Not Alive?" Kayla Mueller. On the February 13 edition of American's Newsroom, host Heather Childers linked Obama's BuzzFeed video to the death of Kayla Mueller, an American hostage killed by the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL). Citing Obama's use of the acronym YOLO, she claimed:

CHILDERS: So, the way this whole thing ended, that's what I want to talk about. The president says, 'YOLO, man.' And for people at home, who may not know what that stands for -- YOLO stands for 'You Only Live Once.' Well, you know who's not alive, Juan, now? Kayla Mueller.

1. Give Obama a break!

It's not like he blew off a national security alert saying bin laden was determined to attack American soil because he was on vacation on his ranch....

4. And they were all outraged at Bush's skit looking for WMDs at the White House

Correspondents Dinner in 2004...while the world really WAS burning. Literally. From our bombs.

Right?

Tons of outrage then right?

6. Conservatives attack Obama for waking up in the morning...

...and acting like a "1D tween" is Malkin's business model.

7. Thanks Obama for giving the Republicans something else to complain about! No really Thank you!!! Ha

who care what these jealous fools have to say. They only wish they could reach young people the way Obama appeals to them. They have no candidate with this capability. They are humorless, sourpusses!!

8. Perhaps Obama should take up mountain biking, now this would put him on top of

Things. It doesn't matter what Obama does, says and moves the RW NJ are right on top if everything.

9. Those lazy conservative shitstains can't even be bothered to show up in Congress to work

--while the world burns. Even when they are now the majority, as Franken pointed out.
