Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell says President Barack Obama's comments about taking vacation in the midst of "tough news" reveals him as "an utter, complete, undeterred narcissist."
On Sunday's "Meet the Press" on NBC, the commander in chief spoke about his controversial golf game after speaking about the beheading by the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) of American journalist James Foley.
"It's always a challenge when you're supposed to be on vacation because you're followed everywhere. And part of what I'd love is a vacation from the press," the president said.
"Listen to how he started that comment: 'when you're supposed to be on vacation,'" Bozell said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on
Newsmax TV.
"Not the president of the United States. The president of the United States is on call 24 hours a day. Whether he's on vacation or on the moon, that is his job. And if [he] can't, the country, the world doesn't stop while the president's on vacation.
"He was talking [like] a petulant child who gets caught doing something wrong instead of saying he shouldn't have done that at all. To me, it was a stunning, stunning narcissistic comment," Bozell said.
