And ’round and ’round we go.

Speaking before the House Armed Services Committee today, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel dropped an interesting little bomb:

Let’s go to the videotape:

Transcript via Gateway Pundit:

“That same day President Obama received a personal commitment in a personal telephone call from the Emir of Qatar to uphold and enforce the security arrangements and the final decision was made to move forward with the exchange on that day.“

Wait … what?

Obama’s phone call priorities seem out of whack [corrected]

Editor’s note: After publishing this post, it came to our attention that President Obama reportedly called the families of Brian Terry and Amb. Stevens. Twitchy apologizes for the error.

In the interest of transparency, Twitchy does not remove posts once they have been published. The original post remains below.

President Obama has yet to comment on the killing of U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Harold Greene in an attack in Afghanistan that wounded many others. It’s hard not to notice the situations Obama comments on publicly when he wants to, not to mention the phone calls he finds time for:

Rawr! Obama #PajamaBoy selfie & other mash-ups & memes [Photoshops]

http://twitter.com/#!/iowahawkblog/status/413150207669325824

On Monday, the world cringed and giggled as it met Pajama Boy, @BarackObama’s masculinity-challenged, onesie-clad spokesmodel for Obamacare. Rawr!

http://twitter.com/#!/BarackObama/status/413079861922508800

The mockery was swift and sure and something called “masculonormative.” Heh.

http://twitter.com/#!/allahpundit/status/413152485495160832

It continued through the night with mash-ups and other sidesplitting Photoshops. Jon Gabriel’s brilliant #PajamaBoy selfie was the early and undefeated winner, with over 300 retweets. Care to double that, Twitchy readers?

All that’s missing is creepy Jim in a Hoodie-Footie. And if we know Twitter (and we think we do), there will be a Sirota douche-punch onesie by the end of the day. Don’t disappoint us! (We’re looking at you, @CuffyMeh, @ExJon and @Matthops82.)

Editor’s note: It’s important to us that the Photoshoppers are properly credited for their work. If you spot a stolen pic, please let us know so we can shame the thief and give props to the right people.

An observation from Jonathan Martin of this ny occasions:

— Jonathan Martin (@jmartNYT) September 12, 2014

But Jeffrey Goldberg associated with the Atlantic shows that “Reluctant Warrior” had been taken. Too bad, Jeffrey. Call legal counsel:

@JeffreyGoldberg too-late, dude. We currently (TM'd) it.

Maybe this fixes it and avoids expensive trademark litigation?

@jmartNYT Then I'm choosing "Really unwilling Warrior."

Or this?

@JeffreyGoldberg @jmartNYT "The More Unwilling Than You Warrior."

— Adam Waxman (@awaxman) September 12, 2014

Although, here’s

He’s gone and switched this evening from being that reluctant warrior to being a real warrior against ISIS.

“Reluctant Warrior to Genuine Warrior.” Catchy.

At this pace, fundamentally the subject of this guide can be, “Obama: The Super, Really-Reluctant Warrior who’s today Like a One-Man SEAL Team 6.”

Exit question: Does the Warrior-in-Chief need hand back his Nobel Peace reward?

Guess who actor blames for Foley beheading (Not ‘stands for compassion’ Obama)

http://twitter.com/#!/lovelandnana/status/505892607617421312

As Twitchy reported, blame social media is the new blame Bush, at least according to President No Strategy. However, it seems that actor Eric Roberts, best known as brother of actress Julia Roberts, didn’t get that memo. Plus he’s, you know, cuckoo pants. Taking a page from Russell Crowe’s Obama-swoon book?

Baffled by Obama’s message: You aren’t alone. Consensus: ‘WTF?’

http://twitter.com/#!/mikenelson586/status/509873476384358401

Well, the best part of Obama’s message on Wednesday evening seemed to be the unusual echo. The speech it self? A hot mess.

Yep. Baffled by the befuddled idiocy? You aren’t alone.

And this it’s possible to have identified the actual only real evident reason behind the WTF-y speech:

http://twitter.com/#!/DL0910/status/509873643984539648

Plus, the super really serious image and all sorts of.

Relevant:

What’s up with the echo during Obama’s message? These proposed factors tend to be perfect

‘Umm…Huh?’: President says ‘ISIL is not Islamic’

This is actually the White House’s pre-speech Obama image and it’s pitiful

Obama to declare airstrikes against ISIS ‘wherever they occur’; Um. What about this, genius?

Don’t look today Obama, but givers are assisting to #NameObamaISISOperation [photos]

We agree this might be among the best reasons why you should watch an Obama speech

Approach decided? Obama to deal with the world Wednesday at 9 p.m. EDT regarding ISIS
