He's checking with his overlords on how to respond.
Probably something like he saved the country from the mess he inherited from his predecessor and prevented a great depression, gave out free phones (paid by tax payers) crushed his enemies with the IRS, made a red line in the sand, droned a bunch of people, blamed republicans and a guy on youtube, released but no detainees (ignore that they rejoined al Qaeda) made the world safer and saved the world from climate change. Best president ever
Edit- gitmo detainees
