Please, don’t make Bobby sad by criticizing Dear Leader.

Forget the Internal Revenue Service targeting conservative groups, the National Security Agency spying on the American people and the looming train wreck that is Obamacare. According to actor Robert De Niro, President Barack Obama is “trying his best” and simply playing “the political game.”
De Niro appeared in DuJour magazine for the publication’s September issue, discussing his 70th birthday and new movie, The Family. But the Goodfellas star also touched on President Barack Obama’s presidency, and De Niro — an ardent supported of 44 — cut Obama some slack amidst a second term plagued by scandals and an impending war in Syria.
“He’s trying his best. He’s going to do things that people feel are not right or violating one right or another. But at the end of the day, he represents, I think, the best of the type of people that I would like to see running the government,” De Niro told DuJour. ”He has to play that game, the political game. They all do. They make statements they can’t honor because they’re impossible to honor. Once you get into that Washington machinery, you’ve just got to figure it out and swim against the current and grab onto this rock and that, and just try to maintain your course.”
