When President Obama was defending his ISIS strategy late last month — which has been pretty much universally derided as a failure — the only mistake he would admit to is that he hadn't spent more time talking about how successful it's been.

So states the worst president in our nation’s history — by a large margin.
And he strikes again.
In other words, Barry doesn’t even rise to the level of a good “used car salesman”.
At lest the MSM gave it its best shot and continues to do so.
They will continue to beat the drum that “George Bush is a moron, Barack Obama and all Progressives are geniuses”.
They will continue to make Herr Goebbles proud.

When did it become important that a dictator had to “sell” his despotism?

Obama: My Only Mistake Is Poor Salesmanship
...
Thus Spake the evil narcissist.
Lunatic.
Brought to all of us by the uniparty of dc.
His mistake is not his pitch. It is his product.
Obummer’s strong suit is salesmanship, and, he claims to have failed at the only things he is good at. No wonder, everything else he has done is in deep sh!t.
No, the problem is too many of us are aware and informed of the product you’re selling.
In reality, his strategy played out pretty much as intended: to purposely be soft going after ISIS in order to give Russia the cover for stepping in and expanding their power to the Middle East. This on top of all else they're doing: Invading or threatening their neighbors in Eastern Europe, conducting a decades long series of joint war games with the ChiComs, in preparation for war with US and our NATO allies, continuing to this day (2015-16) arming and supporting hostile leftist regimes throughout Latin-America.
This is why we desperately need a guy like Ted Cruz for president. These are very serious times we're in. The last thing we need is another clown in the White House. In short, Cruz gets it, Trump does not.
Ted Cruz on ISIS, Russia, Obama, missile defense, and the New START Treaty with Russia...
"If we want to actually dismantle ISIS, we need to dramatically change course. We need a real, robust campaign that maximizes our overwhelming air advantage.
We need to focus our efforts not on trying to create friends, but on supporting our real ones, especially the Kurds in Iraq and Syria who have actually had success against ISIS."
-snip-
"We can redouble our efforts to develop the defensive weapons that neutralized the offensive Soviet threat -- particularly missile defense, which has seen a 25% budget reduction under Obama, according to an analysis from the conservative Heritage Foundation, and has been constrained by bad arms deals like New START.
We should not only move quickly to install the canceled interceptor sites Putin opposed in Poland and the Czech Republic, but also to develop the next generation of systems that will only increase his discomfiture.
These options do not entail a ground war in Syria, yet would effectively shake us free from the failed policies that have brought us to our current impasse.
These options set us on a new path that puts Putin on notice that the United States is reclaiming our traditional role as leader of the free world."

"I think it would be a mistake to get involved in the Syrian civil war. There have been voices in Washington eager for us to send our sons and daughters over to fight that civil war for some time. I haven't been one of them. I think the touchstone of U.S. military policy should be protecting the national security of this country."
"What we're seeing Putin in Russia do is a direct response to the profound weakness of Obama over six and a half years.
Putin views Obama as weak, as ineffective, and frankly, as a laughingstock. And, as a result, he is moving in, he is invading his neighbors, like Ukraine, he's kidnapping Estonians, and he's moving into Syria to gain a stronger foothold in the Middle East."
**********************************************************
Ted Cruz:
"We need a coherent plan to address both the specific crisis in Syria and the challenge posed more broadly by Putin's resurgent Russia.
The good news is that America still has options, if our leaders can summon the will to exercise them.
For starters, in Syria we can't double down on the failed strategies that have given Putin his opportunity to intervene.
We are now two years out from President Obama's proposed intervention after al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. ..."

ONLY MISTAKE? The guy is delusional.
He never learned how to lead; he never understood leadership.
The mantle of leadership must be earned. Throughout Obama's career, he left every job, seeking more power.
In that, he has always gained power through position, never through performance. He has never learned to lead.
Now, he holds the most powerful job in the world. And he has failed to lead anybody...anywhere.
Worst as pResident and worst as American.
Obama is the most successful worst President in the history of the nation.
And to think he had to beat out Jimmy Carter for that honor.
Nice going Bammy!!
