Decisiveness Overrated? White House Thinks Yes

President Barack Obama’s Syria strategy may not have been particularly decisive, but that’s not a bad thing, according to the White House.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney defended his boss Thursday after a blistering few weeks of criticism in Congress and elsewhere over his handling of the Syria crisis.

Carney said the American people “appreciate a president who doesn’t celebrate decisiveness for decisiveness’ sake.” He also said Americans like that Obama is open to “new information” and adjusts his course accordingly.

Carney said that in the end, the president will deserve credit if the diplomatic initiative with Russia to get Syria to give up its chemical weapons arsenal succeeds.

Spin spin spin.....

Next 'crisis' comes along, then we will see Obama overreact with ill-advised rash 'decisive action', just to combat this indecisiveness label on him.

Heck, it doesn't even have to be an 'international crisis', a Trayvon Martin 'event' will make him 'show up his leadership-ness'.

Carney said the American people “appreciate a president who doesn’t celebrate decisiveness for decisiveness’ sake.”

Yep, Americans prefer dithering and vacillation every time!

[TruthInThoughtWordAndDeed]

But the White House isn’t sure about that. That would be too decisive. /s

This just might be too much of a strech, but............

.....howsabout we try maing the RIGHT decison, for a change?

[cripplecreek]

Maybe....or not.

Don’t worry too much, Jay. You and the President will both get all the credit that you deserve one day. Thee Bible promises it.

I think the government/media collusion has now been publicly established.

This has taken over 5 years of in-your-face bias, and several generations of more subtle media spin.

The media has long, long ago chosen sides.

The thing is, Obama is taking full advantage of every person “on his side”.

Now we have a government and a media which no longer acts American.

Our media is anti-American, and even our government is anti-American.

The only thing keeping all this from falling apart for Democrats, is the GOP is busy meanwhile, sending US businesses out of America.

America first. Bring back American businesses, to America.

Now.

Decisiveness defined:

[Graewoulf]

Obama’s interest in an un-provoked US Military invasion of non-enemy Syria has nothing to do with Syria, poison gas, or “the children.”

Obama’s interest in bombing non-enemy Syria has everything to do with creating a long-lasting, controversial, DISTRACTION for Congress in order to keep Congress from defunding Obama”care”/Boehnerkare.

Obama’s “Red Herring” for the 9-11 Benghazi Massacre Coverup was Susan Rice’s phony TV Video story.

Obama’s “Red Herring” for distracting Congress until Obama”care”/ Boehnerkare kicks in October 1 was Obama’s “Crossing HIS personal Red Line” distraction speech LAST YEAR.

Con-artist Obama speaks only for Obama, not the US Military, US Federal Government Foreign Policy or America.

Obama has isolated himself, and has primed himself for Impeachment.

IMPEACH OBAMA !

REMEMBER BENGHAZI !

Carney said the American people “appreciate a president who doesn’t celebrate decisiveness for decisiveness’ sake.”

Don't you wish his campaign had thought of that in 2008?

[Sir Napsalot]

I wish!

But not with our current non-existing ‘opposition’ team.
