Barack Obama voted "present" 129 times in the Illinois State Senate. He did it to preserve his political capital and dodge having to be visible in unpopular events. He'd wait for someone to take the bullets and then when the dust settled Obama would rise from the dust and assume the popular side. That is what is happening right now. Problem is, Obama is the President. There's no one else to wait for here.
democrats are a disaster right now. They aren't just not on the same page, they're not in the same book. Mostly, they have their rudderless leader to thank.
It is a gross understatement to say Barack Obama is sending mixed signals. He's been all over the map about ISIS. Right off the bat Obama admitted that he had no strategy to deal with ISIS. Following the Foley beheading Obama called ISIS a "cancer" in what was nothing less than a sophomoric response: He said ISIS "has no place in the 21st century" and that "People like [ISIS] ultimately fail. Because the future is won by those who build and not destroy," Obama said. He also that ISIS has "already failed." That'd be great as there would be nothing for anyone to do, right?
In his lethargic appearance, Obama promised that we "will not be intimidated." Obama's plans for ISIS devolved from "destroy" to "degrade" and finally to "manage."
Cancer is something to be eradicated. It is "managed" only when it has become terminal and is incurable.
Charles Krauthammer wryly notes that Obama cannot muster the ability to call ISIS "Islamic" despite the name they have given themselves. Even liberals are demanding action against ISIS. Incredibly, Elizabeth Warren says ISIS needs to be destroyed. Al Franken chides Obama for his lack of a strategy.

ISIL is OBAMA
Magical thinking?
One thinks that history teaches that future is secured by projecting strength; however the future could be easily lost through weakness and disbelief that we might have enemies.

Many are having difficulty with the fact that Clown Prince nobama is a traitor and moozlum sympathizer. They are having difficulty accepting that the majority of voters don’t give a rat’s a** about anything except getting more freebies and “benefits”. They are having difficulty with the fact that congress and this administration are keeping our borders unsecured, creating what might be a terrorist extravaganza in which many of us and our families are murdered.
One of the key stories I have seen lately about Obama is the one out of Egypt. Egypt claims that Obama has been pressuring them to include other Islamic parties such as the Muslim Brotherhood into their political system.
Of course they have refused to do that and Obama is punishing them with no support. His supporting the radicals explains everything about his Mid-East policy. That is why he does not want to fully take down ISIS. He supports them.
He’s stuck between a rock and a hard place.
He’s ON the side of ISIS, ISIL, or whoever...
Yet, he’s ALSO been ELECTED President of the United States - a nation that ISIS wants to wipe out. He’s got to appease millions of us and yet, at the same time, allow his ISIS pals to succeed.
Little does this idiot realize that they’ll cut the heads of Sasha and Malia off RIGHT in front of him -before giving him the same treatment. He’s STILL an American (to them).
America’s President is the King of the Idiots... and ISIS knows it!
