Obama's New Goverment Seal!

President Obama found himself under fire Sunday for his cautious approach to beating back the Islamic State's march through Iraq and Syria and stamping out other diplomatic fires around the globe, with a top House Republican suggesting his foreign policy was in free fall and that Western allies no longer view the U.S. as a leader in the fight against bad actors.
Rep. Mike Rogers, Michigan Republican and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said the administration is sitting on its hands while radical Islamist fighters grow in influence, recruit from abroad and seize more territory in Iraq and Syria.
"Europe has obviously stood up and said, 'We have a huge problem.' [British Prime Minister] David Cameron came out and said, 'Not only do we have a problem, here's my plan to deal with it,'" Mr. Rogers told "Fox News Sunday."
"And so the United States seems to be in this malaise of not being that concerned," said Mr. Rogers, taking an implicit shot at Mr. Obama as another Jimmy Carter.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, was more forgiving but suggested Mr. Obama has been too cautious in addressing the threat posed by well-funded Islamic State fighters intent on expanding their reach.
"They have announced that they don't intend to stop," she told NBC's "Meet the Press." "They have announced that they will come after us if they can, that they will, quote, spill our blood. This is a vicious, vicious movement, and it has to be confronted."

His partners, Hasan, released IS Generals and the Caliph, disagree.
The EXEMPT in Congress could not care less.
The EXEMPT would not care if Obama
was an undocumented Indonesian
MURDERING America and its Constitution.
There...fixed it.
Obama is not “cautious,” Obama is TERRIFIED !
Obama is terrified of losing!
Obama knows that if he fights ISIS with “US Boots on the ground,” that he will lose for the first time in his life.
Heck -- he is doing all the right things to help the terrorists.
Absolutely right.
Obama's New Goverment Seal!
” . . ..his cautious stupid approach . . ..”
Depends on one’s point of view, and objective.
Obama marches to a different drummer than do you and I.
A normal person with a cursory knowledge of Islamists takes maybe ten seconds to process the information about ISIS and decide, “Well, we gotta kill them.”
The charge:
“Obama accused of diminishing U.S. standing in fight against terrorism”
Obama’s response:
“Why, Thank You!”
Pretty accurate in my view.
Even DiFi realizes Obama is clueless!
******
Nobel Peace Prize: Is it too late for the people to ask Obama to give it back, or for Obama to give it back voluntarily? Oh, well. I guess it is too late. Sad.
Fixed.
Very true...and I think his incompetence is costing American lives and, sadly, Hillary's "What difference does it make" comment seems to reflect this administration's callous regard for our people in uniform.
” ...I think his incompetence is costing American lives . . ..”
Any concerns I may harbor regarding his competence is vastly overshadowed by concern regarding his motives.
It may be that his purposes are being competently advanced, and America is under dire threat as a consequence.
