If you want to get some idea about why President Obama has not formulated a strategy for defeating ISIS, take a look at . . . Thursday.
Yes, Thursday.
On Wednesday night, reporters were given Obama’s Thursday schedule. It did not mention a meeting between Obama and his national security advisors.
Just before 10:00 am, we received word that he would convene a meeting with the National Security Council at 4:00 pm sharp. It sounded portentous. Such meetings aren’t normally scheduled so hastily or announced to reporters.
Then, at about 1:45 pm, 45 minutes after the daily briefing was supposed to have started, reporters were alerted that White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest would instead brief at 4:00 pm.
Now, that sounded a little weird, since it would occur at the same time as what seemed like an important national security meeting, about which reporters would be dying for information. Why not brief at 5:30? But, whatever.
Then, at 3:30 pm, we were informed Obama would make a statement at 4:00, followed by Act 2, which would be Earnest at 4:10 pm.
But wait a second, wasn’t Obama supposed to be in a meeting at 4:00 pm? And why would he be making a statement before entering this critical meeting. Maybe he would be saying, I’m about to have a meeting, and gosh, I’m super excited!
At 4:09 pm – just nine minutes late, very prompt for Obama - the president popped up in the briefing room to make a statement about an economic report nobody was paying attention to and to say some other things that weren’t news. Then he started taking questions.
OBAMA WAS GOING TO DO THE BRIEFING HIMSELF! Hurray!
Once he was offstage, we received official word that the Josh Earnest had indeed been pulled.
I think you get the point by now. The White House, where the president rolls into work mid-morning, where everything starts late, and where schedules are sort just suggestions, is a disorganized mess.
And that’s why there’s no ISIS policy, even though the administration claims to have been aware of the threat for a year.
This makes me sick!
Making the DeBlasio Administration look competent.
What would make anyone think that he intends to do a job that is in the interest of the American people?
He has no clue as to how to proceed, because he has to make it "look" like he has our best interests at heart, when he does not.
Care and concern are hard to pretend when your ISIS pals are running wild and you are secretly rooting for them.
Obama has told us himself that he will side with the Muslims. What's so hard figure out? We have an enemy agent as president.
On page 261 of the paperback edition of “Audacity of Hope” Obama wrote: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Because the strategy is to let the muslims kill Christians and take over Iraq. The “strategy” is working perfectly.
Keith Koffler knows a slacker when he sees one.
With the internet, that is getting ignored by each and every passing day thankfully, to speak one’s mind.
maybe there is one, but VJ has just not explained it to Obama yet
And I will stand with the Christians.
Also, there were WEEKLY scandals in the Clinton WH, yet the MSM has revised history to make us think everything was peachy in the 90's.
What a joke.
Recall that Joe Biden was widely known and referred to as "The Dumbest Man In The Senate"...until he was nominated for Vice-President.
The press has not employed that sobriquet since...
His strategy is to not have a strategy.
he’s so cool, he doesn’t need a strategy.
Because he and his clown passe are with them
If it takes another attack on the homeland to wake the country up, then so be it.
