President Barack Obama is set to hit rewind on his approach to foreign policy when he addresses the nation Wednesday.

It’s not the first time Obama has retreated from some of his most frequently-played sound bites regarding the terror threat in the Middle East. But with the ISIS threat feeling ever closer to home since the terror group beheaded two Americans, there’s a new urgency to the U.S. approach abroad.

Don’t listen to what he says - watch what he’s going to do.

I suspect the timeline of his plan will unfold slowly enough that it gives ISIS the time to keep replenishing and never diminishing their ranks.

He will NOT wipe them out.

Agree. If he really wanted to wipe them out it could have been done far more easily a year ago.

He dithers. For a reason.

“He will not wipe them out.”

He doesn’t have the stomach for it anyway.
Plus, it’s not like ISIS shot an unarmed black teen.

He’s imitating how Billy Jeff Clinton carried out Kosovo, and fought terrorists. Sad part is, we all know how that worked out, right?

OBAMA:

“I am THE GOD-KING, and I don’t need the approval of no stinkin’ racist, out-dated Constitution thingy to bomb another country!”

“Oh, and if you oppose my doing unilaterally what Congress forbid me to do last year, YOU ARE A RACIST!!”
