It is hard to fathom what Obama is doing or thinking. No explanation comes close to being satisfactory.
With fellow Democrats faulting him, and with threats to America multiplying, it is impossible to excuse his conduct on the grounds of ignorance. If he only knows what the public sees, that would be more than enough to develop a strategy.
Indeed, it’s possible his military advisers are going public with terrifying claims about the terrorist group because they, too, are alarmed by his passivity. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, normally low-key, said of the Islamic State: “This is beyond anything that we’ve seen. So we must prepare for everything.”
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, called it “an organization that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision that will eventually have to be defeated.”
His use of the word “defeated” was in contrast to Obama, who talked only of “containing” the Islamic State when he approved limited airstrikes.
There was, of course, another response from the president last week. After the storm started over the golf outing, White House officials confirmed there had been a secret raid to free Foley and others in July, but it failed.
The release of such classified information ignited a second round of fury, with not a few critics accusing the president of playing politics.
Nonsense. He doesn’t care about politics. The raid was revealed to protect the only thing he does care about: himself.

What was Valerie thinking, to allow him to do that!
If you go back to the brief two-year Senator period....he was golfing several times a week and generally took off by early afternoon every Friday.
America twice electing this outed golfer was a huge mistake
“Present”
Huge mistake because his “concern” caused him to use more than 18 strokes for the entire course? A hole in one from every tee box.
The jug-eared POS doesn’t think... and he doesn’t care, abut anything other than himself. In short, he is a vile, perverted little man, incapable of empathy or appreciation for anything or anyone other than himself.
I wonder if his shoes are comfortable?
He obviously does not care about fallen soldiers. He only cares about his own self. Bill Clinton had the same motivation but could “fake it” with charm.
maybe he was a naughty boy and gave valerie the middle finger
maybe she is passed out beside the pool in Marthas Vineyard with Mooch
anyone seen her since “vacation time” began?
There was nothing about it that was a mistake
A newly elected republican would be wise to place observers in every office in DC the day after the election to insure custody of documents.
one stooge with three ultimately hilarious comedians
Obama’s decision to play golf at that time on that particular day was...a stroke of idiocy.
It is an insult to the Stooges to place this degenerate loser next to them. An apology is needed.
Golf is merely another way for Obama to give America the middle finger salute.
He doesn't care what the public sees.
VJ is probably in the WH running the executive branch. Obama goes to the golf course for a photo op. Then what is he doing with all those hours? No bath house in Martha’s Vineyard?
LOL - Sooooo, the way to wake up the press is to allow their ox to be gored? How charming. Welcome to the real world Michael Goodwin ...
