Obama Never Has a Plan
Breitbart ^ | 8/29/14 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 08/29/2014 11:14:24 AM PDT by Hoodat

On Thursday, President Obama held a press conference in which he humiliated himself entirely on the question of America’s handling of the terror group ISIS. Explaining that he had to consult Congress and check the pulse of Americans, Obama stated, “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse. We don’t have a strategy yet.

Which begs the question: what the hell does this guy do for a living?

ISIS has been on the move since April 2013, when Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi announced that ISIS was moving into Iraq as well as Syria. On June 29, 2014, ISIS announced that it would now call itself the Islamic State, since it had established a new caliphate.

Since then, ISIS has run roughshod through northern Iraq, taking over major cities and sites, raping women, beheading enemies, and generally making a hash of a country America left to chaos in 2011. It has now been two months since ISIS declared its caliphate. It’s been a year and a half since ISIS announced its move into Iraq. And Obama still has no strategy.

That’s a disappointment, given that the State Department announced a whopping two days ago, “The reason we’ve been engaged as we have been in boosting moderate opposition…is because we’ve been watching this closely.”

And on June 18, CBS News reported, “intelligence agencies have been tracking the ISIS for years, officials say, watching closely as it grew stronger in the Syrian civil war and began to challenge the Shiite-dominated Baghdad government.”

That intelligence has clearly not translated into anything actionable.

This is not the first time that the Obama administration has announced it had a grand scheme, only to later announce . . .

Obama has a plan it just goes OVER Ben Shapiro’s HEAD...

Benny REFUSES to admit Obama is deconstructing the United States ON PURPOSE..
You cannot BE SO SUCCESSFUL by accident..

Amazing the success and geometric logic of the Obama administration..
Ben IGNORES the Cloward-Piven Tactic... ON PURPOSE..

Ben must be a filthy little OPTIMIST!.. refusing reality..

Obama, Holder, Brennan and other pro muslim scumbags in DC do have a plan. The plan has been the same since Obozo became our terrible leader. Their plan is shown below:

ISIS is not our enemy! Our enemies are Republicans, Tea Party Members, Fox, and white Christian males, who believe in God and own guns!

To the contrary, he always has a plan.

It involves the use of words like "Bush", "Republicans", "Conservatives", "Tea Party" and some form of referencing himself over and over and over and over and over...

Toss in a few "Aaaaas", and that's about it.

Rinse and repeat...

What it doesn't involve, is any personal responsibility whatsoever.

He hasn't heard of the saying, "The buck stops here!", and if he had it wouldn't matter.  He'd see that buck less than a golf score-card.

When Obama speaks he has one audience - those who have their ears itching to tell them how he is going to destroy America.

When we hear him he seems to be talking but we can't make it out his words exactly.

Kinda like that Vietnam POW who blinked with his eyes in Morse Code.

Obama says "Hope" and his people think one thing and we think another.

Obama is blinking that their idea of a grand utopia will be fulfilled in their lifetime, plus their houses will be paid off and gasoline will magically be found in their tanks.

Exactly! Obama knows exactly what he's doing and he's doing it perfectly.

It certainly looks like Obama is not an incompetent blithering idiot, imbecile, nim-nod. He apparently is a Manchurian Candidate. I did not want to believe this for a long tie but looking at world events and his “lack” of policy looks as sinister as it can get.

We have an anti-American POTUS who told us he was going to fundamentally change the US! He said it straight up. Makes me wonder why people are still wringing their hands on what BO is doing or not doing. BO’s plan IS working. He is malicious and calculating to bring us down!

I agree but he is so so skillful at his rhetoric! Sometimes he almost convinces me! Like when he said yesterday that we can’t just try and eradicate them w/out some sort of plan for them to police themselves and find some sort of peace among themselves. ?
