Nine months ago, President Obama told the nation he had a successful strategy to "to take out ISIL wherever they exist."

At a press briefing on Monday, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest if, given the fall of Ramadi and reports that the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq is moving into Libya, "Would you say that, overall, this strategy has been a success?"

Earnest's answer: "Overall, yes."

For the MSM, holding Obama (or any DemocRAT) to account is never an option.

Same for the Republicans in Congress.

That’s because The Won doesn’t view the current situation as a failure; he views it as a success.

Can you say Yemen?

The 0bama administration has claimed, much to the dismay of conservatives, to be the most transparent administration ever !!

I say they have been transparent.

His intentions for transforming/destroying our country is right there, for everyone to see.

The only person I can think of who is even more thin skinned and adverse to admitting failure than Obama is Hillary.

Obviously, a sign of poor leadership and personal character.

Harry Turtledove had a great line about this in one of his Byzantine-esque fantasy novels. An emperor realizes he’s behaved badly towards an ally and apologizes. The ally expresses surprise that they are being apologized to and comments that this had to be hard for the emperor. This was the emperor’s reply:

“One thing I’m sure of is that putting a crown on my head doesn’t make me right all the time. The lord with the great and good mind knows I didn’t learn much from [his predecessor] on how to rule, but I learned that. And if I was wrong, what’s the point in being ashamed to say so?”

Something most politicians, especially the current idiot, don’t seem to realize or understand.

"For Obama, Admitting Failure Is Never An Option "

The trog-gressive libs use to claim that was a GWB character defect, but it's something that's worshiped in comrade dictator obama.

War is Peace.

Freedom is Slavery.

Ignorance is Strength.

The Obama Administration has been a Success.
