The White House on Monday defended President Obama's Sunday night speech by saying the brief address wasn't aimed at unveiling new strategies to fight the Islamic State, and instead was meant to explain what he's been doing to fight the terrorist group.
"[T]he purpose of the speech last night was to speak directly to the American people, not to lay out new policy," White House Communications Director Jen Psaki told MSNBC on Monday. "He wanted to deliver the speech last night to speak directly about what we're doing and what we can do moving forward."
White House spokesman Josh Earnest added that Obama knows he won't placate his harshest critics, but wanted to tell Americans what he's doing to protect them.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
‘but wanted to tell Americans what he’s doing to protect them.’
Not much. We already knew that.
He never told anything about protecting this country ,minus in his mind that he wants to ban guns and we have to be more tolerant.
The man is a complete idiot and certifiable insane, and so is anyone still defending this idiot.;
Jen Psaki: given an empty flour sack and told to make dinner.
No doubt she smirked and played with her hair as usual. I loathe her.
Invasion of Europe news….
We mentioned recently that it appears from some photos that the invaders of Europe are mostly fighting age young men.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees does not tell us their ages, but does tell us that 75% are men. (Germans hide your daughters!)
Only 51% are Syrians, the rest are from all over the Middle East and Africa.
So, did the men abandon their women and children back home (in an unsafe country)?
He has not done chit to protect us, quite the opposite.
“...but wanted to tell Americans what he’s doing to protect them.”
he’s told us he’s going to protect us from ISIS by attacking climate change. now rest easy all ye non-believers in our CIC.
You know what I’d love to see?
I’d love to see this scrawny-legged punk named Barack dropped off in the middle of the wilderness with nothing but a lighter and a pocket knife.
Forever.
Then he’d know what it’s like to have to survive on his own with a money-backers and teams paving the way for him and covering his ass.
I am so sick of this do-nothing, take-everything Islamo-loving traitor.
GTFOOMC, Hussein
I have GOT to share!
I asked EVERY Lib at work today, their ‘take’ on _Resident 0bama’s speech last night.
I got a lot of ‘deer in the headlights’ stares and a a lot of, ‘What Speech?”
LOL!
These are the VERY SAME PEOPLE who did a Happy Dance when he was elected, most LIKELY voted for him the second time around, and have not praised him in any way, shape or form in the past 7 years!
Of course, the Bush Bashing for the 8 years before that was every hour ON the hour!
Oh, man. If anecdotal evidence means ANYTHING - and I LIVE in the Belly of the Beast - 0bama has destroyed the ‘Rat party beyond repair. And NONE of them talk about Hillary. At all. Ever.
2016 should be a bloodbath on ALL fronts. :)
THis is what happens when you have no clear policy, you send out a bunch of vague Schlock then wait to see the response, then go about having a do over when people didnt like what you said.
America told that it was an “urgent” address, “from the Oval Office” (as if that somehow signified...significance, to calm the anxious public.
Oh, it wasn’t urgent, significant or claiming at all — and was never meant to be any of things?
They can get a hamburger on Tuesday.
Nobody is reassured. Even Hillary rushed to the White House to talk to Obama.
He had a very an original idea, “we will arm and train the local people to fight for thier country” This idiot is a gift
Even the blah blah blah these days are nothing but lies.
