“What I’m going to be asking the American people to understand is, number one, this is a serious threat,”...

Oh, we understand the threat. The question is, do you?
This is all one really needs to know. But I'll add more:
Obama supported Islamists over a tamed and submissive Muammar Gaddafi.
Obama sent $900 million dollars to the region governed by Hamas--right after he seized power in January of 2009.
Obama ignored the pleas of the Western allies among the population of Iran when they were trying to get something closer to a true democratic republic--as people were slaughtered in the streets, he went to eat ice cream.
Obama turned tail and ran away from Iraq, because he was so incompetent as to not be able to negotiate a status of troops agreement with the government thereof.
Obama drew a red line regarding Syria, then denied he drew a red line, then bent over as Russia decided to take charge of the matter.
Obama pretended to care about the situation in Afghanistan by a "surge", but issued rules of engagement that were dangerous to our troops. He added salt to that wound by announcing a "date certain" for troop withdrawals. We lost more men in just a couple years under Obama than in the 6 years that Bush was in charge.
Obama has regularly been hostile to our best ally in that region, Israel.
WE could go on, but the picture is clear: Obama really isn't serious about destroying ISIS, just as he wasn't serious about Boko Haram in Nigeria or about stemming the tide of illegal aliens in America.
Singularly the worst occupant of the Oval Office. EVAH.
