Breitbart - Big Government ^ | 5-19-2015 | staff

During the White House press briefing today, ABC News reporter Jon Karl questioned Press Secretary Josh Earnest about President Obama’s current strategy against ISIS, asking if he believed that the president’s strategy was succeeding.

“Overall, yes,” Earnest said after hesitating for a moment, admitting that although Ramadi had fallen into the hands of Islamic State terrorists, there had been other successful operations in Iraq.

Obama deeply involved in the fight, ‘just about every day’?

At some point Congress needs to have these people removed for mental incapacitation. The Constitution has a provision for just that contingency.

Oh wait. They are an elected lesser evil. Nevermind.

Of course they are talking about obama’s strategy to equip and assist them in their growth.

Indeed. and the Lesser evils are 100% responsible. They not only allowed but SUPPORTED Obama in creating this man caused disaster. Had Barry had actual opposition from the so called opposition party, none of this COULD have happened. He’d have been impeached by year 2. And several times thereafter since the senate would never have convicted.

Nor will this one under GOP control because they actually CAMPAIGNED ON WORKING WITH OBAMA if given control of both houses.
