Obama on ISIS: I'm Not Interested in "American Leadership, or America Winning"
The Federalist ^ | November 16, 2015 | Staff

During a press conference detailing his administration’s strategy to destroy ISIS following several devastating terrorist attacks in Paris, President Barack Obama said he’s not interested in “pursuing some notion of American leadership or America winning[.]”

Obama’s remarks came several days after ISIS attacks in Paris that killed over 120 people and injured scores of others. Friday night’s attacks on France are believed to be the deadliest terrorist attacks in the country’s history....

To all of you low info voters: some of us knew ALL OF THIS in 2007. For real. You idiots just wanted to feel good about yourselves by voting in a man whose sperm donor had African blood. STUPID.

That presser was stunning. The Emperor has no clothes. He stumbled around like an utter loser. What an embarrassment for the US.

Isis will eventually clear America before the gutless wonders lift a finger to save themselvs for the most part. No need to say or do anything. They chose suicide of their political will. And if they don’t die by ISIS, they will get on the cattle cars at liberal gunpoint.

I’ll just point and say “Told ya!”

He is a foreign enemy combatant and he was placed into our White House through his Islamist-communist owners’ lawless threats to the media in 2008 and 2009, aided by criminal acts by strategic people in the bureaucracy. They put him into our White House for this very moment, to get rid of America and establish a worldwide caliphate.

Everything he’s ever done supports that interpretation of the facts/evidence.

So it is true. He wants Americans to die. And the French, Germans, English, Iraqi, Afghanistan, Syrians, Egyptians, Libyans, and on and on. The great destructor has arrived.

The SOB has never been a leader or displayed leadership over the past 7 years. No use trying to do it now. He’s no leader, he’s a thief.

Regarding refugees he said..

“Folks say we should admit the Christians but not the Muslims,...that’s shameful!..that’s not American, that’s not who we are.”

Regarding Paris/Syria he’s delusional saying...

....”the terrible events in Paris were obviously a terrible and sickening SETBACK.”..... however, we can’t lose sight that there has been progress being made.”

The guy refuses to face reality that ISIS has carved out a training ground in Iraq and Syria far larger than that enjoyed by al Qaeda in Afghanistan before the Sept. 11, 2001...ISiS is also the richest terrorist group ‘in history’ with tens of millions if not more in the bank and up to up to 6,000 ‘European’ recruits coming into the fight.

Then he further admits.....”What ‘I do not do is to take actions’.... either because it is going to work politically or it is going to somehow, in the abstract, make America look tough.”

His words were NOT what Americans wanted to hear nor especially France wanted to hear.....

This is the man the GOP tanked an election over running a liberal.

Not once, but TWICE!

Why should they be? Muslims liked them just fine.

Yup. But don’t say that out loud or you will be labeled an Obama lover.

Sad that on a conservative site we have so many liberals determined to rewrite history.

Obama is too busy navel-gazing, pondering big issues.

I like to read foreign news - it’s interesting, but they also present far less spin than American news who have become overly dependent on a “left vs right” talking points format for every issue.

The world has little respect for Obama. In fact, it’s less there than it is here because they don’t pay people to defend him - he’s viewed as a lightweight.

There have been times in my life when I knew I was hearing God or something....the night Obama was elected (first time)....at the moment he was called the winner....I burst into tears and was crying uncontrollably....it was rather odd...I was disappointed, but at the time I could not figure out WHY my reaction was so strong....NOW I know.

Yes, of course that’s true...and he no longer surprises me as I wrote earlier today....he’s an easy read ...if something is good for America he’ll oppose it, if it’s bad for America he’ll support it... most of the time he can’t discern one from the other.
