On ISIS, Barack Obama Is Baghdad Bob
The Federalist ^ | December 4, 2015 | Sean Davis

Posted on 12/05/2015 11:24:22 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

"ISIS is contained” is the new “American tanks are not in Baghdad” of 2015.

In the throes of a tight re-election campaign in October of 2012, President Barack Obama declared that al Qaeda was “on the run.” In one sense, he was right: al Qaeda was running into the arms of ISIS, which was running wild in the Middle East. But his intended implication–that his policies had routed the terrorists, rendered them incapable of hurting Americans, and as a result made America safer from the threat of terrorist attack–was demonstrably false.

I know I'm dying to hear more about global warming now and what a powerful rebuke that Paris summit was to terrorists types.

He’s just going through the motions to get the platitudes (lies) and “unifier” blather down for the posterity he wants the future to speak of him. He really doesn’t care. The winners get to write the history books.

we are not going to have a "future"....at least its going to be very much different than anything we would want....I hope I'm wrong....

you know what bugs me though, exasperates me, is that so many just think the pig stench in the white hut is just not smart, or weak, or a poor leader, etc....

we all have to KNOW by now that he has purposefully done everything he can to destroy our country, there is no stupidity about it, or laziness, or anything....he knows exactly what he is doing....

I agree. There is a smugness, arrogance and hatred that is clearly evident in him. Media refuses to see it. It’s almost like they’ve been Vamp-Glammed.
