CNN on Barack Obama’s ISIS statement: “what message was he sending?”

August 28, 2014

It is not often that a politician tells the truth, or at least the whole truth, and there is an old adage that goes something like this: a gaffe is when a politician tells the truth. Today we had one such gaffe when Barack Obama admitted he had no policy in regards to ISIS.

Here is what he had to say:

President Obama acknowledged Thursday he doesn’t have a plan for defeating Islamist militants in Syria and backed away from imminent military action, while he also downplayed reports of a new Russian invasion in Ukraine.

“We don’t have a strategy yet,” Mr. Obama said of his plans for defeating the Islamic State in Syria. “We need to make sure that we’ve got clear plans. As our strategy develops, we will consult with Congress.”

  CNN was quick to respond to this by saying it was “surprising” and asked what message was he sending to ISIS because they are listening. Here is how it went down:

    I am starting to think this was an intentional passive aggressive statement. He knows he is losing his fan base. To say this was to intentionally rile us up. He is one sick you know what. I have looked at the foreign papers and they are as stunned as we are here.

    I would be suprised only if I first believed he was not working against this nation’s best interest. Impeach the bastard consequences be damned! Romney can’t defeat Hillary anyway.

      UGH! It now looks like Romney is reconsidering his decision not to run again after the recent poll in Iowa. When will the Republicans learn?!

        Exactly. Although there has been a lot of talk of the President’s new mauve suit, the fact is that the Emperor has no cloths.

        Finally more people are starting to realize that, but sadly it is too late.

    And, this is the same CNN, along with the rest of the MSM, that made fun of Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair. President Zero is the correct moniker. No wonder the Emirates didn’t bother to ask his his permission to make air strikes agains to Islamists in Libya.

    Along with CNN we should take solace in the fact that Ohmbama Ω is completely honest and transparent when professing that he has no plan of attack. I’m waiting for that honesty to shine through when he tells us he has a hidden agenda and he’s doing his part to buy time for ISIS to further establish their authority and position their military operations to best respond to and fight off any US led attacks.

      Somehow I do not think he will go that far but his actions speak volumes to those who decide to pay attention.
