being outraged at whatever that strategy would be....Obama is being very cruel to the pundits, seems not to even know they exist.
Stand with your President, Democrats, or else the Republicans will use YOU to attack him...,do you want any part of that?

we were going to war and he would announce it this week. I know it's true because I saw it posted right here on this site. There were lots of rec's and commentary....so he must have told them so.

The pieces together but he was already working on his plan. I remember he also went about his normal business on the day they went after bin Laden, never blinked. I am very happy he is trying to bring in other countries, this will also let ISIS know there will be very few places to hide and the world is coming to get them. Yes I will stand with Cool Hand Luke.

most Americans don't know what they are doing against Isil.

We've got a President who is not gunz-a-blazin without a "strategy", ummmmm, like the cheney administration with Iraqi and Afghanistan. He's got one for immigration as well, but people want it NOW now now, do it now now now.

the phrase "Obama's failed foreign policy" is remembered as one of the dumbest talking points in history.

I'm so grateful that he's not a hothead ready to bomb all of the countries that John McCain has made aggressive statements about. We dodged a bullet when we didn't vote for him.
Obama's "cool" in so many ways.

I don't think they'll ever be another one like him.

Maybe the 'powers that be' thought we needed this brilliant, caring, President right now. History will show us. Somehow you feel safer, knowing he's in charge. And maybe NOT knowing everything else that's going on that he's handling. Who could replace him?
