House Intel chief: Obama should cut vacation short to deal with ISIS
The Hill ^ | 8/20/14 | Mario Trujillo

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) suggested President Obama should cut his vacation short in light of the apparent murder of a U.S. journalist by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

Rogers on Wednesday said Obama should follow the lead of British Prime Minister David Cameron who reportedly returned from vacation to lead a meeting on the threat posed by the group.

"The optics of being on vacation and not coming away from that vacation, I just think are bad," Rogers said on Fox News. "That is why I think [Cameron] is going back. He is going to show he is the prime minister and he is taking this matter seriously, and he is on the job making the decisions that you need to make to keep Britain safe."

Obama has LONG-supported ISIS and al Qaeda.

And the treasonous EXEMPT ... love him for it.

I’m amazed to see David Hunt on FOX this morning supporting negotiating with these animals.

Americans should be smart enough to avoid going places like that unless they’re going with an army.

“The optics...”

I hate that phrase.

The INTEL people are wrong to ask Obama to cut short his vacation.

How can you cut short an ongoing vacation that has been uninterrupted since January 20th 2009?

It's not fair to Oabam who is attempting to break the Guinness Book of World Records for Executive Branch Golf Time. This is his most serious effort since being elected so let's give him credit where credit is due...

How dare that anyone suggest that Clown Prince nobama interrupt any of his multiple vacations. Isn’t it racist to do so? Oh, by the way...does this bum spend any time with his purported “family” (or for that matter, with his dog)? It is all Kabuki.

Obama knows he can’t ‘deal’ with ISIS, so he’s doing the only thing he knows how to do-nothing.
