CBS and NBC are skipping this.

Looks like ABC got the short straw.

So we should sit by and let ISIS wipe out 40,000 Christians? This is the same ISIS that has said that it will plant its flag on the WH and will come to America to kill us.

Osama bin Laden declared war against the US in his famous 1996 fatwa. No one seemed to take him seriously.

My problem with Obama is that he waited too long to take action against ISIS, which is a threat to our citizens abroad and here. Obama's failure to negotiate a SOFA with Iraq helped create the existing situation. Doing nothing just compounds the mistake.

Obama: I have been very clear ... now I am going to ramble and mutter through an incoherent response to your questions.

I seldom listen to him but his is absolutely painful. Uh,uh, uh . it’s as if there’s someone talking into his ear and he’s spitting back the words.

The reason the MSM criticized Bush and his vacations at his ranch was because they were stuck in the middle of nowhere. Obama goes on his vacations in elite, high priced, garden spots. The MSM covering him gets to have paid vacations at the same places.

Dear American People

The recent and rapidly developing events in IRAQ with ISIL were unexpected and could not have been prevented.

The previous administration's reckless actions in Iraq have destabilized the region and I have spent much time trying deal with the situation, but it is difficult

I was very concerned and very upset when I learned about the take over of Iraq by ISIL on MSNBC.

How could I have foreseen a group like ISIL that obviously punches above it's weight

I am are working ceaselessly , day and night on this, and I will not rest until the problem is resolved.

I have sent a fact finding committee consisting of Sec Of State John Kerry, Def Sec Chuck Hagle and 57 FBI agents to region to evaluate the situation and provide recommendations on how I can proceed.

This may take a while as I have been informed the current security situation in Mosul is to dangerous to allow the FBI to do their jobs, but the team is currently standing by in St Tropez conferring with United Nations sources until the security situation improves enough to allow entry.

This concludes my Press conference on the situation in Iraq.

Once again, I want to reiterate - Make no mistake, I am working on this intolerable situation day and night and I will not rest those responsible are brought to justice.

I want to make sure I am perfectly clear on that in the most forceful terms possible.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to take questions from the press today.

I apologize for this but Air Force 1 is waiting on the runway at Andrews Air Force Base to take me to Martha's Vineyard. The engines are running so I have to hurry - don't want to impact climate chage any more than is absolutely necessary/

It seems this President is more worried about his vacations than the security of the nation. He leaves me with the impression that he sees his job as just another day to hang in there on the gravy train. “Survive one more day till 2016 and I will at least be the first black American President, and my followers will see to it that I am carved into Mt. Rushmore for my great achievements.” Lets see what his speech writers come up with this time.

If he resigns today does this clown still get to go on taxpayer-paid vacay?

The man is an idiot. Problem is, he thinks he’s the smartest man in the room. He only cares about making himself look good.

Lesser of two evils? The last two elections it wouldn’t of mattered, socialists win either way. It’s time to wake up Americans. I fear it’s already too late.
