Obama on ISIS: I'm Not Interested in "American Leadership, or America Winning"
The Federalist ^ | November 16, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 11/16/2015 8:12:27 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

During a press conference detailing his administration’s strategy to destroy ISIS following several devastating terrorist attacks in Paris, President Barack Obama said he’s not interested in “pursuing some notion of American leadership or America winning[.]”

Obama’s remarks came several days after ISIS attacks in Paris that killed over 120 people and injured scores of others. Friday night’s attacks on France are believed to be the deadliest terrorist attacks in the country’s history....

Trump is looking better and better to me every day.

He is the REAL anti-Obama!

Obama has NO love of Country or our Constitution.

The purpose of using military force is to FORCEFULLY IMPOSE OUR NATION’S WILL UPON AN ENEMY.

The concept of “constitution” is lost on Obama. The word is a defining essence of stability, much like the keel of a ship. The word constitutional, in other uses, implies the essential daily task. In governance and law, Constitution is the supreme law of man.

Going back to the analogy of constitution as a ship’s keel. The Constitution is supplemented with laws. Such as a ship’s rudder allows the captain to safely steer around the daily changing obstcles and task. Laws, secondary to the Constitution, allow our government to steer a guided course through our daily obstcles and objectives.

Unfortunately, Obama has no personal keel or rudder, he has an ego. It is no wonder he has NO respect for our nation’s Constitution or Laws, he has neither in his personal life.
no personal rudder, he only has ego.

Now we are left with a President who cannot define a strategic objective for our military. It is impossible for hime to find a victorious outcome to our wars because he has no belief. Obama has no personal constitution or respect for our nation’s Constitution, he cannot fathom protecting our nation’s supremecy.

Obama has no will, he only has Ego.

I didn’t cry but it was a horrible dread on a deep, spiritual level. I’ve never believed he was the antichrist, although I do believe he is demon- possessed or oppressed. The veil is definitely thinning.

Perhaps the world will be fine without us. i dont think so though.

It is a war of attrition.

Russia started with dumb bombs and has progressed to smart now.

France and Russia both with more skin in the game than others.

Will not be long before it will be full out war within the borders of the EU Nations. They will be fighting for their survival.

We are looking at just the beginning of very bad war

“I would comment but I am at a loss for words.”

How about these: “What a pompous, narcissistic, traitorous bag of shit!”?

Well, that description of him is a given in my book too.

But what I was at a loss for words about was the breathtaking arrogance and disconnect of this guy's public statement from outside the country to the rest of the world in saying he "isn't interested in American leadership or America winning".

I'm still aghast that the president of the US and the leader of the free world would make such a statement.

Yes, seriously, I agree there is that.

We think alike, brother. I’ve heard quite a few people say that in private.
