Obama called ISIS a JV squad.
The JV squad began terrorizing the world while Obama golfed.
Obama’s response to the JV squad was late and flaccid.
Still, he golfed.
When he finally got around to fighting ISIS he announced that it was difficult to defeat them, that it was like trying to fight cancer, and it would take a long time.
He golfed.
Trump said if he got into office he would change Obama’s ridiculous rules of engagement and totally destroy ISIS.
Within 9 months he delivered a major crushing blow to these terrorists.
Trump also golfs. But he does it while defeating ISIS. Big difference.
Nine months after President Trump promised to defeat ISIS “quickly and effectively,” U.S.-backed forces captured Raqqa, which until Tuesday had served as the ISIS capital. The battle now is over who deserves credit: Trump or President Obama.
Trump, not surprisingly, claims it for himself: “It had to do with the people I put in and it had to do with rules of engagement,” Trump said in a radio interview.
Before dismissing this as typical Trump self-aggrandizement, consider that for several years Obama insisted that a quick and decisive victory against ISIS was all but impossible.
After belittling ISIS as a “JV” team and then being surprised by its advances, Obama finally got around to announcing a strategy to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the militant Islamic group.
As his strategy dragged on and seemed to go nowhere, Obama kept telling the country that this was just the nature of the beast.
“It will take time to eradicate a cancer like (ISIS). It will take time to root them out.”
“This is a long-term and extremely complex challenge.”
“This will not be quick.”
“There will be setbacks and there will be successes.”
“We must be patient and flexible in our efforts; this is a multiyear fight and there will be challenges along the way.”
And he kept insisting that winning the war against ISIS has as much to do with public relations as it did weapons. “This broader challenge of countering extremism is not simply a military effort. Ideologies are not defeated with guns, they are defeated by better ideas.”
What Obama didn’t say is that reason defeating ISIS was taking so long was of how he was fighting it.
A former senior military commander in the region told the Washington Examiner that the Obama White House was micromanaging the war “to the degree that it was just as bad, if not worse, than during the Johnson administration.” Johnson, you will recall, once bragged that “they can’t bomb an outhouse in Vietnam without my permission.”
Contrast this with Trump. Rather than talk endlessly about how long and hard the fight would be, Trump said during his campaign that, if elected, he would convene his “top generals and give them a simple instruction. They will have 30 days to submit to the Oval Office a plan for soundly and quickly defeating ISIS.”
You ha e his ISIS comments, the Iran Deal, not aiding the Iranian uprising in his first term, the Arab “Spring”, releasing Gitmo Terrorists, Bergdahl, “Save Our Girls”………what else?
The guy was a total and complete failure in foreign policy. It definitely wasn’t America first……

Winning!
2009 – 2016, worst blind date ever.
Fucked nonstop and never a kiss.
It was rape-rape.
Give Obama credit, his many failures across the board, incompetence, childish arrogance and divisiveness gave the US one of its greatest successes.
The election and administration of President Trump.
@Cato.
Hitting rock bottom as a country is a tough way to learn a lesson.
And some still haven’t learned. For instance, Ralph Northam, democrat candidate for governor of Virginia, is having Obama in to campaign for him in Richmond tomorrow night. I wouldn’t want the guy anywhere near me if I was running. But my wife was caught in a traffic jam on the way home from work last night from idiots getting tickets. Sheesh.
You really have to hand it to Obama, though, for accomplishing what many thought was impossible.
He made Jimmy Carter look good.
😉
I don’t believe anyone could be that incompetent – it was direct and deliberate enemy action.
Phone & pen?
@PHenry
Obama is a train wreck.
Proves the hardened socialist and ardent Conservative will both stop to look at a train wreck.
The Conservative will leave shaking his head in horror and dismay. The socialist will stay to watch the results of the carnage.
Northam must be desperate to invite carnage to his house.
@CC – I agree. Obama’s presidency was all about helping the moslem invaders as much as possible and do as much damage as he could to the US. He hate the US and everything it stands for.
To be honest, I don’t think Obama had anything to do with his destructive Presidency. I don’t think he’s smart enough to have done all the damage he did, himself. I think he took orders.
@Kat – I’m sure he took orders. Valerie Jarrett is his Iranian handler. But you know he enjoyed it. He is one of the enemy.
I never thought in my lifetime that I would see the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. But I did.
I hope and pray that in my lifetime it is definitively proven that Obama was born in Kenya, was raised as a Moslem, remains a Moslem and is a homosexual.
His accomplices in the mainstream media did everything they could to cover for him and as a result, Obama was deliberately not vetted & uncovered as being totally ineligible for the Presidency. Everything he did to fuck over our nation can be laid at the feet of the Mainstream Media. Their hands are covered in blood, drenched.
King Putz is more like it.
The same person who used Samantha Powers’ name on those unmasking requests was who made Obama look bad. No guessing. The name begins with B _ _ _ _ k _ bama.
PHenry. Sounds like you live in the center of the universe. I’m in “Kentucky”
Obama is an affirmative-action-failed-social-experiment-president.
When you go into the presidency hating the military and not knowing jack 💩 it’s gonna be a clusterfark. The proof is in the Reggie pudding.
