A Matter of Respect

The ISIS killers have released an animated video on the net depicting a jihadist beheading President Obama.

These thugs obviously taunting Mr. Obama, trying to humiliate him in the eyes of the world.

We have a policy of not showing ISIS propaganda on the air, but the latest atrocity is on the Fox News website should you choose to see it.

In Moscow, Putin has ordered Russian missiles be shipped to Iran, violating the spirit of the arms embargo.

Another gross act of disrespect by the tyrant Putin.

And as we discussed last night, the Iranian mullahs are openly contradicting the American president on the terms of the nuke negotiations, disrespecting him.

In addition, you may remember President Obama asked Congress for authorization to conduct military operations against ISIS.

Congress will not pass that authorization.

Why?  Because some Republicans say the president's language could restrict U.S. commanders, while some liberals say the language could lead to open-ended fighting on the ground. 

So the commander-in-chief will not get his military goal.

Now you would think Barack Obama would be angry and would begin punishing those who are humiliating him.

It doesn't have to be anything dramatic; he can just use his power to make their lives uncomfortable.

But Talking Points believes President Obama does not give a fig about being disrespected by enemies overseas.

He simply doesn't care.

On the ISIS authorization, the president did very little to convince Congress it was necessary.

So again, it looks to me like that was all show; he doesn't really care much about the authorization.

As always, I could be wrong.  I can't read the president's mind.

But one thing is certain.  Not since Jimmy Carter has an American president been so diminished throughout the world.

There is little fear of President Obama.  The bad guys are running wild and of course this situation lessens the perception of American power.

That's always dangerous in an evil world.

Today the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted unanimously -- 19 to zero -- to compel Mr. Obama to bring the Iranian nuke treaty to the full Congress for approval.

The committee's bill now goes to the full Senate, where it's expected to pass easily.

It will also pass the House.

The only drama remaining is whether President Obama will veto that bill and if that veto will be overridden.

The entire situation is foolish.  President Obama should want Congress to approve the treaty.  In that way, all Americans have a voice in the matter through their representatives.

Few of us want war so if the deal is beneficial, Congress would approve it.

But if it's not and it empowers the fanatical mullahs, then Congress will set it aside.

A veto would be a no-win for President Obama, and today he signaled a compromise might happen.

Let's hope so. 

And that's the memo.
