If you've been watching us over the past few weeks, you know that we have established beyond a reasonable doubt that most intelligence and military experts in the USA believe that the threat from Muslim fanatics is growing.

Also, that the Obama administration does not have an effective strategy to deal with the situation.

Yesterday on Capitol Hill, Michael Steinbach -- a big shot in the FBI’s counter-terrorism division -- was asked about ISIS:

REP. BUDDY CARTER (R-GA): “So the message I’m getting here today is, you feel like we’ve got that under control or doing the best we can?”

MICHAEL STEINBACH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF FBI COUNTER-TERRORISM DIVISION: “We don’t have it under control.  Absolutely we’re doing the best we can.  If I were to say we had this under control then I would say I knew of every single individual traveling – I don’t.  I don’t know every person there and I don’t know every person coming back.  So it’s not even close to being under control.”

And according to our information, that's true.

The ISIS terror killers control thousands of square miles in Syria and Iraq, have now expanded to Libya and Egypt, and their assassins freely travel all over the world.

It's just a matter of time until they show up here.

Now to be fair, no president can protect this country with a 100% certainty.  Impossible.

But for nearly a year, President Obama has dithered and evaded the growing threat from ISIS.

However, now after executing four Americans and setting a Jordanian pilot on fire, critical mass has been reached.

That kind of personal violence puts pressure on Mr. Obama to do something.

A new Fox Poll demonstrates that pressure:

When asked, “Does the Obama administration have a clear strategy for defeating ISIS?”, just 19% of registered voters say yes, an astounding 73% say no.

When asked, “Is the federal government reducing the threat of terrorism from Islamic extremists?”, 67% of Americans say the feds are not doing a good job.

However, when asked, “Do you approve or disapprove of president Obama's policy on terrorism?”, 42% actually approve, 53% disapprove.

That makes no sense, but here's why that answer was put forth.

There are a number of Americans who simply will not say anything negative about President Obama himself.

So when his name appears in a poll question, the results are skewed.

Most folks understand that Islamic terrorism is not being dealt with aggressively.  They know the president is hesitant to even define the threat.

Yet they retain an emotional bond with Barack Obama.

So that's what you're seeing there.

Finally, Talking Points believes that President Obama is gambling with his entire legacy.

If the USA sustains another terror attack by Muslims, his entire presidential profile will be ruined.

Does Barack Obama know that?

I'm not sure.

And that's the memo.
