More Danger for Americans
June 8, 2015

Over the weekend President Obama attended the G7 summit in Germany.

Topics of conversation ranged from economics to terrorism.

By the way, it used to be the G8 but Russia got booted out because of Putin the invader.

Anyway, earlier today Mr. Obama said something that is not only frightening, but incredibly disturbing.

He was asked about ISIS and why the USA does not have a strategy to stop the brutal jihadists.

OBAMA: “When a finalized plan is presented to me by the Pentagon, then I will share it with the American people.  It’s not – we don’t yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitments on the part of Iraqis, as well ((EDIT)) The details of that are not yet worked out.”

So after nearly two years, the USA still does not have a plan to confront ISIS.

Here's what the president said last August:

August 28, 2014, White House press conference

OBAMA: “We don’t have a strategy yet.  I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where we’re at than we currently are.”

Now there are only two possible scenarios here.

One, that the U.S. military is grossly incompetent and cannot come up with a plan to defeat a terror group comprised of about 30,000 individuals.

Or two, that the president of the United States lacks the will to defeat an enemy that threatens every American.

Talking Points is throwing in with option number two.

Mr. Obama simply does not see the urgency and does not have the fire to take on terrorists who are slaughtering thousands of innocent people.

That's the truth, and sadly millions of Americans are willing to accept that fact and still support the president.

If every American demanded that the USA become proactive once again in defeating the jihad, then it would have to happen.

But many of us are apathetic.  As long as the mass murder is overseas, we don't much care.

Of course it will not be long until the murder comes here because that is the stated goal of ISIS.

On another front, the Chinese government has been accused of hacking into the websites of the U.S. federal government.

Apparently more than four million Americans have had their personal data stolen by the Chinese.

Today, Mr. Obama was asked about that:

OBAMA: “We haven't publicly unveiled who we think may have engaged in these cyber attacks, but I can tell you that we have known for a long time that there are significant vulnerabilities and that these vulnerabilities are gonna accelerate as time goes by.”

So what are you going to do about that Mr. President?

I guess in a couple of years he might come up with a strategy.

I think everybody is getting the picture here.  We have a leader who does not want to lead.

Barack Obama is interested in the theoretical dilemma of climate change, he is interested in social justice in redistributing American wealth.

Not much interested in blatant attacks on America's security and mass murder around the world.

It appears to me that Mr. Obama is not going to change.

So this country is now in a race to see if we can avoid catastrophe in the next 18 months.

This is a very dangerous game.

And that's the memo.
