In Wake of ISIS Attacks, Obama Delivers National Address With No New Strategies
The speech was vintage Obama, right up to the petulant impugning of his domestic opponents’ motives, the setting up of straw men and the renewed calls for stricter gun control laws.
President Barack Obama clearly meant to convey the seriousness of the situation we currently face as a nation from the terrorist group known as the Islamic State (ISIS) by delivering his third address to the nation from the Oval Office Sunday night. The address, however, did not contain any new strategy, or any new ideas, about how to defeat a group that has in quick succession downed a Russian liner and killed 130 people in the heart of Paris and 14 in San Bernardino, the largest terrorist attack in our homeland since Sept. 11, 2001.
