Total amateur hour from the white house.
Shitty source, but it's what I found
Just last week

quote:
"Our objective is clear. That is to degrade and destroy (ISIS) so it's no longer a threat," he said. "We can accomplish that. It's going to take some time, it's going to take some effort."
Just last week
quote:
"Before getting into the strategy, though, there seems [to be] a fundamental, existential question: Is the United States presently at war with ISIS — yes or no?" MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked President Barack Obama's top spokesman, White House press secretary Josh Earnest, on Thursday.
Earnest went with "no."
"No, Chris. What we are doing is we are working very aggressively with international partners, with Iraqi and Kurdish security forces, to take the steps necessary to mitigate the threat that's posed by ISIL," he responded.
The interview was part of a series of television appearances for Earnest on Thursday and Friday after Obama stumbled and said "we don't have a strategy yet" for dealing with the Islamic State in Syria. Earnest insisted Obama actually has a "comprehensive strategy" even as critics slam the administration for not articulating a more forceful foreign-policy vision for the region.
On MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program Friday, Earnest was again pressed with the "war" question.
"Does the president agree with [columnist] Eugene Robinson that we are, in fact, at war with ISIS even though it's not a declared war?" host Joe Scarborough inquired.
Earnest again maintained the U.S. was simply trying to "mitigate the threat."

Yeah, it makes sense. We're not at war with them, we just want to annihilate their faces from existence.

TOTAL amateur hour from this Clown Show.
The best retort that the Obamabots now have? Blaming Bush and declaring "Bush did it too" !
Keep voting Democrat, America!
We are almost there !

Past week: 20 airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq
Week before: 30 airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq
Week before that: 49 airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq
And you're bitching about messaging?
Tell us what you would do.
