Did Obama really say, "If I had been an ISIS advisor"?

It wouldn't surprise me at all.

NY Times

But the president said he had already been headed toward a military response before the men’s deaths. He added that ISIS had made a major strategic error by killing them because the anger it generated resulted in the American public’s quickly backing military action.

If he had been “an adviser to ISIS,” Mr. Obama added, he would not have killed the hostages but released them and pinned notes on their chests saying, “Stay out of here; this is none of your business.” Such a move, he speculated, might have undercut support for military intervention.

It was clear to the guests how aware Mr. Obama was of the critics who have charged him with demonstrating a lack of leadership. He brought up the criticism more than once with an edge of resentment in his voice.

good god this is the most insecure administration i have ever seen. We are in year fricking 6 of his presidency and he and his administration can't quit bringing up other presidents and what they did. why don't you just fricking be a leader instead of complaining about how badly you are being treated by the people you serve?

why would he be advising a terrorist group in the first place? or speculate on such?

this guy is akin to Bill Ayers and Ward Churchill

If I were a nazi I'd tell Hitler to do this

Wtf is wrong that man truly hates america
