Obama: ISIS Doesn’t Pose A ‘Specific Or Credible’ Threat To The US


Despite the best efforts of the media to circle the wagons around Obama, more and more people are waking up to not only the president’s inability but his sheer unwillingness to tackle the Islamic State and it’s hateful radical Muslim brethren head on. Even some liberals, like Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, are sensing Obama’s weakness and trying to distance themselves from it.

“Republican presidential candidates have blasted Obama’s response to ISIS, and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton has distanced herself from Obama’s characterization that the terror network has been ‘contained.’

The president on Monday visited the Pentagon, where he convened a high-profile meeting of military brass to review his administration’s anti-ISIS strategy and further explain it to Americans.

He’s also meeting with victims’ families in San Bernardino on Friday en route to his Christmas vacation in Hawaii.

The president and top administration officials have said repeatedly there is no specific and credible threat to the United States.

Still, fears persist about government’s ability to foil lone-wolf-style attacks, especially during the busy holiday season.

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll found that less than a quarter of Americans have a ‘good amount’ of confidence in the administration’s capability to stop lone-wolf strikes. Almost 6 in 10 of those surveyed disapprove of Obama’s handling of the threat posed by ISIS.

The president conceded that lone-wolf attacks are ‘harder to prevent’ than large-scale attacks like 9/11. But he said counterterrorism officials are adapting the way they identify potential plots.

The holidays are a sensitive time of year for Obama. In 2009, he was forced to interrupt his Hawaii vacation when a man connected to al Qaeda attempted to detonate a bomb concealed in his underwear aboard a commercial airliner in Detroit.”
