President Obama golfing during the crisis with ISIS, had many wondering does he have a strategy?
On September 10, 2014 Rep. Virgina Foxx of North Carolina blasted President Obama for vacationing and enjoying golf during the crisis with ISIS. The day before his big speech declaring war on ISIS terrorists.Congresswoman Foxx is the powerful Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Rules. Not someone to be taken lightly in Congress.
Here is what she said:
“Mr. Speaker, the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS, has been doing what terrorists have done for millennia: decimating villages, persecuting religious minorities, and massacring the innocent, including the brutal public beheadings of two American journalists.
For the past month, as lawmakers and leaders around the country have called for President Obama to outline a plan to respond to this enemy, the President has been vacationing, golfing, and fundraising for partisan allies.
The President initially admitted that he doesn’t have a strategy for dealing with ISIS, a brutal group he once compared to a jayvee team. He then indicated his goal was reducing ISIS to a manageable problem.
This won’t do.
Tonight, the President addresses the Nation. I hope he uses the opportunity to make a change. I hope he uses his speech to provide a clear strategy. I hope he provides long overdue leadership on this issue. The American people and the world are waiting.”
