Obama is a poor commander in chief

Posted September 16, 2014 1:01 am

I cannot even watch this president lie to the American people one more day. He has known about ISIS since last January, and we are now seeing his "prime time" on how "he's going to handle it,"

Now a third person, and captive has been beheaded. Watching the parents of Jim Foley last night talk about their son being beheaded, Obama was in Maryland for a fundraiser.

Foley's parents found out on the news that their son had been beheaded, then came on national news to share their grief, only to find out this president, on break from vacation from Martha's Vineyard, was on the first tee of the golf course eight minutes later.

ISIS is a threat to the United States like we've never seen. This president is incompetent, and not the "commander in chief" as he claims to be.
