Obama created ISIS mess

Three years ago, President Obama drew a red line in Syria. Bashar al-Assad marched across the line, and Obama did absolutely nothing. Since August 2014, there have been 16 terrorist attacks attributed to ISIS murderers against the West. The latest, in Paris, he called a “setback.”

Some 673 individuals murdered in 16 months, and how many more maimed by the “second string?” Quite possibly the latest attack in San Bernardino, an attack on the homeland, will prove to be terror-related as well, and what then will Obama do? If history repeats itself, absolutely nothing except call for more gun control.

The man is weak, indecisive and deserves none of the trust that the American people placed in him in 2008, and again in 2012. I believe he has lost much of that trust and the respect; I know he has lost any that I might have had. He might have been a great community organizer with a silver tongue, but as a president and “leader” of the free world he is a disaster. The president can only be impeached for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” Take your pick and give Vice President Joe Biden a chance to clean up the mess.
