President Obama held one of his rare press conferences today, and even took a few questions. He announced to the world that he has no strategy to deal with ISIS. Maybe later.
He announced that we aren’t taking military action to solve the Ukrainian problem. I’m sure Mr. Putin is relieved.
He’s sending Secretary Kerry to Iraq, because they have to develop a more inclusive government. Our military action in Iraq has to be part of a broader comprehensive strategy, but we don’t have that either.
He has, however, directed Secretary Hagel and the Joint Chiefs to prepare a range of options.
Jen Psaki, State Department Spokesperson, showed that our State Department is right up on things. She held up a little handwritten sign with a hashtag. I forget what it said, probably something about being concerned.
Our country is in the very best of hands.
The President’s statement is available here.

Obama is far too afraid to be perceived as doing anything that Bush would do (in his mind) that he’s just about hobbled himself in terms of his options. He’s painted himself into a corner with his rhetoric and his poorly thought policies, and now there’s going to be a mess, no matter what choices he makes (or doesn’t).
