    What can I say? Community organizers will organize communities.

    Once again, this administration has outdone itself in setting an embarrassingly new low. Obama wants us to engage, mentor, communicate, support, educate, and partner up, but who do we do that with? My neighbor? Kids at school? Who? Why doesn't Obama give us a hint about who would most likely be an extremist so we can communicate and partner up with him before he sets someone on fire?

    Thought we already had the solution: jobs program.

    I'm guessing this just a way for the government to directly collect data on people who don't like Islam.

    The same data will probably then be fed to liberal organizations to be interpreted as a "rise in racism against Muslims".

    I say send John Kerry wearing only a bonnet, a pacifier and a diaper right into the heart of ISIS territory. They'll either behead him or run away screaming like little girls.

    The current plan is working perfectly. The ISIS nuts are committing so many atrocities that they make the Taliban look like flaming liberals. Eventually they will force the fence sitters to take action against them. Another year or two should be sufficient. By that time they will be sacking Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. One building already burned today.

    .............Seriously? Why'd the inept fool take the job? It was only so long ago a JR Senator out of Chicago frankly admitted he was unqualified for the position. He should've kept to his own advice. It's HIS job as well as the Pentagon's to respond to threats, and its their collective job with this 18 trillion dollar government and military to make advances in the war.

    If he's serious, then he should take some of Denizen's advice. My only add to that is to eliminate the current parasites before we start the disarming/non-funding process. Because who cares if we stop if there are those who are armed?

    Eliminate the threat, end the faulty premise of Proxy States and get the hell out of the world's worst region.

    We still have to collect our war trophies. The promised number of Syrians haven't arrived.

    The problem is Obama is redirecting where we look to find the bad guys and who those bad guys are.

    I vote we send Obama's economic team over to mentor terrorists. They'll go bankrupt in no time flat. Problem solved.

    You would expect an competent Commander in Chief to know how to fight terrorist.

    Hey, what do you expect ? We have a community organiser in the White House.

    Here is a few ideas for them,

    Do your damn job, lead, take charge, put away your golf clubs and be President/CIC for once.
    Get out from behind the podium/teleprompter and stop campaigning and lead.
    Stop gallivanting around the country at the taxpayers expense and lead.

    After reading about last 60 years history of wars. I absolutely know. US and Russia should respect each other and start to build peace together. This only the way we can resolve all extremist problems. When I look on latest conflicts as Sudan, Syria and Ukraine I see who creates the extremism. Stop just to support everyone who against Russia. Start together fix situation.

    For some it obviously a problem, but then again no matter what he does they will have an issue. The idea is a good one, who knows maybe someone has a new idea that has not been considered before hand. It is worth a shot to at least pinging the people, nothing ventured nothing gained.

    If we put troops on the ground, ignore the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing politics and unleash the beast. Let our troops do what they were trained too and listen to our generals.

    Also provide our troops with everything go they truly need to get the job done. If we go to war with ISIS we can't spare an expense to help our troops.

    YOu do realize there is more than one method to fight an enemy right> And you need the assistance of those who live here more than you need a smart bomb that has no clue where to go to do the most damage efficiently and effectively.

    Yep. Stop (*)(*)(*)(*)ing listen to CIA, to NSA and other qualified people trained to give the president just this kind of input. Instead, let's give Langley folks yours and mine Twitter feeds.

    Does it gets anymore silly then that? And I thought, PJ boy was bad...

    There certainly are. There's right way, and there's Obama's way. After all, he did not get Nobel Peace Prize for nothing.

    Did he?

    If our most trained military
    Commanders with decades of experience need advise from citizens were totally (&;@:mad::mad:(. Seriously.

    Like others said, stop handcuffing our military and the job would be done. Stop caring what ISIS thinks. Stop caring what the world thinks. Obliterate them or simply leave them alone until our (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) allies in EU get off their lazy asses and help. Really help.

    We already tried that. The outcome was the production of the Boston Marathon bombers. We gave them housing, education and monthly bills paid, our reward was people murdered including a little boy riddled with nails and hundreds of people maimed for life. I'd say its time to take down the bird feeders.

    We elected HIM to lead and come up with the plans. Can you imagine FDR asking for public suggestions on how to defeat Hitler . It sends a message this administration didn't know how, doesn't have a firm plan, didn't know what it is doing. We elected him because he said he knew how. It makes them look like a bunch of juveniles.

    And we elected Presidents to lead and to put together the best and the brightest to put together plans that will succeed and not have to turn to the man in the street to find solutions. And going on 7 years now and he STILL doesn't know what to do?

    Yes droning one group while arming another that is loosely tied with the group you are droning.. Great strategy.
