Obama, sounding infuriated at critiques of his foreign policy, pushed back against criticism for not using the term "radical Islamic terrorism." And he accused Republicans of fostering resentment among Muslims that could generate further attacks.
"What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?" Obama asked during remarks at the Treasury Department. "Would it make ISIL less committed to try and kill Americans?" he continued, using a different acronym for ISIS.
"Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is none of the above," he said. "Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away."
THAT is who you want leading this country.
Not some bloated oddly coiffed buffoon, who thinks that impulsive tweets labeling everything "terrorism" before the facts have been gathered, is the same as carefully considered policy decisions based on an examination of the evidence.
Fortunately we happen to have a well qualified replacement for our Commander-in-Chief waiting in the wings.
And I am confident that she will know how to respond to the dangers facing this country as well.
