Obama confesses: ‘We don’t have a strategy yet’ for dealing with Islamic State

President Obama said Thursday he doesn’t have a strategy yet for defeating Islamist militants in Syria.

So, I arrive home from work today to watch President Zero say nothing of any merit in a "dramatic" press conference.

This man is going to get us all killed. Not hyperbole, not paranoia. REALITY!
