Charles Krauthammer has weighed in on why Barrack Obama is refusing to recognize Daesh (ISIS) as the critical threat to American security and interests that it is, which is clearly obvious to the rest of the world. I have much respect for Charles Krauthammer and am reading his book “Things That Matter” now. However, I believe that Charles is overly-optimistic as he insists that Obama is simply “delusional.”
“When Obama says the Islamic State is not Islamic I think he believes it. What’s interesting is he’s got a Kerry, and Earnest and others in the administration who are not true believers because I think it’s delusional what the president is thinking. And, if you hear them, what you’re hearing is spin. Because it’s hard to believe that the president has this idea that everything is OK. That this perversion of Islam is not really a threat. It’s low level. And as he said in an interview it’s hyped in the media. If it bleeds, it leads. He believes it. The others have to spin it otherwise how do you defend the president?”
