Commentaries: The President reassures and rallies the nation for the war ahead

Fighting Terror by Self-Reproach  Wall Street Journal;
. . . "This is President Obama’s vision of society, and it is why he delivered this sterile, scolding homily that offered no serious defense against the next jihadist massacre. We have become a country that doesn’t rouse itself to seriousness except when a great many people are murdered. Fourteen deaths apparently isn’t going to move the policy needle, as far as this president is concerned. Will 1,400?"

“We are losing today. This president is not leading.”  . . . "One thing that separates Fiorina from the other Republican candidates is her background in the tech sector. She has some very specific concerns in that area." (Video)
"Leigh Munsil reported at The Blaze:
Carly Fiorina Warns of Threat She Says the U.S. Is ‘Woefully Unprepared’ to Handle: Cyberterrorism  

 Thomas Sowell on The President's Speech  "This was not a speech about how the Obama administration is going to do anything differently in the future. It was a speech about how Obama's policies were right all along. Obama is one of those people who are often wrong but never in doubt."
Political Cartoons by Gary Varvel
Krauthammer: Deep Down Obama Thinks War on Terror Was a "Gross Overreach," Overreaction  Elect a faddish, flavor-of-the-month candidate and Obama or Trump are what you get; we should have learned before Trump came along. Who was it that said to trust the wisdom of American voters?

See what this Egyptian commentator has to say about Obama

Irony in the president's Sunday speech . . . "The man's a victim of his own conceit and irony.  He buys into the standard leftist claptrap that if we occupy a foreign land, then ISIS can recruit more easily.  However, Iraq was pacified before he withdrew the troops in 2012.  And now we no longer occupy Iraq, but they have recruited and launch attacks.  How does that make sense?  The only thing that motivates them is an evil religious ideology linked to Islam, because it tells them to sniff out weakness and snuff it out.  ISIS believes that the West and America are weak, so ISIS is on the attack.  Their motive has nothing to do with occupation.  Standard leftism: somehow it's our fault; we need to realize the basis thesis of the left: America the Suckiful." . . .

I Want a President Who Understands the Value of the American Nation  . . . " And if you are not going to unite people around the idea of a nation, what are you going to unite them around?"

CNN Panel Destroys "Out of Touch" Obama Over Failed ISIS Strategy, Refusal to Use Term Islamic Extremism  "Other panelists piled on Democrats as a whole for being all over the map with their response to the attack."
