This is the best explanation of the difference between a politician and a leader. Ted Cruz proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a true leader last week. Obama showed, for the umpteenth time, that he is merely a politician. Not a leader. Neither during his speech in Cairo nor in subsequent remarks has Obama ever called out the worlds Muslims for their bigotry against Jews, Christians and others. Neither during his speech in Cairo nor in subsequent addresses has Obama spoken out against Islamic terrorism or the jihadist world view that stands at the foundation of Islamic terrorism. Rather, throughout his presidency Obama has denied the existence of the jihad, its ideology and the fact that it is a force shaping events throughout the world. Wednesdays speech was no exception. At the outset of his remarks, Obama insisted that Islamic State, or (ISIL has he calls it), is not Islamic.
