On “Fox News Sunday,” Mitt Romney delivered the painful truth when it comes to Obamas handling of foreign policy, particularly the rise of ISIS. Romney said, “I think the president is really out of touch with reality. He’s so out of touch with reality that he hasn’t taken the necessary steps. ... He’s too busy on the golf course. I don’t know if you can see the reality from the fairway, but he doesn’t see reality. Romney is absolutely right. Barack Obama has known about the rise of ISIS for over a year. He received detailed daily briefings on this issue. Yet we admittedly dont have a strategy yet to deal with this? Apparently Obama finally got the hint that not having a strategy wasnt exactly the best message to telegraph to the American people, our allies or our enemies. Obama will lay out his plan in a speech this week to deal with ISIS. Hes already told the enemy what he wont do, so can we really expect much to change from this administration? So far we know that Obama has assembled a coalition of nine countries that are willing to coordinate in efforts to address ISIS. The New York Times reports, “Mr. Obama said the effort would rely on American airstrikes against its leaders and positions, strengthen the moderate Syrian rebel groups to reclaim ground lost to ISIS, and enlist friendly governments in the region to join the fight.” The president insists that there will be no U.S. boots on the ground. Obama also cant even yet decide on whether the U.S. will engage in airstrikes in Syria, which Senator Marco Rubio says we “absolutely” must do. But will those three efforts outlined above be enough to defeat ISIS, if thats even our goal?

In an interview with Meet the Press, Obama told NBCs Chuck Todd that he “shouldve anticipated the optics.” Perhaps the president should consider the optics of his entire presidency? This isnt the first time where the president has been seemingly tone deaf to his actions, whether its playing golf or heading to fundraisers at questionable times. Obama also claims that he is not very good at political theatre. More accurately, he says it doesnt always come naturally to him. Its amazing to hear him say this, considering this was all his campaigns and presidency was about for so long. He was virtually all show and nothing to actually show for it. Now we seem to have neither. Obama also lamented the fact that he cant have a vacation without the press around. Well Im sorry, Mr. President, but this is kind of the gig you signed up for. Hes the one who chose to go on his vacation while we have chaos happening around the world. Thats part of being president. You cant pick and choose when you want to lead or be absent; sometimes the world demands American leadership, and it doesnt adhere to the presidents vacation schedule.
