WHAT COOL HEAD HAS YAHOO GONE NUTS? How about empty headed!!!! Quote;President Barack Obama’s cool head in a crisis—asset or growing liability? With world crises bursting around him and political opponents apoplectic, Obama has yet to lash out in response, and refuses to act on anyone’s timetable but his own. His methodical crisis management, long Situation Room seminars and skepticism that US force can remake a tumultuous world, has sustained him through nearly six tough White House years. With Islamic State radicals dug into a caliphate in Iraq and Syria, and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s shadow ever lengthening over Ukraine, Obama is shrugging off a whirl of hostile news cycles and political attacks on his leadership. There are some who probably would make the case that it’s OK to not have a formulated, comprehensive strategy. White House spokesman Josh Earnest Brian Katulis, of the Center for American Progress, which is close to the administration, said Obama may be more in tune with his war-weary nation, than his critics. “I think a lot of the criticism comes from the chattering classes — amongst the foreign policy elite and in the media.”
