Ouch... “don’t have a strategy yet” then why the press conference? It seems the only news out of this briefing of rehashed and trite talking points is the empty tan suit. I do like a light colored and airy suit in the summer. I have often wondered why politicians wore dark suits when the weather is hot... was it a mandatory DC dress code? Here is a list of the talking points from this useless press briefing with my thoughts in parenthesis: -- I don’t want to put the cart before the horse (meaning Obama has no idea of what to do until the polling numbers come in) -- ...we’re about to go full scale on an elaborate strategy for defeating ISIL . . . that we’ll start moving forward imminently and somehow Congress, still out of town, is going to be left in the dark, that’s not what’s going to happen. (NATO and potential coalition partners are also in the dark, waiting for a strategy from the U.S.) -- “it’s going to be important for Congress to know what that is, in part because it may cost some money.” (If all else fails we need to throw some money at the problem to see if that helps) -- “there is no point in my asking for action on part of Congress before I know exactly what it is that is going to be required for us to get the job done.” (Lets go back to dont have a strategy yet) -- “And by the way, the American people need to hear what that strategy is.” (All I hear is a high pitched tone caused by the tinnitus in my head).
