President Petulant: If I were an adviser for ISIS

  It's nice to know Obama could pull himself away from the golf course long enough to grant an interview to one of his sycophants in the press.
  It appears that all the sniping (most of which hasn't been particularly vicious) about Obama's foreign policy, vacationing ("It's always a challenge when you're supposed to be on vacation" which means that, for Obama, it's always challenging) has really gotten to President Thin Skin I was raised by grandparents who worshiped me.
  He granted an audience to some slobberingly loyal NYT reporters (who then outsourced the writing to another NYT reporter who wasn't even at the interview????).
  The interview is, as such political events go, hackmanship on display, served with a great big huge plop of extra sharp cheddar cheese of self-pity.
  So indecisive that he can't won't make up his mind about anything, a pattern he established when he was a senator in Illinois, Obama took potshots at his critics, claiming that he's being martyred for being "deliberate" and "careful" in not rushing to war.

  “Oh, it’s a shame when you have a wan, diffident, professorial president with no foreign policy other than ‘don’t do stupid things,’ ” guests recalled him saying, sarcastically imitating his adversaries. “I do not make apologies for being careful in these areas, even if it doesn’t make for good theater.”

  The information culled for this article came from "a group of foreign policy experts and former government officials.......and a separate group of columnists and magazine writers for a discussion on Wednesday afternoon."  Apparently Obama was the "relaxed" talker, regardless other political stars like Biden being in the room, described as "ambivalent....at peace"...."calm and confident, well versed on the complexities of the ISIS challenge and in no evident rush to end the discussions" which certainly comes as no surprise for those of us who've been objective about Obama's proclivities.
  Obama revealed that he's pissed at the French and any critics who dare challenge him:

It was clear to the guests how aware Mr. Obama was of the critics who have charged him with demonstrating a lack of leadership. He brought up the criticism more than once with an edge of resentment in his voice. 

  Resentment? How big of him. What gravitas. What a big brain Obama has, who's bored with the world around him, as Valerie Jarrett once complained.
  But to me what was probably most shocking about this interview is Obama's statement about giving advice to ISIS.

If he had been “an adviser to ISIS,” Mr. Obama added, he would not have killed the hostages but released them and pinned notes on their chests saying, “Stay out of here; this is none of your business.” Such a move, he speculated, might have undercut support for military intervention.

  What leader thinks like this? 
  What great leader sees his or her enemies--in this case the most evil of evil--in terms of having "advisers" who would even think of returning hostages with pinned notes on their chests?
  And what American president could even envision himself--in thought or interview--as an "advisor to ISIS"?  It almost sounds like a statement of identification with ISIS rather than outrage against ISIS.
  This is a serious statement of foreign policy?
  These comments by Obama are followed immediately by assurances that Obama is not a "softy." Whoo, no, he's not a "softy."
  Why would anyone think he is?
  Could it be the KICK ME signed pinned on his back that's revealed his "softyness" to ISIS?
UPDATE: So I ask myself if Obama would have advised this?
  "If I were an adviser for Hitler,I woulda said, Hey don't gas all those Jews.Pin a note on 'em instead. Yeah, that'll do it."
  "If I were an adviser for Che Guevera, I woulda said, "Hey, prolly don't use those firing squads to murder your opponents. Pin a note on your opponents instead. Yeah, that'll do it."
  "If I were an adviser for Stalin, I woulda said, "Hey, why you usin' massacres to run Russia? Pinning notes on your enemies is much more effective. Yeah, that'll do it."
  "If I were an adviser for Ted Bundy, I woulda said, "Yo, Ted! You think about puttin' post it notes on those chicks instead? Yeah, that'll do it."
