President Obama delivered a statement today on Martha’s Vineyard about the beheading of journalist James Foley:
"One thing we can all agree on is that" #ISIS has no place in the 21st century — @BarackObama addresses #JamesFoley
— The Hill (@thehill) August 20, 2014
Obama: No faith teaches people to massacre innocents. #Iraq

Obama on ISIL's beheading of James Foley: No just god would stand what they did yesterday.

Obama also says U.S. will continue to do what is necessary in Middle East, calls on regional effort to extract "cancer" of ISIS.

Twitter users noticed that those words were in stark contrast to the time Obama equated ISIS with a “JV” team:

Man, Obama is one feckless POS. No fire at all. Can't get worked up over the JV team, eh?
