Nope. Well, the glowing ears AND the halo. But that’s about it.

So I gather that Obama said pretty much nothing.

The say-nothing statement from President Do-Nothing was even shorter than expected too.

Baier: "We were told [statement] was going to be 10 minutes. I don't think it was even five."

And no questions.

Obama takes no questions after #ISIS address from the South Lawn.

Why was that? Perhaps he had more important things to do.

Late for his tee time? RT @mboyle1 Baier: "We were told [statement] was going to be 10 minutes. I don't think it was even five."
