Concerned about ISIS? Don’t worry — President Obama is on it. Except not really. Like, at all:
Obama: “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, we don’t have a strategy yet.”

"We don't have a strategy yet" – Obama on ISIS/Syria/Iraq

Actual Obama: "We don't have a strategy, yet."

Well that’s reassuring.
as quotes go, "We don't have a strategy yet" …

Incredible that POTUS would declare at a press conference "we have no strategy for ISIL yet" – w/intel comm sounding the alarms on threat.

POTUS: "We don't have a strategy yet" on #ISIS. Stunning to hear from the podium in the WH briefing room. #Iraq

CNN's Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr, alarmed: On Obama's "we have no strategy" line: "Let me be very clear, ISIS heard all of this."

Helluva leader we’ve got, huh?
A sound bite he can use for any topic. RT @FreeBeacon Obama: “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, we don’t have a strategy yet.”

Give the President a break for not having formulated possible strategies for this brand new situation erupting totally out of nowhere.
— Stephen Green (@VodkaPundit) August 28, 2014
If I have this right, we'll be taking unspecified action following an unformulated strategy leading a nonexistent coalition.
— Stephen Green (@VodkaPundit) August 28, 2014
Yep, that sounds accurate.
Warning to ISIS: get any more out of hand, and Obama might just try coming up with a strategy to defeat you.

They’re shaking in their boots.
