Obama Speech Heavily Criticized By People with No Better Ideas
After Obama’s speech, Florida Sen.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Fox News following Obama’s address and told host Bret Baier, “This is a president that called [ISIS] the JV when they first emerged”. “This is a time for serious action because the future security of our country is at stake”.
And he blasted Obama’s focus on gun control.
Trump said Sunday that he believed the United States would eventually win its fight against ISIS, but not until President Obama “admits this is a problem”.
“I think in that case you should probably get the Kurds to protect them”, said Kasich on FM NewsTalk 97.1.
“Is that all there is?”
Another member of the audience asked the OH governor, who has struggled to gain traction in the crowded field and is pinning his hopes on winning New Hampshire, if he would consider running as Mr. Trump’s vice presidential candidate.
“The terrorist threat has evolved into a new phase”, the president said.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz shared Christie’s scathing assessment of Obama’s speech. “Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine”. “Strange that it took four days from the attack to respond and even more odd that somehow the attack on our soil is proof his policies are working”.
But Kasich added that could tip off someone who might be planning a terrorist event that investigators are tracking, so he said “we have to be careful”, and that he’s opposed to using other terrorist watch lists in restricting gun purchases.
Mr. Kasich, speaking at a Council on Foreign Relations event in Manhattan, lashed out at the GOP billionaire once more, who is leading all national polls and making many establishment Republicans uneasy. “The path laid out by President Obama and supported by Hillary Clinton has not worked, and ISIS has only gained in strength”, Priebus said in a statement.
