Unfounded

The Latest Attack On the President and Its Disregard for Reality


By: Jeff McDonough


President Obama is not the founder of ISIS. Anyone with a brain knows this. And while its reckless for a presidential candidate to talk in this manner, that’s not my main point here today, because the explanation we’re getting is that he didn’t mean it literally. He meant that basically President Obama has been weak on ISIS and the vacuum created by the way we pulled out of Iraq after the war birthed an environment in which ISIS was able to thrive. Which is a fine explanation, much more nuanced in delivery. There’s just one problem, it’s not true.
