Three things:
1. What makes you think he is not listening to his experts? He always seems to have a solid grasp of the names, numbers, and events going on in the war.
2. The majority of us, twice, elected him to change America's course, especially with regards to the wars. That would require that he have ideas and goals very different from the established military staff. He laid out his vision that was clearly different from the established commanders, and we voted for it.
3. Are you sure you're getting the best and most accurate information, in the proper context? The Right Wing Propaganda Machine is incredibly well funded and has a lot of experience shaping public opinion. A significant percentage of people actually believe that BHO was born in Kenya, is a Muslim, etc. Some folks actually believe BHO is deliberately destroying America, and will soon unleash an ISIS army from Mexico to put us in FEMA camps while the UN takes over. You gotta love the power of propaganda.

" What makes you think he is not listening to his experts".. Capt Greene
You are right he is listening to them but I don't think he is taking their advise...Obama's comments about the War vs ISIS don't track with what CIA Director Brennan or Secretary Clapper said recently about ISIS. FBI Director Comey has expressed concerns about ISIS threats here which were not even discussed by Obama.
If our President is listening; it is going in one ear and out the other IMHO

The country is worried and frustrated at the failures of this Administration and the loss of life that has followed as a result. The Status Quo in Syria will only continue to present more terrorist attacks here. The FBI Director has stated emphatically that his agency cannot track terrorist here and their task is becoming more difficult

Sgt Tom Cunnally - It used to be that body bags arrived by the dozens each week, so the loss of life has improved. The "failures of this Administration" is almost entirely a propaganda ploy. I have a huge list of Obama's successes. He's done much more than I asked of him when I hired him.

Capt Michael Greene - Ok Capt we will just have to disagree about his "huge successes" because I can counter with his "huge failures"..

what make you think that Obama is not listening. His administration is taking all possible actions which it ought to be taking keeping in view the interests of all Americans.

OMG, another unverified apologist. The Boston bombing, the San Bernedino and Orlando shootings all happened under the current administration's watch. He isn't keeping American citizens safe. Gun culture? Seriously? It takes a person, sick or sane, to pull the trigger. People still have the ability to reason, blaming a gun for a sick persons' actions is intellectually dishonest.

I think he has @ 215 days left.. He basically is in a job way over his head

SGT Gregory Lawritson - Thanks for providing this morning's high and low points. I enjoyed reading "his handlers guiding the NWO" and now I'm saddened that people actually believe that stuff. Mostly, I'm impressed by the outstanding genius and dedication of the people who invented the meme and continue to feed this stuff to the Right.

SGT Gregory Lawritson - Fair enough. You asked "How else can you explain what's happening across the globe?" which is an easy enough question but also a lengthy answer, so I'll do everybody a favor and not answer here and now.
You're right; we're each going to stand solidly behind our beliefs and probably pity the other for his. Enjoy the rest of Father's Day.
