"The difference in golf and government is that in golf you can't improve your lie."
George Deukmejian
Earlier today United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron held a press conference delivering, with conviction, remarks and answering media questions about the urgent and growing terrorism, ISIS, threat.
Mr. Cameron announced that threat of attack in the UK was elevated from substantial to severe. And he said in so many words that the Brits would not spectate but engage, endure, and prevail. His answers to media questions were direct.
Mr. Cameron appeared knowledgeable, in charge, confident, determined - as our president should have yesterday.
In contrast, President Obama said he did not have a strategy for dealing with ISIS (that contrary to his remarks months ago - and months before that). He appeared disengaged and downright confused. And exhausted from vacationing.
With little more than 28 months remaining in office President Obama has made it clear he will address and club as many problems (balls) as possible. Every one a lie; some bad.
So later today, not to be outdone by our mates across the Atlantic, the White House will release the president's recently crafted 'Strategy 18.'
A copy was leaked.
