“Bartleby the President”

Deal with the terrorist Caliphate? America leading? America winning? He would prefer not to.

John Gabriel refers to Barack Obama and the Office of the Petulancy.

But what we do not do, what I do not do is to take actions either because it is going to work politically or it is going to somehow, in the abstract, make America look tough, or make me look tough. …

“[W]hat I’m not interested in doing is posing or pursuing some notion of American leadership or America winning, or whatever other slogans they come up with that has no relationship to what is actually going to work to protect the American people, and to protect people in the region who are getting killed, and to protect our allies and people like France. I’m too busy for that.
