The most frustrating part is- Obama's plan is working. Mr No Drama put in place a plan that isn't sexy, doesn't involve made for TV bombing stuff (though to be sure, plenty were dropped), no gloating material for a CiC and doesn't require us to all freak the fuck out about ISIS. He methodically drove them out of Iraq using mostly the Iraqi Army to do so (Syria is a bit more problematic). But he will get zero credit for it. It wasn't much more than a year ago all the wingnuts were convinced that ISIS was about to overrun all of Europe and wade across the waters to invade the US. Now those idjits don't even think about ISIS, other than as part of their scary Muslin xenophobia. But they will never credit Obama with effectively driving ISIS into the ground without having to resort to massive US ground troops or nukes or all the other batshit ideas the neocons all had. But once we reach a point where ISIS can be declared "vanquished" the boy king won't hesitate to take credit for it and all his dumber than dirt base will believe him, despite the fact that Donnie's only contribution was to demand a new plan and delay changing policy in the meantime while the military continued on with the plan Obama had long ago put in place.
I suspect he doesn't know what either plan is.

Oh, for fuck's sake. More so.
