This was “news” to these dopes? Of course Mr. Obama doesn’t have a strategy. He never has. Heck, the whole reason he won his party’s nomination in 2008 over Hillary Rodham Clinton was that he promised Democratic voters that he would eradicate any American strategy for combating terrorism abroad before it reached our shores.

No, that was not the news out of that press conference. The real stunner was when Mr. Obama said, “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse.”

This declaration is interesting because it is a big, fat, huge, 100 percent lie. Not only is it a lie, but it also sums up the entire Obama presidency.

It is, alas, the Obama Doctrine: In all hemispheres and equatorial regions, America shall, henceforth, place the cart before the horse.
