Since making that statement that ISIS is a small time player, two journalists have been beheaded and a new round of airstrikes have commenced against them. Check out this video where Whitehouse Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken tries to remove the foot planted firmly in Obama’s mouth:

Obama’s original diminution of ISIS came during a New Yorker interview in January with David Remnick. Remnick called Obama’s controversial comments an “uncharacteristically flip analogy.”
On Sunday, Obama attempted to backpedal his prior statement in the wake of ISIS’s videotaped beheadings of two American journalists. Todd asked whether Obama’s flippant dismissal of ISIS as a JV team was based on “bad intelligence or your misjudgment.”
Obama said, “I wasn’t specifically referring to ISIL [ISIS],” a claim the Washington PostFact Checker gave four Pinocchios for being misleading.”The interviewer was certainly asking about ISIS when Obama answered with his “JV” remarks,” concluded theWashington Post.
Obama’s approval rating has continued to plunge in the wake of his admission that he did not “have a strategy” for combating ISIS in the wake of the terrorist organization’s beheading of two Americans. According to Gallup, just 38% of Americans now support Obama.
The face of an idiot in a used car salesman’s suit.
