Media Finally See And Understand Obama's NarcissismBY L. BRENT BOZELL III AND TIM GRAHAM 05:17 PM ET "Now, for the third time" ... Click Pic to View Enlarged ImageAfter seven years of media adoration, President Obama was stunned and prickly. At a press conference in Antalya, Turkey, American reporters kept asking him why he was declaring his anti-ISIS strategy was working, when clearly it isn't. NBC's Chuck Todd found Obama "extremely defensive and almost not yet realizing that many of the reporters in that room, they're channeling the public in this case." For seven years, we've watched the White House press corps channel Obama back to Obama. But this time, on the heels of the Paris massacre, the reporters were in a state of disbelief at his surly, arrogant, petulant performance. He shot back at CNN's Jim Acosta: "Well, Jim, I just spent the last three questions answering that very question, so I don't know what more you want me to add." Acosta had asked Obama, "Why can't we take out these bastards?" He was echoing what all of America — including most of those in the room — was asking. In Obama's rambling answers was a seemingly deliberate pointlessness. When we had our 9/11, we watched the world rally around us. France has just had its own version of 9/11. Americans want to rally around France, and are wondering why our commander in chief continues to dither. The news media know it. In return, Obama testily insists over and over again that his policy against ISIS is working, when everybody knows it's not. Obama's answers to the press were insulting. The first three lasted more than 25 minutes in total. It was less a press conference than an intermittent — and boring — speech that showed contempt to reporters who got only six questions in. He seemed to be filibustering the media. It went so badly for Obama that CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour — a woman who almost glowed on late-night TV in 2008 describing her first vote "making history" with the first black president — stood outside in Paris telling a worldwide audience Obama isn't to be believed. "He said something that was pretty incredible — according to many of the military experts here and around the world who I've spoken to — that our strategy is working. People do not believe that to be the case," she said. "He's saying that ISIS is contained. This also is — is not actually true. ISIS is not contained, because ISIS attacked a Russian plane, attacked Beirut and has now attacked here. . . They are not contained. They have just slaughtered 129 people in Paris." This day was stunning, because the media, after many years of servility, grew tired with Obama's sense of superiority. The media lost its patience, and it was refreshing. That's not to say they ran out of patience. We'll see if the press will finally get down to the business of journalism or return to the cheerleading — even if the home team is getting crushed. But for one moment, after a terrorist bloodbath, the media elite strongly and repeatedly told the president he can't just have policy meetings and say he's accomplished something. When terrorism rears its ugly head, you either confront it or you don't. You can't defeat it with eight-minute answers to reporters. It is time to get off politics and address policy, serious life-and-death policy. This president is a pathological narcissist. For one day, the media saw it and did their job. • Bozell is president of the Media Research Center. • Graham is the center's director of media analysis.

What he should do is appoint a Supreme Allied Commander, and told him, "Go destroy ISIS. Take anything you need." And then get out of the way, and tell his advisers (who ain't so hot) to butt out.
But I'm not holding my breath. And if he tried to do it tomorrow, Putin might object and say the UN should appoint a Russian General to lead the fight.

if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Wasnt that for the famous Beer Summit...necessitated by the peace-inducing, "the police acted stupidly" proclamation?

No he was awarded the Nobel Peace prize simply for being the first black president.
Ironic that Obama more than anyone else has made the world a much more dangerous place by his inability to show strength and lead.

That would be pretty ballsy since he got it from the Norwegians, but he probably doesn't know the difference either.

you're in good hands folks, "journalists" to the rescue I think Obama gets tired of answering the same stupid questions, just as I get tired of reading your crap. It's difficult to not get testy when people repeatedly say dumb stuff. Go ahead, that was your cue! When you're done being an ass, tell us how you would approach the problem of ISIS. I have a question. Why do the Republicans react to events like Paris with calls for closing mosques, stopping Syrian immigrants from entering the United States, even though our vetting process is very thorough, but in response to mass killings of American citizens, argue against reasonable gun control?

Why... react to events like Paris with calls for closing mosques, stopping Syrian immigrants from entering the United States, even though our vetting process is very thorough... How can they stop the entry of wily, devious terrorists who will use their every ability to prevent detection when they can't protect us from the far easier to detect threats of Emerald Ash Borers, Zebra Mussels, Lamprey Eels, Big Head Carp, Chinese Lady Bugs... Besides, as the chanting during the moment of silence at the Turkish soccer game reminds us, these people hate us. They celebrated 9/11. They deserve nothing from us and should expect nothing of us other than a rousing "GFY"! The only Syrian refugees deserving of asylum in the west are the Christians!
