WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Moments after its conclusion on Sunday night, President Obamas speech about combating ISIS came under heavy criticism from people with zero better ideas.
The Presidents proposals, ranging from coalition air strikes against ISIS to beefing up intelligence about potential terrorists, were blasted for being nothing new, with the harshest criticism coming from people with nothing new.
I was incredibly frustrated hearing the President say he would destroy ISIS, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told CNN. ISIS needs to be obliterated.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz shared Christies scathing assessment of Obamas speech. The President seems to think that ISIS will go away just by us bombing them, Cruz said. If I am President, I will bomb them so hard that will feel like they have been triple-bombed.
Calling it too little, too late, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul ripped the Presidents proposal for keeping potential terrorists from obtaining visas. We need to stop them before they even obtain the pens necessary to fill out visa forms, he said.
Of all of the Republican Presidential candidates, the front-runner Donald Trump was perhaps the most withering in his criticism of the Presidents speech. I only heard the President use the word tough once, Trump said. I gave a speech last night and used it fifteen times.
Pressed for specifics about how he would combat ISIS, Trump acknowledged that he had no new ideas, but added, My no new ideas will be much tougher than his no new ideas, you better believe it.
