Judge Jeanine To Obama: If Your Goal Isn’t To Destroy ISIS, ‘You Need To Leave The White House’

WEAK, WIMPY, and PATHETIC is how Judge Jeanine Pirro describes President Obama’s reaction to the beheading of freelance Journalist James Foley by ISIL radical Islamists.

Lead Story by Judge Jeanine Pirro, Fox News [Insider] —
On last night’s “Justice,” Judge Jeanine Pirro slammed President Barack Obama’s response to the beheading of American journalist James Foley as “weak, wimpy and pathetic.”

She also called on Obama to leave the White House if he does not have the determination, desire and stamina to destroy ISIS.

Partial Transcript
This is the last straw. President Obama’s response in both words and action to the beheading of American James Foley was so weak, wimpy and pathetic that it's embarrassing.

In times like these, great leaders understand both the enormity and the urgency of the situation, they take the reins, and they lead. Not our president; he channels Teddy Roosevelt, but instead of ‘speak softly and carry a big stick,’ it's ‘speak softly and carry a big bertha.’ But oh, he talks a big game:

“We will be vigilant and we will be relentless. When people harm Americans anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done.”

Relentless? For at least eight minutes until you get back to the golf course on your three-week vacation.

Mr. President, where is your humanity? This innocent man and his family deserve better.

British Prime Minister Cameron – at the sound of the killer's British accent – immediately left his vacation and flew home to get back to work.

Americans are justifiably outraged and wonder if you are disengaged, tired, overworked, bored, or just clueless?

But then again, at this point, what difference does it make? What difference do you make? What difference can you make?

There are no words to describe the horror, the savagery, the beheading of James Foley, to describe the agony of his mom and dad who for two years while ISIS held him hostage fought to bring him home.

"We’re the greatest country on Earth, we're Americans. They'll bring him home!”

Yes, hope does spring eternal.

But there are no words to describe the disappointment when nations far less powerful bring their hostages home while the greatest, most powerful nation on Earth does not.

There are no words to describe the anxiety, the panic, the loss of hope, the desperation, the moment ISIS emails how and when their son will die. No words to describe the finality, the animal – hooded in black – in the process of decapitating an American forced to his knees, his hands bound, his head pulled back.

And you, Mr. President, fist bump your friends within minutes on the golf course?

You are so weak that when criticized you hadn't done enough, you spill your guts and blame the intelligence community again!

"We tried to get him - but it didn't work!"

Excuse me? Isn't that classified information? Haven't you indicted people for less under the espionage act? You not only burnt our sources, you put the other American hostages in even more danger.

What's that? You don't pay ransoms? You don't negotiate with terrorists? Well what the hell was the Bergdahl trade? Aside from replenishing the enemy in a time of war, you violated not one but two laws.

If you don't negotiate with terrorists, what was John Kerry doing with Hamas? And why were you negotiating with Iran on its nuclear proliferation?

Not only are the American people justifiably outraged, but even your own Pentagon disagrees with you. They understand the enormity of what's at stake.

Hagel seems damn scared...
