GO DAVID! – AT 9:32 A.M. ET:  The Free World really doesn't have a leader right now, Field Marshal Obama having abdicated.   But if we had an election for one, I'd vote for British Prime Minister David Cameron.  Like Churchill, he speaks truth to jerks.  From the Washington Times:

British Prime Minister David Cameron challenged President Obama with some blunt talk on Islamist extremism Tuesday during a U.N. summit to develop an international strategy for defeating the Islamic State and other terrorist groups.

Well aware that Mr. Obama shuns the term “Islamist extremists,” Mr. Cameron reacted strongly at the meeting when the president advised the assembled foreign leaders to avoid profiling Muslims because “violent extremism is not unique to any one faith.”

“Barack, you said it and you’re right — every religion has its extremists,” Mr. Cameron said. “But we have to be frank that the biggest problem we have today is the Islamist extremist violence that has given birth to ISIL, to al Shabaab, to al Nusra, al Qaeda, and so many other groups.” ISIL is an acronym for the Islamic State, also sometimes referred to as ISIS or Daesh.

ISIL, ISIS and Daesh are alternate names for the Islamic State, and the others mentioned by Mr. Cameron are Islamist terrorist groups operating in Syria, Somalia and other countries.

He rebuked Mr. Obama during a difficult week for the president’s anti-terrorism strategy in the Middle East. Mr. Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to bridge wide gaps in a private talk Monday on how to defeat the Islamic State in Syria and on the fate of Moscow-backed Syrian President Bashar Assad.

COMMENT:  We have a pathetic, somewhat anti-American president, and the rest of the world knows it.  Republicans know it.  Democrats know it, but don't care. 

Go David!
