I have tried to watch MSNBC on rare occasion and always come away with astonishment that anyone would watch this nonsense.  They are so far off the mark it is laughable.  It is almost like watching a Will Farrell parody of a news broadcast.  I tried to think of a phrase to describe MSNBC and the best I could come up with was “the clatter of the clueless.”  Even the rest of the main stream media with its own liberal bias is appalled by MSNBC.  So are the viewers, which is why viewership at MSNBC is now at about a 20 year low.

Now, in an astonishing admission of the obvious, Andrea Mitchell informs us that President Obama has chosen the same class of clowns who regularly appear on MSNBC to give him advise on how to deal with ISIS/ISIL:

“It looks like a review of our guest list here at ‘Andrea Mitchell Reports,’” she said. “Julie, why did the president finally reach out and bring in all of these different voices on foreign policy?”

“It was a pretty unusual thing for the president to do,” Pace explained. “Not only does he not usually reach out to folks like this, he actually has criticized was he calls ‘the Washington chattering class,’ people who tend to comment from the outside.”

 “So this was a real attempt by the president to bring those people into the fold, let them hear directly from him,” she continued. “And also hear from them, get some advice. A lot of these people on the list — who as you said, are great guests on your show — are people who have been through a lot. And they might actually have some advice that he could learn from.”

It does take a special advisor to come up with a strategy based on the idiotic conclusion that the I in ISIS or ISIL which stands for Islamic does not mean that the group itself is Islamic.  Neither does the fact that they have a nasty habit of killing people who refuse to convert to Islam or their goal of setting up an Islamic caliphate.  Where does one find people capable of coming up with such obvious stupidity?  The answer is pretty easy:  MSNBC.

Obama brought in as advisors the only group of people left on the planet who hold residual illusions of him having a shred of leadership ability. It is pretty scary when a President with a failed foreign policy chooses to receive input from foreign policy advisors on a failed network notoriously inept and completely out of step with the American people.  With the President relying on this level of expertise for advice it is increasingly difficult to be an optimist.
