Egg on the President's Face ... Again

This morning on ABC's Good Morning America, President Obama made the following statement in response to a question from host George Stephanopoulos concerning ISIS. Breitbart has both text and video:

I don’t think they’re gaining strength. What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them.

Later in the day, gunmen with suicide vests and explosives killed more than a hundred people at several locations across Paris. Before being killed or blowing themselves up, they were heard to shout "Allahu akbar" and "this is for Syria."

Two successive headlines from the Lucianne.com website:

Obama On Widening ISIS Threat: ´We Have Contained Them´
Investor´s Business Daily, by Editorial

Who was responsible? The coordinated attacks suggest ISIS or al Qaeda. What they do not suggest is any effective containment of militant Islam whatsoever.

Hapless Barack Obama just can't catch a break. Fate keeps flipping him the fickle finger.
