Todd Wilcox: President Obama takes “coward’s way out”

The next good review of Sunday night’s President Barack Obama‘s address, at least from GOP Senate candidates, will be the first.

Todd Wilcox joined the chorus of criticism, with a Monday morning email, “What America needs now.”

The email focuses in on what Wilcox believes is Obama failing to “provide the leadership needed to eliminate ISIS,” instead redirecting the discourse to “attacks [on] the rights of law-abiding citizens as outlined in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.”

The President waited days to acknowledge the savage loss of life in San Bernardino was a terror attack on our country and chose to immediately play the worst kind of liberal political game – that which attacks the rights of law-abiding citizens as outlined in the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. Last night, he continued those attacks and again failed to provide the leadership needed to eliminate ISIS. Perhaps the American people would be better served if this President put aside his role as head of the Democrat party and instead brushed up on Article 2 of the Constitution which outlines his responsibility as Commander in Chief.

After each shooting spree, liberals always want to take the guns away from the people who didn’t do it. Now more than ever, the American people are desperately seeking leadership. Stripping law-abiding Americans of their Second Amendment right to protect themselves and their loved ones in the face of growing terrorist threats here at home isn’t leadership, it’s the coward’s way out.

Wilcox used the email to direct readers to a Sunshine State News column on how he would defeat ISIS and “save Western civilization.” His plan includes announcing “a time certain in which Raqqa will be destroyed,‭ ‬allow civilian population time to leave,‭ ‬then destroy the entire city.
