Fox’s phony Democrat, Pat Caddell, visited Your World today to whine with host Neil Cavuto about President Obama not giving strategy to defeat ISIS in last night’s Oval Office speech.

“Well, the President not offering too many details on how he’s going to combat this latest terror threat here,” Cavuto began, “which is odd because other presidents in similar situations have spelled out exactly how that tone will change.”

“It wasn’t a JFK moment,” Cavuto complained, “and by that I mean JFK in the middle of the Cuban missile crisis immediately detailing exactly what he was going to do.” After a clip of President Kennedy speaking about the Cuban missile crisis, “former Democratic pollster” Caddell took over.

CADDELL: The entire country was watching that speech. We were united, and the country united around the president. …This president last night got up and did a regurgitation of his non-plan plans, that nothing changes, and part of the heart of it was to address an American people that he thinks for some reason were running pogroms.

Then it was time to complain that President Obama wasn’t more like Franklin D. Roosevelt. We saw a clip of FDR responding to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

CADDELL: With a very divided country previous to that day of going to war, he pulled it together, he gave us the confidence that we were going to win. …This president, who had to put a podium in because he’s so uncomfortable - it’s a question I ask people all the time: why is this president so uncomfortable of speaking from the office that has all the symbols. Last night he used it to give a political speech.

…Gun control, which I want to tell you, politically, Neil, has become a message to people which they hear a big signal when he does that. They say immediately, they’re not going to fight terrorism, and when he does the same thing when he won’t describe it as “radical Islamic terrorists” and Democrats won’t, people say they’re not serious.

Is there any doubt that if Fox News had been in existence during either FDR's or JFK’s presidency, each of whom were Democrats, that the network would have been bad mouthing them 24/7 the same way it does Obama?
