#ThingsWeHaveaStrategyFor
— David Burge (@iowahawkblog) August 28, 2014
“We don’t have a strategy yet” — even Obama lapdog Vox called it a line “that’ll likely haunt him for the rest of his presidency.” White House press secretary Josh Earnest did his best to mop up the mess afterward, but Obama’s admission was the soundbite of the day, bar none.
It all begs the question: if not ISIS, what does the White House have a strategy for? Tweeters took a guess.

Samantha Power invites Syrian refugees over for a photo-op
Samantha Power, United States ambassador to the United Nations, wants to welcome refugees into the country with open arms. The next time you think you’re being clever by asking Power how many Syrian refugee families she’s taken in, keep in mind that she’s taken in one family more than you have for dinner and a photo-op and just might have them back for her Super Bowl party.
The New York Times notes that the Al Teibawi family, who have settled in New Jersey, weren’t greeted at the airport by U.S. government officials, unlike those lucky refugees who landed in Canada and were personally greeted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Perhaps to make up for that slight, the Al Teibawis were invited to join Power for dinner at her official penthouse residence atop the Waldorf Towers.
I wanted to make sure that at least one family could hear directly from me as a representative of President Obama but also as an immigrant, myself, to this country just how much we value the contribution that we know that they’ll make to this country, Power told the Times.
Power is from Ireland, while her husband, Cass Sunstein, is proud of his Lithuanian lineage. “Over a meal of pizza, chicken parmigiana and spaghetti, broccoli and salad, Mr. Sunstein welcomed them and mentioned that the immigration papers of his great-great-Lithuanian ancestors were hung in another room. Were a nation of immigrants, Mr. Sunstein said. What a curious thing to say over pizza.
You obviously haven’t learned the lesson of the article not that there was a lesson in it. No, it was just an interesting anecdote, really.
Was there any leftover spaghetti?
