Following a press conference in which President Obama stubbornly refused to admit any failures in his strategy to fight ISIS, reporters on NBC and ABC were stunned by the commander-in-chief’s dismissive attitude toward the legitimate tough questioning he received.     

During an NBC special report immediately following the contentious exchange with reporters, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd declared: “I was struck by how defensive he was, how much he's paying attention to his political critics....I was surprised by his tone, I was surprised by the defensiveness. He didn't channel what I think a lot of Americans are feeling right now, a little bit of anger, a little bit of resolve, and a little bit of resiliency.”
