#1 If he does nothing [or as little as possible] long enough, he'll be able to hand it off to the next guy, or gal.

#3 To reflect the urgency Obama stated that he wanted to review the plan after hole 9 instead of waiting until after the round was complete.

#4 Protect the Kurds (and maybe Jordan), and let Isis and Iran and Syria fight. Even Obama should be able to handle that.

#5 I call BS - he wants a CMA plan and wants it ASAP. He's got fundraisers and golf to attend to and he will not be deterred.

#6 Obama is kind of stuck, actively go after ISIS with a lot more force, he risks losing the far left that he needs to turn out for the November election; if he does decide to act more decisively he has to go to the House to get approval, which negates to some degree his ability to act on his own and will almost certainly require him to concede something to the Republicans, which will further piss off the far left; if he acts on his own, he pisses off the far left, the Republicans and the independent voters who aren't paying attention to what is going on in the Middle East and don't want the United States back in another Middle East war. It would be a lot of fun to watch if so many innocent lives weren't at stake.
