                PRESIDENT OBAMA'S TIMID RESPONSE TO ISIS

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, it is so disappointing that President 
Obama believes a climate change summit is somehow a rebuke of 
international terrorism. Think about that.
  The President's timid response about how to take on ISIS and how to 
define our enemy has emboldened our enemy, radical Islamists 
extremists.
  But he has not been timid in his response on global warming. At a 
meeting of world leaders right now in Paris, President Obama is 
choosing to pursue his climate change agenda instead of addressing how 
we are going to destroy ISIS.
  In fact, our President seems to believe that global warming is a 
greater threat than international terrorism. It is clear, in the wake 
of the horrific attacks in Paris, that his priorities are gravely 
misplaced.
  When discussing ISIS, the President reminded the Nation that ``we've 
faced

greater threats to our way of life before.'' True. But that doesn't 
change the fact that radical Islamic extremism is the threat we face 
now.
