In the wake of the Paris terror attack, U.S. President Barack Obama admitted in his interview with NPR public radio that he somehow relates his low approval rating by the way his administration handled the situation.

According to Reuters, Obama's administration is very open to "legitimate criticism," but he has also reprimanded Republican presidential candidates for their lack of alternative advice on how to handle the Islamic State. His statement is addressed to several Republicans, who have criticized the way he handles the situation. He said, "When you ask them, 'well, what would you do instead?' they don't have an answer."

 

Since the Paris attack, the U.S. military force has delivered at least 9,000 strikes against the Islamic State and has significantly retrieved Iraq and Sinjar from the ISIS.

Obama, however, also admitted that one of the reasons his administration is receiving such criticism is their inability to be transparent with their plans against the ISIS. Much more, on a regular basis, they failed to describe in detail the work they have been doing. He said, "I think there is a legitimate criticism of what I've been doing in the sense that we haven't, on a regular basis described all the work."

Obama also took a swipe on presidential candidate Donald Trump on his exploitation of the blue-collar men, wherein their worries are much more heightened, given how much they have adjusted in the past. He said that while his statements were justified, the way they were delivered showed some signs of misdirection, and Trump has significantly taken advantage of that. Trump has successfully interjected his message among the blue-collar men amidst their anger and frustration.

Obama also rejected the idea of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to implement a no-fly zone in the skies of Syria. He said that ISIS doesn't have its own air force, making it futile to implement the no-fly zone.

The president's interview on the NPR public radio is just one of the many interviews his administration has taken in order to reassure the people of the situation being completely controlled.

Obama's administration, accepting the fault of not being open about their plans as well as welcoming some alternative advice, showed signs that there's a need for unity when it comes to fighting ISIS.

What do you think of Barack Obama's reaction to his critics? Are you satisfied by the way his administration handled the situation?
