Web Video: Shields and Brooks on the president’s speech

In a prime-time address Wednesday night, President Barack Obama tried to rally Americans to fight the Islamic State militant group operating out of Iraq and Syria. Reaction to the president’s speech and policy ranged from support to skepticism to questions of a lack of specifics. New York Times columnist David Brooks said it was a “clear, straightforward” speech, but asked, “What’s the next step?” Syndicated columnist Mark Shields noted that the president laid out a “big set of promises,” but “made the case against [the Islamic State group] better than he made the case for his own action.”
