ISIS didn't just pop up overnight. This administration has had to have known about ISIS for some time before it even made the 24/7 news cycle.
Yet he goes on TV and proclaims his administration is still formulating a strategy. He's had options laid out in front of him by his cabinet/joint chiefs/state dept even before it hit the news cycle.
The problem is he is indecisive, overtly political, and lacking the character of leadership.

His family releases a statement after U.S. intelligence officials confirm the authenticity of a video that showed Sotloff's beheading by Islamic State.
So ISIS functions like a well oiled machine. Like one of the above posters said, their leaders could run a Fortune 500 company, because no other terrorist organization has driven not just one legitimate nation, but two, to the fences like ISIS has.
But I'm curious. Why would ISIS go as far as to provoke the United States into a war? Surely their leaders understand that despite their military prowess, their gains have largely been made based off of an absence of leadership; both Iraq and especially Syria are militarily compromised. If we actually put ISIS up against a real military like Turkey's, Iran's, or the IDF, they would melt away. And despite Turkey, Iran, or Israel's military potential, these are just regional powers. I don't say this to sound high and mighty whatsoever, but is it really that smart to rattle the cage of the world's sole military superpower?
Surely there's some other intent here.
Thank you for asking. The answer is simple. They want America to blunder in and kill another 100.000 innocent civillians. Everytime America involves itself in genocidal warfare in the Middle East, it creates thousands of brand new jihadis. Nothing nurtures the growth of radical Islam more than American medddling. ISIS recognizes this and is hoping to taunt America into another meaningless and stupid war.
and if republican congress gets it's way that's exactly what isis will get.

Bin Laden's overall strategy against much larger enemies such as the Soviet Union and United States was to lure them into a long war of attrition in Muslim countries, attracting large numbers of jihadists who would never surrender. He believed this would lead to economic collapse of the enemy nations.[71] Al-Qaeda manuals clearly express this strategy. In a 2004 tape broadcast by al-Jazeera, bin Laden spoke of "bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy".[72]
President Obama squashed the Republican chorus that is calling for more U.S. military involvement in Iraq. John McCain, Lindsey Graham and other Republicans went on national television to call for a return to the war in Iraq as a matter of national security. Sen. Graham (R-SC) went so far as to claim that an American city would burn if Obama did not come with a stronger military response.
Obamas answer was a firm restatement of his belief that there is no U.S. military solution in Iraq and that peace has to be arrived at through Iraqis coming together to solve their own problems. The failure of the Bush administrations plan to spread democracy in the Middle East one war at a time proves that peace and democracy can only flourish when the majority decide that they are committed to these outcomes.
suppose he can call it his idea but

just saying
Ramzan Kadyrov, the flamboyant President of the Chechen Republic, which is a highly-autonomous part of Russia, reacted angrily to the video.
“Those bastards have nothing to do with Islam. They are enemies of Muslims everywhere,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
“Whoever dares to threaten Russia and say out loud the name of our President Vladimir Putin will be destroyed right where he is… These people will end their days under the hot sun of Syria and Iraq and moments after death they will be greeted by the flames of eternal hell.”
