Contorno pointed out that critics of President Obama (POTUS) have taken exception to his “JV” remark (in reference to ISIS), wherein he stated, “The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant.” Contorno went on to add that the comment originated in a profile of Obama by Editor David Remnick, published in The New Yorker on Jan. 27, 2014. In it, Remnick also wrote, “In the 2012 campaign, Obama spoke not only of killing Osama bin Laden; he also said that Al Qaeda had been ‘decimated.’”1
