US President Barack Obama has criticized the Republican presidential candidates for not offering suggestions on how to handle ISIS.

President Obama made his comment in an NPR interview aired today (Monday), in which he claimed that his low approval ratings are due to his reaction to last month's attack in Paris. He pointed out that the US has carried out almost ten thousand airstrikes against the terror groups, yet Republicans still accuse him of not being active enough.

"When you ask them, 'well, what would you do instead?' they don't have an answer," said Obama.
