President Obama answered Donald Trump’s dangerous, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim post-Orlando message today in a remarkably forceful speech, saying that Donald Trump’s insistence on calling the Orlando shooting and other domestic terror attacks “radical Islamic terrorism” is a political maneuver that doesn’t make Americans safer.
“For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle … in the fight against ISIL is to criticize this administration and me for not using the phrase ‘radical Islam.’
“‘That’s the key,’ they tell us. ‘We can’t beat ISIL unless we call them ‘radical Islamists.’
“What exactly would using this label accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to trying to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this? The answer is, ‘None of the above.’

ReplyDeletethere military should have said their military and this guy is The President of the United States of America!!!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it better. I am so disappointed in our president, and I voted for him the first term, I saw him as a deep thinker one that would always think things through connect better with our allies, be positive for us and he is just disconnected, non supportive and a coward.
ReplyDelete2:33 PM what is sad about that statement, not only is it true, but most Americans are to stupid to understand that....
ReplyDeleteAmen!
Deleteguess who Obama talking you are.
ReplyDeleteAt times I forget that Obama is our(not mine) President. You only see him when he has something negative to say
ReplyDeleteObama wants to disarm law abiding gun owners and by not doing anything to deter terror attacks he hopes that will result in gun confiscation.
