President Obama’s Umpteenth Tired, Dishonest Speech On Terrorism

Once again, President Obama emerged from his permanent sabbatical on the war on terror to inform us, in a bizarre address from the Oval Office, that he has things firmly under control and there’s no need for us Americans to be concerned. Excuse me if I’m not comforted. Obama has made quite clear that he is blind to the threat that radical Islam represents to America and the rest of the civilized world. He obviously believes that Islam produces no more or worse terrorists than any other religion or cult and that it is wrong to focus on the radical strain of Islam because it leads to discrimination against other Muslims — discrimination he seems to see under every rock.

We’ve repeated to the point of cliche that to effectively wage war, one must identify his enemy, and no one can rationally dispute this. But Obama can’t bring himself to identify radical Islam, Islamism or Islamic terrorism as our enemy. His blindness may be from his sentimental childhood attachment to Islam. It may be that his leftist ideology compels him to see conservatives, Republicans and Christians as America’s true enemies. But whatever it is, he is crippling the United States in this war and is making us increasingly vulnerable.

You could tell from Obama’s body language and his hurried tones that his heart was not in his speech. He didn’t want to be there. I suspect his advisers pressured him to make this speech because he had to do something to deceive the American people into believing that he is actually engaged and that we can trust him to lead us in this war. But he convinced no one with that lackluster address, in which he gave empty assurances that we are following a strategy that we all know to be nonexistent.

Many of my friends both Republicans and Democrats and four Independents just thrown into the mix for debate all say the same thing, no one, nada, zilch, zero, none believes obama and certainly no one trusts him either. He should have gone to the party skipped the speech then moochie would not look so mad for all the help and comfort and reassurance he portrayed. The man is a waste of space and more than enough hot air (no wonder he talks about global warming). No one except the welfare mongers believe him or trusts him.

For a long time now the sound of his voice, the cadence of his voice induces nausea and the intense need to take an unscheduled dump.

He a pathological liar-a ghetto hustler. It's no wonder the black race is in a shambles. If he is the best they have to offer they are in very very serious trouble and will never ever recover. They just need to keep on digging the graves for their own who are killing each other. When you idolize a liar it only shows just how low you have sunk as a race into the cess pool or immorality. Honesty is the basic pillar of a civil society.

when people see someone use the word 'fact', they believe someone is desperate to be believed and usually do not believe whatever is said, even if it is the truth. if what you say is true and factual, you do not have to point it out. the facts will speak for themselves
