President Barack Obama has taken a lot of criticism from political opponents over his rhetoric when it comes to terrorism. But on Wednesday at a CNN presidential town hall, he was asked to defend why he refuses to say "Islamic" terrorism to a Gold Star mother.

"My son gave his life for acts of terrorism," audience member Tina Houchins told Obama at the town hall moderated by CNN's Jake Tapper. "Do you still believe that the acts of terrorism are done for the self-proclaimed Islamic religious motive? And if you do, why do you still refuse to use the term ... Islamic terrorist?"

Obama called it a "sort of manufactured" issue.

"There is no doubt, and I've said repeatedly, where we see terrorist organizations like al Qaeda or ISIL -- They have perverted and distorted and tried to claim the mantle of Islam for an excuse for basically barbarism and death," he said....

As usual, Obama lies.

“He checked out of the job in June of 2015.”

True,

Once he got his reprobate agenda rammed through,

Obama is a full on demonic Sunni Muslim, and that evil entity is not leaving,

Hillary will swallow that demon if she expects to be installed in the White House, that may be what we’re seeing happening now with her bobble headed flailing about in public,

This is a battle against spiritual wickedness in high places,

Between those that want America to be this worlds ‘Babylon the Great’ and those (like us) that don’t,

I don’t love Christians and Jews.

That is partially true. He not only doesn't love Christians and Jews. He has a vehement and rabid hatred for them.
