Obama And 9/11

The Anniversary: Eight days after terrorism declared war on America, a young state senator blamed it on "a failure of empathy" — yet another reason why Barack Obama should never be commander in chief.

---

The July 20 issue of the New Yorker magazine got a lot of attention for its cover, which carried a "satirical" cartoon depicting Michelle and Barack Obama that Obama supporters found tasteless and offensive. Buried inside that issue's feature story, however, was a reaction by Obama to 9/11 that all voters should find even more tasteless and offensive.

The article reprised a piece published in Chicago's Hyde Park Herald on Sept. 19, 2001, and written by a then-unknown and otherwise undistinguished state senator from Illinois. The senator, a former community organizer, wrote that after tightening security at our airports and repairing our intelligence networks, we "must also engage . . . in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness."

According to Barack Obama, the madness that drove terrorists to turn passenger jets into manned cruise missiles aimed at our centers of finance, government and military power "grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."

As if the answer to the attacks should have been food stamps for al-Qaida.

Resume of: B HUSSEIN OBAMA

1.) COLB
Proven fake by more than one source
2.) Sketchy childhood
We know some details - Lots of gaps - muslim?
3.) College thesis has vanished
Was it anything like Michele’s?
4.) Overseas travel
Pakistan? Why? On what passport?
5.) Law records
What cases did he represent?
6.) Senate records disappeared
What was he trying to hide?
7.) Associations
Rev Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Michele etc.
8.) Senate voting record
That speaks for itself
9.) SCOTUS
Who would his choices be?
10.) Proven Liar
11.) Inexperience
12.) Racist, Sexist, Radical, Marxist views

His judgement in the people he associates with and his radical/marxist views scare the hell out of me.

Come down and try to convince me of that “feeling” Nobama.

The USA spends millions every year helping people all over the world.
The only time the Third World will realize how much we have helped them is when there is no more to give and the coffers are empty.

Parts of the world are downright parasitic, and IMO, Nobama is one of the biggest sponsors of the continuing parasitic attitudes of those in Third World countries.

How much “empathy” has Nobama shown towards him half-brother who lives on the equivilant of $12 US a year???

Cry me a river, you lying Marxist POS. Every day I feel stronger and stronger that you must be stopped.
Biden is just a power hungry follower. He refuses to even look at your true message.
He is also part of the problem and will never be part of the solution, just like Nobama.

I have no doubt how FDR and LBJ would have responded to 9/11, and it wouldn't have been by trying to understand Al-Qaeda's feelings. These guys who have been in control of the Democratic Party since the McGovern era are a different kind of liberal altogether.

fdr and lbj had no qualms about using the military that

new left since the sixties abhors.

but as for the idea that social programs can “heal” the world’s injustices,

that’s the point of this ibd editorial, and i agree with them—food stamps for al queda—will not.

Imbecile. The climate that bred the Atta gang wasn't one of "poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair." All of those murdering thugs were over-educated fascists from well-off Saudi families, and they weren't too goddamned helpless to fake their way into U.S. flight schools.

The only ignorance on display here lives between Obamugabe's ears.

"My position has always been clear: If you've got a terrorist, take him out," Obama said. "Anybody who was involved in 9/11, take 'em out."

BULLSTALIN

This from a man who befriended a terrorist who bombed the Pentagon back in the 1970s. Hey Barry, when are you gonna "take out" Bill Ayers? You lying Marxist scumbag.
