Obama: "We can absorb a terrorist attack" (Woodward book)

Washington Post ^

[STARWISE]

"During an interview with Woodward in July, the president said, "We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger."

If there was ANYONE ... ANY American .. who brushed off the obvious radical takeover of this country by this exclusively partisan, impudent and incompetent CIC, who may have been blase or indifferent or thought it was 'politics as usual,'

this statement .. and this statement ALONE .. should disabuse them forever of the naive notion that this country is NOT on the brink of disaster.

God forbid, he's doing everything under the sun to encourage another attack, and is probably besot with the same twisted and insane Clinton melancholy of being CIC for a catastrophic event here .. to show off his 'hero' muscles and build legacy. .

God help us .. keep praying for His mercy

He simply doesn’t give a flying f&&& about American lives.

Let us borrow from and paraphrase Tonto when the Lone Ranger and him were surrounded by Indians and Lone Ranger asked, “What are we going to do, Tonto?” and Tonto replied “What do you mean “we” (half) White man?”

We "absorbed" 9/11 because it was a conventional attack. What happens if a nuclear attack leaves Los Angeles, New York, or DC, a radioactive wasteland for 50 years? How will we "absorb" that?

WORST PRESIDENT EVER

[misterrob]

well, is he wrong? I wouldn’t trust his leadership but I do trust the majority of the American people to step up and do what they needed to.

He’s completely detached, and IIRC, he blamed US, in part, for 9/11.

We are stronger, but NOT because of ANYTHING he ever said or did. He fought President Bush and our military every step of the way.

[turfmann]

The problem is that 52% of the electorate made him C-I-C!

If he doesn’t want to respond he doesn’t have to.

Which is why I believe we need to impeach this guy before it’s too late.

[Armaggedon]

Whose side is Obama on?

WHERE ARE THE JOBS?

Didn't you get the memo? We are not in a recession.

Great poll at the site with interesting comments.

The peons are expendable, easily replaced.

Yeah, with illegal aliens, preregistered by the DNC...

Hey whats another 3,000+ lives to this guy. He can care less what happens to us, he probably hopes those who die are Republicans. I don’t even think Carter would have said something like this, and that speaks volumes

[Flavious_Maximus]

Maybe we can absorb the attack if the target is the New York Times building? Now that I think about it, Obama is correct. We can absorb a lot of attacks, as long as they are against the left wing commies.

“What measures are in place to remove a pathological imbecile liar harming America beyond words from office?”

That's been my question for some time. After reading many Vince Flynn books, I am praying that there are Special Forces, commandos, FBI patriots at work behind the scenes who will protect WE THE PEOPLE against this socialist who is hell bent on destroying America as we know it, only to re-build it in his hideous image.

We may not know who, or when or how, but we implore and pray that you are out there and that you will step up to save the Constitution, our life, our liberty and this country.

I can think of absorbing an accident or attack on a certain family but can’t talk too much about it because it might upset the Praetoria.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Something is strange. I went and read the entire article.
Woodward was allowed/invited to be in on the inside. This is not a leak from a disgruntled person that left the WH.

They had to know this was coming. The timing sinks Obama’s ship politically all around.

Are they so stupid and arrogant that they think all of this behavior and outlandish thoughts and comments are normal?
The timing... is uncanny. An expose’ of dangerous quotes not the norm of gossipy who is sleeping with who dirt on a seated POTUS right before November elections is strange...

Obama invited this exposure. This is very serious and scary.

Was it leaked because people are truly concerned with him in there? Can’t be because this book won’t cause any trials and we have to live with this man as POTUS now.If this is the Clinton Smear Machine it is beyond politics it is frightening.

What happens if a nuclear attack leaves Los Angeles, New York, or DC, a radioactive wasteland for 50 years? How will we "absorb" that?

Lets see. Blow Los Angeles off the map. Well there haven't been any good movies out of Hollywood for the last couple of years so no loss there. It would kill 14.7 million Democrats. Obama's margin of victory in the 2008 election was only 9.5 million votes so perhaps he should worry. Oh wait, dead democrats still vote. So that must be why he thinks we can absorb it.

[massgopguy]

That’s exactly what it means.
