I think this is the worst presidential speech I've heard. It's rambling, disconnected, and out of touch with reality.

I believe the idiot wrote it himself, unless a committee wrote it by each one doing a section without seeing any of the others...

Obama: I dont remember what I just said, but I know that I am not responsible for what I supposedly said..I only heard of this when I turned on MSNBC..I am their #1 fan

*******

That’s how he gets around things. He reads it, then forgets it.

Maybe he’s trying to get America to fall asleep with this speech.

He’s telling everything he can to make himself look important, caring, in charge, and oh so damn competent.

He’s no CIC.

I read yesterday what the crux of this speech is. He signed whatever document he wrote yesterday that says he won't use drones if there is any chance a civilian could be killed. He is essentially dumping drones because they might kill some of his Muslim friends.

Also, that document says he will only attack a terrorist if that terrorist is a threat right then to our country. In other words, he won't kill a terrorist just because he is a terrorist walking down the street. The terrorist has to be involved right then in an attack before he will attack him.

In totality, he isn't killing any Muslim, period.

Obama is going to attack Conservatives again? Whenever I hear Obama say he is going to protect us against the “Enemy” I wonder if he’s talking about us

"Doing nothing is not an option" against terrorism, he said.

He didn't believe this during Benghazi!
