Obama’s response to terror: A shrug

President Obama used his State of the Union address to urge Americans not to fear terrorists: We lead best, when we dont let our fears blind us to the opportunities that this new century presents.
But his words reached Americans when the Gallup Poll notes that 40 percent of Americans are very or somewhat worried that they will become a victim of terrorism a higher percentage than when Obama took office in 2009.
They have reason for concern. From Day One, this administration has downplayed the terrorist threat from Islamic extremists. It declared the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 as workplace violence.
It pulled all US troops out of Iraq, allowing ISIS to move in and create a training ground for terrorists. Protracted negotiations with Iran have allowed that rogue nation to fortify and proliferate its nuclear facilities.
Even Sen. Robert Menendez, former chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a Democrat, says President Obamas statements on the issue sounds like talking points coming out of Tehran.
President Obama even had to apologize for not sending a high-level official to the unity rally in Paris protesting the murders at Charlie Hebdo by Islamic terrorists.

Sadly, the last thing the French and other allies should do is to take any advice the Obama administration has to give on fighting terrorism.

We are in the most dangerous times in all of history and have a psychotic, parasitic nimrod steering the ship of state.
Alas, we are a ship of fools.

President Obama used his State of the Union address to urge Americans not to fear terrorists: We lead best, when we dont let our fears blind us to the opportunities that this new century presents. Are you completely sure he wasn't addressing terrorists when he said that?

I think Obama is not a very smart person, but I think he KNOWS he is destroying America. His kids will suffer along with the rest of us... I hope he knows that!
