That is *exactly* the right analogy.

Nothing like a tough, clear answer to a simple question!
Here is video of President Obama in India taking a question from a young lady who asked Obama very straightforwardly, “What is your opinion of Jihad?”
Obama’s answer? “Well, the phrase Jihad has a lot of meanings within Islam, and is subject to a lot of different interpretations.” He then droned on about how Islam is a peaceful religion and the vast majority of adherents are peaceful people. He did say that violence on the part of any religion against others is not justified.
This young lady asked a very clear question, and Obama knows full well that by “Jihad” she meant the belief by untold numbers of Muslims that killing the infidel in the name of Islam is fully justified – even required of devout Muslims. Rather than address the root of Radical Islamic Jihadist attacks on the United States, India and other nations, Obama parsed the meaning of the word and gave his usual non-answer. What a missed opportunity to condemn “Jihad,” and to call on Muslim leaders around the world to join him in condemning it. But that might hurt someone’s feelings. It might even make Radical Muslims want to do America harm.

It depends upon what “Is” is, doesn’t it?
BS Obama...You Muzzie loving fool!!
Ask him what Socialism means.
When a liberal does not want to answer truthfully, they will go off into the “complexity of life” garbage as he did.
It’s basically convoluted garbage that makes everyone feel good and avoids answering the question.
Will the media, those awesome investigative journalists, call him out? Nah......
He’s not talking to dumb-downed American’s. The Indian people are very astute and can see right through his double talk.
The vast majority of Nazis never directly shot or gassed Jews. That make them peaceful?
How nuanced he is...
yEAH, 98 percent of the meanings are KILL THE INFIDEL.
I’m sure Obama learned all about jihad when he attended Muslin schools in Indonesia getting the meaning firsthand from the Koran.
...isolate those who have distorted notions of religious war..
blah blah blah ...it means religious war... blah blah blah
Isn't it odd how often we hear this description of Islam?
Isn't it a given that a religion should be peaceful?
We don't hear that Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc, are peaceful. We just assume that anyone who believes and practices any of these religions is not likely to plant explosives in their underwear to blow up a plane
On the other hand - even with all the assurances of their peacefulness- when we think of a practicing "peaceful" Muslim- we rightfully wonder where he parked his car..... and if and when it will explode.
Obowmao has been leading a Jihad against the US since he became a US Senator. He is still waging war on us. Last Tuesday we showed him we could fight back. But I think it’s going to take a lot more than that to win this Jihad against us.
Hmmm...I wonder if he thinks ‘killing Americans’ in one of the meanings?
-running a staff
-the military
-law enforcement
-intelligence
-foreign affairs
-being an executive
-business or economics
-who is young
-with a soft degree in law (no real math of science)
-never had a job doing anything where he had a tangible outcome or product other than a piece of paper
-who operated at a local/provincial level all his life until thrust into the Presidency
is so complex, smart and deep that we just can't understand him. lol
Hey, he had someone write two books, was a state senator where he use race politics to get elected and gave a speech at Harvard, his alma mater, aren't you impressed?
Which is the same manner in which he doesn't answer every question.
India is a bad place to tell people about the peaceful nature of Islam.
Bet that was warmly embraced in Mumbai.
That is *exactly* the right analogy.
