Andrea Mitchell Rips Obama Prayer Speech: After Pilot Is Burned, "Don't Lean Back, Be Philosophical"

Mitchell criticized Obama for leaning over backwards to be philosophical days after it was found out that a captured Jordanian pilot was burned alive by ISIS.

"You don't use the word Crusades, number one, in any context right now," Mitchell said on NBC's Meet the Press today. "It's just it's too fraught. And the week after a pilot is burned alive, in a video shown, you don't lean over backwards to be philosophical about the sins of the fathers. You have to deal with the issue that's in front of you or don't deal with it at all."

Oddly, Mitchell's co-panelist, conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks defended the president, calling himself "pro-Obama" on the subject.

Obama even gives the Libs heartburn.

We are going to need a strong president in 2017 to start cleaning up all the damage Obama and his czars have wrought. As with the aftermath of Carter, it will takes decades.

“It’s just too fraught” Oh, really?

seems to me like the Crusaders were remarkably constrained (rules of engagement?) and the Jihadis were, well, anywhere and everywhere.

When the Crusaders fought the Muslim armies they were not constrained. They couldn’t have survived by constraining themselves. They did a remarkable job.

Taking a cue from the Musloids, the Crusades never happened.

They are just a figment of Musloid imagination.
