Obama goes on tirade against Trump over Muslim ban, 'radical Islam'
CNN ^ | June 14, 2016 | Kevin Liptak and Karl de Vries

Posted on 06/14/2016 10:10:59 AM PDT by PROCON

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Tuesday unleashed a blistering verbal assault on Donald Trump and his proposal for a ban on Muslims entering the country, saying the suggestion violates the principles of American democracy and dismissing the "yapping" from "politicians who tweet."

Obama also angrily pushed back against criticism for not using the term "radical Islamic terrorism," calling it "loose talk."

"What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?" Obama asked during remarks at the Treasury Department. "Would it make ISIL less committed to try and kill Americans?" he continued, using a different acronym for ISIS.

Why is this moron the only one who calls them ISIL?

ISIS = Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

ISIL = Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.

When "Obama" says ISIL, he is acknowledging al-Baghdadi's claim over Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan as well as Syria.

Typical OBAMA SNAKE OIL! I watched the whole thing and he sneakily said “Saying the words ‘Radical Islam’ won’t accomplish anything and make ISIL go away.” (paraphrasing)

THAT’S NOT THE PROBLEM AT ALL. Of course Trump doesn’t think those words will make it go away. Trump thinks we need to CONFRONT the problem and destroy the PC Mantra that tells us lies that “Islam is a peaceful religion”

Trump’s insistence on saying the words “Radical Islam’ will cause us to be less dangerously complacent. Yes, in the long run, being adults about this situation WILL eventually help resolve the problem.

Trump needs to nail him for this condescending trickery.

Obama is pissed that people are rallying against Islamic extremism, including his beloved LGBT’s are getting the picture more clearly about Islam.

ISIS is not accurate. ISIL is the appropriate name being that Leviathan incorporates the Israelis Promised Land and identifies it as a state for Palestine - Israel will not exist

"the principles of American democracy" (sic)

Someone should point out to the President, that the Constitution did not create a "Democracy." It created a legal framework for protecting the existing American population and their "Posterity." While the present rooted American posterity includes a lot of people whose forebears came in later, seeking acceptance into the ongoing American experience, the fundamental principle has not changed. As I posted a little earlier:

The Preamble to the Constitution does not leave any doubt. How do you do this other than by putting America & Americans first in every application of the delegated functions:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Unfortunately, the Congress & present Administration have avoided putting America & the rooted posterity of Americans first. They behave like their duty is to some sort of fantasy of a humanist world purpose, rather than to the specific people they are sworn to serve. Blathering about "empathy" shows not empathy, but indifference to reality--something very, very far from genuine empathy.

“”What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?” Obama asked during remarks at the Treasury Department.”

Well, a few more of our citizens might be able to live complete lives and we wouldn’t have the creeping $hit of Islam here!

Because that’s what Muslims call them.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) The undefined region around Syria is historically referred to as the Levant (an archaic French phrase for the “lands of the rising sun), including modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine and Jordan.

For a while the term was suddenly “Daesh”, which suddenly disappeared a few weeks later.

"Militants threatened to cut the tongue of anyone who publicly used the acronym Daesh, instead of referring to the group by its full name, saying it shows defiance and disrespect."

Obama is much offended that his Muslim Brotherhood pals are unhappy right now over the state of the world and US politics.... it is Ramadan and the MB should be celebrating nothing but victories, according to Obama.

OBAMA’S SLICK LIE is that he said today: “That’s the key, they tell us: We cannot beat ISIL unless we call them radical Islamists.”

**NOBODY HAS EVER SAID THAT!!!!!!!

That’s OBAMA snake oil in action

OBAMA QUOTE from today’s speech:

-— “And let me make a final point. For a while now, the main contribution of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle have made in the fight against ISIL is to criticize the administration and me for not using the phrase “radical Islam.” That’s the key, they tell us: We cannot beat ISIL unless we call them radical Islamists.

What exactly would using this label would accomplish? What exactly would it change? Would it make ISIL less committed to try to kill Americans? Would it bring in more allies? Is there a military strategy that is served by this?

The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. This is a political distraction. “

The Mooselimb faggot is all wee wee’d up!

Couldn’t agree more with the previous statement, all the while this country is in a kind of peril that has never been in not even WWII; while this president does nothing. I pray that our country can hang on until Jan 20,2017, that is if it’s a President Trump, if it’s a president hillary......our country is gone.

It’s called identifying the enemy. If you don’t do it you can’t address it. BTW Obama - the language you use emboldens them.
