Obama’s tantrum a striking display of failed leadership
New York Post ^ | 15 Jun 2016 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 06/15/2016 5:48:58 AM PDT by relictele

If it is true that the best defense is a good offense, President Obama should be celebrating in the end zone now. Obviously furious over criticism that his anti-terror policies are weak and that the Orlando slaughter proves it, he went on a televised tirade to let America know he’s mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. He laid waste to a field of straw men, cable-TV pundits and the always-evil “partisan rhetoric,” by which he means anyone who disagrees with him.

WRONG. Words matter.

Obama was angry at Trump for outing his ability to lump Islamic terrorist with conservative Americans - Obama's political enemies.

Obama wants totalitarian power to control traditional Americans. Obama can ONLY get that power by marrying LAWS against Islamic terrorists with laws that cover American citizens.

It's why Obama and Hillary fought to use the term 'extremist' - they wanted that term to cover their political enemies with the same power AND LAWS used against a 'war' enemy.

Notice the overreaction of Obama and Hillary to what Trump said - the REACTION was greater than the reaction to the slaughter of 49 American citizens.

Trump knows something doesn't add up... he's right.

I think Obama is contemplating a drone strike on Trump.

Obama is showing his frustration at being President instead of Chief Mullah.
