How Obama’s failed leadership is literally killing us
Washington Times ^ | 6/16/2016 | Monica Crowley

The jihad rolls on, while Mr. Obama and his team refer to "terror" while pointedly refusing to acknowledge the Islamic beliefs that inspire it.

This suicidal unwillingness to call the enemy what it is — never mind do something concrete to defeat it — comes straight from the top. The Obama administration has engaged in all kinds of politically correct gymnastics to avoid making the connection between Islam and terror, terming acts of terror "man-made disasters" missions fought abroad "overseas contingency operations," and in the case of the Islamic attack at Ford Hood, "workplace violence."

The virus of political correctness has long infected the way in which Mr. Obama, his administration and many in the media speak about the enemy — when they do at all — and in how they deal with it. It's no wonder that despite waving Islamist red flags everywhere from his place of employment to the FBI, Mateen roamed freely until he committed mass murder.

Mr. Obama initially dismissed ISIS as "junior varsity." He later declared the organization "contained" — just a day before it launched its massacre in Paris.

I keep wondering what Andrea Tartonos would be saying about this if she was allowed back on FOX.

Take it back

Not one person on this has ever mistaken Candy Crowley and Monica Crowley

Anyone who doesn’t know Monica Crowley doesn’t read conservative media

For the record Monica Crowley is one of about four trustworthy pundits

Marco Rubio and Florida Governor Rick Scott hanging out with Obama and Biden at the Orlando photo-op today. Rubio flew to Orlando on Air Force 1.

Guilty, as charged. I plead a feeble mind, and for the mercy of the court.

Nice... but wrong rifle. Our enemies use AKs almost exclusively, and shouldn’t he be carrying a Koran and using women and children to hide behind?

Just a thought. :)

How is Obama killing Americans? Let us count the ways. I’ll start:

ObamaCare has driven up the costs of medical insurance for middle-class Americans, thus reducing benefits for those that can’t afford skyrocketing medical and insurance costs. Reduced benefits means less treatment and an earlier death.

nit pick but...

It’s not failed leadership. He’s been doing a very good job at exactly what he intended to accomplish.

Enemy is as enemy does.
