Beware of the evil man.

He will only turn it into an excuse to harass those who do not support him.

“We’re going to have to be vigilant generally. Right now the problem with ISIS is the fact that they’re destabilizing the country,” Obama said, using a common acronym for the group. “That could spill over into some of our allies like Jordan.”

destabilizing??

much the same could be said of Obama and his policies here.

as to vigilant generally?? wtf is that?

not comatose, semi-coherent,, as if there aren’t enough clear and present dangers all around, many from his regime and admin henchmen alone.

Thanks NormsRevenge.
