View Full Version : Obama speech: No real changes. A few Special Forces, more gun control on law-abiding

President Obama's speech on Sunday night was his opportunity to announce changes in his policies for fighting the terrorism that's growing around the world and has recently spread to the United States.

But he announced no real changes.

We must be careful not to say bad things about Muslims, because we might offend Muslims who aren't radical Islamic terrorists.

We need more "gun control" laws imposed on law-abiding people in America, even if the laws he proposes wouldn't have done anything to stop the terrorist attacks we have seen recently.

We will keep hoping that other countries start sending troops to fight on the ground against ISIS, but we won't send any. Except possibly a small number of Special Forces.

In the wake of the worst terrorist attack in America since 9/11, President Obama could have used his Oval Office address on Sunday night to announce different policies than the ones that have obviously failed to keep America safe from radical Islam.

He could have explained why a long-feared arrival of low-tech, soft-target terrorism had occurred, and what he would do to rectify the problem—beginning with apologizing for giving a U.S. visa to a jihadist from Pakistan and agreeing to stop his plan to bring more Syrian refugees here.

He could have announced a plan to undermine the ideology of our enemies—radical Islam—which impelled Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik to wage war in San Bernardino last week.

Instead he did what he always does with security threats: blame others for his administration’s lapses and do the minimum to appear to be reacting to them without actually doing anything.

The president instinctively wants to react to every security threat by assailing his domestic opponents.

In calling for Congress to ban those on the no-fly list from buying guns, Obama is attempting one of his trademark shifts in blame for problems he has created. The president instinctively wants to react to every security threat by assailing his domestic opponents.

Even if his proposed ban and other gun control measures were in place, they would not have stopped the attack in San Bernardino. Recent attacks like those in Paris show that jihadists have little problem overcoming gun laws, which serve mainly to disarm the law-abiding. Obama could also look to his adopted hometown of Chicago to see that gun control doesn’t work.

Obama’s moralizing about avoiding “suspicion and hate” implied, once again, that Americans are bigoted — another attempt to shift blame. It echoed a statement last week by Attorney General Loretta Lynch that the government would prosecute anti-Muslim speech that “edges toward violence,” whatever that means.

Just got to face the facts, LA.

Obama is clueless, unfit, deluded, and spineless.

Would someone commit a new crime so I don't have to listen to any more days' worth of San Bernardino?

I believe, when Obama is in bed at night with his goat. He dreams of more ways to blame all that is wrong in the World on WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America.

His speech (if you dare call it that), was nothing but more of the same SCOLDING of all of us, for being so cruel, and unkind to his BUDDIES who are terrorists, that he blames us for Offending them.
Too bad ISIS hasn't released their Insider member of the Muslim Brotherhood who WORKS at the W/H.

What a surprise Obama will one day get...when he finds the BLOODY head of a GOAT in his bed. And he won't be able to tell the difference with Mooshell.:laugh::laugh::laugh:
