“ISIS is not an existential threat to the United States. Climate change is a potential existential threat to the entire world if we don’t do something about it.”—President Obama
President Obama was recently interviewed by The Atlantic, where it was reported that the commander-in-chief “frequently reminds his staff that terrorism takes far fewer lives in America than handguns, car accidents, and falls in bathtubs do.”
That statement was taken by many to mean that the president believes the fear of terrorism is exaggerated, Chris Wallace noted. And bathtubs don’t try to kill people.
On Syria-
And the fact that I was about to pull back from the immediate pressures and think through in my own mind what was in America’s interest, not only with respect to Syria but also with respect to our democracy, was as tough a decision as I’ve made—and I believe ultimately it was the right decision to make.”
The move stunned U.S. allies and Obama’s cabinet and closest advisors. Goldberg reports that when Secretary of State John Kerry learned of the decision, he told a friend, “I just got fucked over.” Goldberg also reports that, over the last year, Kerry has repeatedly lobbied Obama to launch missiles at specific Assad regime targets in Syria, which Obama has steadfastly resisted. Goldberg reports: “Recently, when Kerry handed Obama a written outline of new steps to bring more pressure to bear on Assad, Obama said, ‘Oh, another proposal?’ …At a National Security Council meeting held at the Pentagon in December, Obama announced that no one except the secretary of defense should bring him proposals for military action.”
Of course here Obama blames……
On Europe’s responsibility for the “shitshow” of Libya:
Obama blames Great Britain and France, in part, for losing Libya (which he refers to privately as the “shitshow”). “When I go back and I ask myself what went wrong, there’s room for criticism, because I had more faith in the Europeans, given Libya’s proximity, being invested in the follow-up.”—President Obama

Unfortunately, the real “shitshow” resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue – and Foggy Bottom.

My liberal brother this morning – “I just don’t see putting a Godless man in the White House as the answer. Trump is jealous of God. He has never once shared the stage with God in the last year. He has absolutely no Christian morals as any teenager can see. A godless white house would only embolden the terrorists; it is exactly what they want. I am reminded that those who would give up Christianity for freedom deserve neither.”
In reply I posted the above video with this comment – “I believe there is one thing we can all agree with the Muslim In Chief on – Bathtubs are not the Religion of Peace.”

I had to go wash my mind out before responding after all the demonic cursing. And this is our “leadership”? Cheese and crackers. Well, I’m counting the days until they are out of power, then I want this whole bunch arrested and in chains. They are all vile, disgusting, lying, corrupt, worthless traitors! Especially DingleBarry Obeyme. He is so evil. (I know, off subject, but I had to say it.) Thank you for keeping us informed. Have a blessed day.

{{{a long exasperated sigh}}} its because he is a muslim sympathizer. What’s next, going to try to ban trucks? I’ll tell you, the next 5 months or so are going to be rough…just saying…but, that’s ok, just make laws/rules and continue the silly sit ins about guns. I’m with Lt. Gen. Flynn, not sure if you saw his interview last night on Megan Kelly (ok, so we really like Flynn and that is why we were watching)—but he was royally ticked off and rightly so. He had the nerve to call it was it and tell it like it is and got fired for it. Obama can continue to hide under the rock all he wants; their here and waiting, just saying. Sticking ones head in the sand doesn’t make things go away.

I think we all feel this way. The carnage last night was extremely chilling.. No longer could he blame guns. Now any vehicle is a weapon. Some time if you can find it, read the whole miserable article and you will be taken aback. I can’t believe his poll numbers are at the highest. Good rant, Im with you

Reading comments at another website –
“You’ve all got it wrong. It’s simply a case of an individual with road rage.
The driver was being forced to deliver the guns that were in his truck, and that same driver knows that guns cause all the problems in the world.
Hence, rage. So, (and borrowing some thoughts from others) . . .
All trucks with large capacity gas tanks must be banned.
All trucks with automatic transmissions or that could be converted to automatic are banned.
All trucks that look “mean” are banned.
All truck drivers must undergo 30 hours of sensitivity training.
All truck drivers can no longer own fire arms.
Truck drivers must undergo an extended background investigation before they can get a license to drive a truck, commercial or private.
Truck drivers must undergo a security check before they buy fuel.
There, that should do it. Problem solved.
Exceptions will be freely granted to individuals who have recently completed United Nations vetting to come to this country.”
