From ACE:

They will spin this, but this is what Obama is getting at, what the left is constantly saying, but which leftist politicians are careful never to say publicly: for the good of relations with the Muslim world we're just going to have to be mature about mass murder.

DId the Americans that were murdered on that day “absorb” it? Their families?

Obama is an evil heartless SOB. Of course, the LSM will give him a free pass on this insensitive, inhuman really, comment.

From the article:

But the left is pushing this idea that we can safely "absorb" many new 9/11's with an eye towards getting us to "accept" the greater bargain they fatuously offer -- peace, and a general wind-down of post-9/11 security "overreactions" like the FBI tracking Muslims suspected of terrorist ties. If only we didn't overreact to the occasional mass-murder, we could go about our business without war, without increased security measures, without "Islamophobia," without the rest of it.

Are we prepared to be written off as collateral damage - perhaps in multiple locations? Does he intend to replace us with millions from south of the border?

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. These are the words of a coward, IMO.

Hussein Obassole’s goal is to transform America into some impoverished third world African nation, and then he can play Robert Mugabe.

We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger.

We didn't "absorb" it. We kicked the sh** out of the people that were responsible (in Afghanistan).

This sounds to me like Obama is trying to set up expectations for his response to a terrorist attack -- which will be "nothing", 'cause we can "absorb" it.

I guess with the new HealthCare, we should get used to tooth aches, and heart attacks.
