Obama: Press overstates the threat of terrorism compared to climate change
American Thinker ^ | 2/9/15 | Rick Moran

Posted on 02/10/2015 10:25:31 AM PST by BlatherNaut

President Obama sat down with a friendly interviewer and made some rather startling comments about terrorism.

Speaking to Vox executive editor and one of his biggest cheerleaders, Matthew Yglesias, the president made clear that he doesn't think terrorism is much of a threat compared to other issues like poverty or global warming.

Washington Free Beacon:

Executive editor Matthew Yglesias asked the president whether he believes the media overstates the threat of terror in comparison to other issues, like climate change.

President Obama said he could not blame the media for the hype because it brings in viewers. He went on to say that the average American viewer does not care about stories about poverty rates or global climate change.

In an effort to protect the American people, the reaction to terrorism has to be like a big city mayor handles crime.

The guy's right. We've had over 6' of snow here in Boston this winter. Mass transit is shut down. There's no on-street parking in the city. And we'll soon set the annual snowfall record.

Sure could use some global warming, though.

I suppose of you were siding with the terrorists, you would hope the media would ignore terrorism and focus on the global warming hoax.

I point out on this site recently that we can expect his utterances to grow increasingly incoherent.

Yes.

The visiting nurse can’t even get to my elderly mom because there is no place for her to put her car.

Most snow in Boston since they have been keeping records.

Islam is a war plan disguised as a religion to give it an edge against naive suckers.

Those children in Syria and Iraq won’t have to grow up in a global warming climate change dystopia. They are having their heads removed and being buried alive.
