I kept wondering before his chat, how many seconds would pass before he brought up the racial aspects of the victims - about 20 seconds. — why he always does this confounds me

I love that cartoon. Look at the “Day of Infamy” speech; 0bama could never give it. It’s not in him. Look at the orders issued from and to our commanding officers during the war.

“Execute unrestricted air and submarine war against Japan;” - Admiral Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, December 7, 1941.

“Task. You will enter the continent of Europe and, in conjunction with the other United Nations, undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed forces.” - Directive to Dwight Eisenhower upon appointment to Supreme Command of Allied Forces.

Very direct orders, not subject to a lot of wiggling. 0bama is not capable of giving them.

Actually, he said some very unusual words, for him... he actually said words like “radicalized Islam” and “terrorist attack”.

This scares me. Badly.

For them to start using these words means that they are out of spin, and what is coming will be so much worse that there is no way they can sugar-coat it.

So they are preparing us now.

Just imagine President Roosevelt shaming and condemning Americans for their outrage and anger by suggesting that Emperor Hirohito and his cabinet of imperial war lords don’t reflect the values of the vast majority of Japanese citizens, and that expressing such outrage and anger will only make them madder at us. Further still, imagine Roosevelt flinging open the borders and demanding that Americans be disarmed – particularly those on the West Coast. Utter madness.

Of all the fireside chats this was the only one taking place next to a dumpster fire.

He’s not one of us.

Boy do you ever have that right!!!

Many believe he IS A MUSLIM but even if he is not, THERE CAN BE NO DENYING THAT HE WAS BROUGHT UP A MUSLIM AND IS A MUSLIM SYMPATHIZER IN 2015!!

“”And what he is saying has become completely predictable.””

It’s the only thing he never lied about. He told us he was going to be transparent and he is...definitely!

He sent his media minions out on the Sunday talk shows to send up the trial balloons for what he was going to talk about, and the social media response was apparently rather negative and hostile. As a result, his speech was shortened and he left out a lot of things he had planned to say.

It gutted his planned speech, he went to party with the celebs and left us to watch the Steelers destroy the Colts.

It was a speech about nothing, and what's scary about this is the narcissist-in-chief isn't being worshiped as he would like. This will not sit well with the purple-lipped jug-eared thin-skinned effeminate little prick.

I was wondering about the podium in the oval orifice (with apologies to Rush) myself. It was noticeably different and strange compared to Odumbo’s past addresses (and those of earlier Presidents) when he sat at the desk...maybe that was the point? For most Americans, the OO desk is a symbol of the importance and gravity for the subject matter being presented...maybe, Odumbo was physically signaling to Americans or to his ISIS comrades that the topic is not important to him and he will remain soft on terrorism? Since he did not announce any significant changes to his approach to ISIS, it appears the most important thing to him in this speech was scolding Americans for their guns and for their bigotry against Islam!

I don’t think anything has happened recently in San Diego. The author must be under the misconception that San Bernardino is in the San Diego metropolitan area.

That cartoon is perfect. I hate that man with every fiber of my being for what he is doing to this country.

Exactly right. That’s a fact that many overlook.

“”While ignoring the fact that the San Diego terrorists were in unlawful possession of the rifles they used in their attack.””

“”The author repeatedly mentions San Diego...what happened there?””

Boy! Am I glad I’m not the only one who is perplexed by that. I know I’ve been avoiding the news but I do catch up occasionally and whatever it was sure slipped by me...

Yeah, how did him standing help his message of Kiss Muslim Ass No Matter What? I could have heard that crap from him sitting.
