Rep. Blackburn: Obama's response to ISIS threat has emboldened terrorists, not stopped them
Fox News.com ^ | December 9, 2015 | Rep. Marsha Blackburn

Posted on 12/10/2015 5:05:26 PM PST by Kaslin

In the aftermath of the attacks carried out by radical Islamic extremists that killed and wounded hundreds in the streets of Paris, President Obama stood before the world to issue America's response. Instead of taking a hardline stand against violent acts of terrorism, the President appeared timid as he announced that the upcoming summit on climate change would be a strong "rebuke" to international terrorism. This statement, combined with his approach towards combating ISIS, show that President Obama holds misplaced priorities about the threats facing our country.

Then came the San Bernardino attack where 14 people were killed and 21 injured in the horrific mass shooting carried out last week by two radical terrorists. It took the president four days to respond and finally admit what most Americans already knew it was a terrorist attack.

Since the president addressed the nation, I've been reading e-mails and hearing from some of my constituents who believe that this president's response was tone-deaf. They view him as a fearful leader who is in denial about the threat terrorism poses to our country.

Americans want to see leadership that will communicate the message that we are going to find these terrorists, we're going to destroy them and we're going to destroy their networks. But that is not what the president has been saying.

The “US” Congress remains complicit this day
and this week in the endless treason of arming,
helping, and training al Qaeda and Iran to murder
Americans in the future.

COMPLICIT. 100%. Including the reprehensible,
deservedly-hated, EXEMPT, ever-lying scum known
as the conservative-backstabbing GOP.

Pretty. Most everyone here is just keeping their fingers crossed until Jan 2017 arrives. With a year+ to do more damage, it sure sounds like surrender to me.

Kill them.

Kill them all, wherever they're found, either here or in the middle east.

Force those who sympathize with them to identify themselves, as Donald Trump is doing, and give them the opportunity to go live somewhere else.

True. When Islam attacks he gets mad at guns and Americans. It makes hadji very happy.

I’m not sure where I saw this on TV, but evidently our gov’t wants to impress us by stating we’ve dropped over 20,000 bombs (or missiles, I’d guess) on ISIS, killing around 23,000 ISIS “fighters”.

Idiots.

Who thinks we can win, killing ISIS (in effect) one at a time with air strikes?

Basic psychology - if you reward bad behavior instead of punishing it, you breed more bad behavior.

We were "told" back in 2008 that Obama was a Halfrican, a Chicago community organizer of little note, a US senator for less than a year, with no legislative achievements to speak of.

His opponents, Hillary and Bill, had pics of Obama dressed as a Muslim.

Uncle Teddy went ballistic... ordered them not to use the Muslim pics.

Teddy and Caroline later endorsed the befuddled Obama---
showing what a great country we are by endorsing a black man.

O was packaged and sold like corn flakes. Anita Dunn, his PR person said they never answered media questions....only put out what THEY wanted people to know about him. To this day, he is still an unknown quantity.
