Obama: Hey, Sorry I've Been Completely Out of Touch on This Terrorism Thing

Last week The New York Times caused controversy after deleting an entire section out of a story revealing President Obama wasn't aware of the growing terrorism concern in America because he wasn't watching enough cable television.

"In his meeting with the columnists, Mr. Obama indicated that he did not see enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and made clear that he plans to step up his public arguments."

Before taking off for a two week vacation in Hawaii, Obama admitted in the same meeting with columnists to being slow to respond to the terrorism threat and worries of Americans here at home.

But Mr. Obama said he now realizes that he was slow to respond to public fears after terrorist attacks in Paris and California, acknowledging that his low-key approach led Americans to worry that he was not doing enough to keep the country safe. He has engaged in a blitz of public events lately to try to convince them otherwise, including a visit on Thursday to the National Counterterrorism Center.

Meanwhile, terrorism is the number one concern of Americans according to polling from a variety of sources.

When you see what a lie can do and the mechanisms behind a lie you really understand why God hates liars.

Nope...he will never go away. He will constantly be on TV giving his 2 cents on any issue of his. They will make sure and re-write history in his favor.

You see, it was suppose to be a "Private", "Off The Record" meeting with journalist so Obama could issue up to date Talking Points.

Looks like somebody didn't follow the rules. hehe

OBAMA: ...And as a consequence, if you’ve been watching television for the last month, all you have been seeing, all you have been hearing about is these guys with masks or black flags who are potentially coming to get you.

Wow, he really expects us to believe him? Not all of us are snoozing past that three am call. And then he wonders why Americans can’t arm themselves fast enough?

If there’s such a thing as criminal incompetence then Obama is guilty in spades.

I thought one of Obama’s big selling points to youth and even older LIV’s was that he was so cool and knowledgeable. That is not the same as out of touch in my book.

Because Sociopaths cannot empathize with Human suffering

#3) Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others. This is why you will find many very “successful” sociopaths in high levels of government, in any nation.
