That headline is not a lie. The greatest orator since Abraham Lincoln had a serious policy discussion with . . . wait for it . . . Jay Leno. During that serious, I mean really serious, talk, Obama explicitly stated that it was unfortunate that Americans were less likely to die in a terrorist attack than in a car accident. Really:
POTUS said the U.S. was not overreacting.You and I both know that President Silvertongue was trying to say something along the lines of this: “The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident. While we’d like to see both types of statistics drop, it’s useful to put terrorism’s risk into perspective.”POTUS said people can still take vacation, just do so in a “prudent way” by checking on the State Department Websites for up-to-day information before making plans.
“The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident, unfortunately.”
But that’s not what Obama said. What he said is that it’s unfortunate that the average American faces a lower risk of dying at a terrorist’s hands than he does of dying in a car accident.
What’s really funny about all this is that Obama’s disastrous foreign policies are such that it’s entirely possible that he’ll ensure that, without the number of fatal car accidents decreasing, Americans really will end up dying in ever greater numbers at terrorist hands. Perhaps President Malaprop speaks the truth after all.
Nice try.
“so if a car bomb kills 35 people should that count as a terror attack or an auto accident”
Well, Ft. Hood was “workplace violence, so I’ll take “auto accident” for $500 Pat. Now can I have a spin?
do NOT forget to BOYCOTT THE TONIGHT SHOW TONIGHT!!

Oh hell no.
I’m watching this. It’s history in the making...a sitting CIC is verbalizing his wishes for bad things on Americans and you want me to turn the channel.
No way!
I saw the first chimp in space, JFK, Jack Ruby and Oswald, the hippies, the napalm, the riots, the marches, the Beatles, Elvis, the moon landing, the crash of Flight 100, the Twin Towers terrorist attacks, the invasion of Iraq and the first election of the first black muslim communist.
I’m in until the end!
“The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident, unfortunately.”
Well the Muslim POS will surely be getting out the prayer rug and saying a few prayers to allah to even up those odds.
As far as dying in a car crash, his EPA is raising CAFE standards thus forcing automakers to make cars out of tin foil and plastic.
Asked about Snowden he indicated that he didn't want to jump to any conclusions about what he was guilty of. ???? Unless you are a Zimmerman or a policeman that just arrested a black college professor, albiet justifiably.
Maybe he, Putin and Snowden will sit down and have a beer when he visits Russia for the G-8 conference.
BTW what the hell is he doing on Leno and not facing friendly fire from the main stream media?
There is no hyperbole sufficient to express the incompetence of this individual.
I must say the show was saved by the bell. Patty LaBelle, now there is real talent.
As JNap would say, “The System Worked!”
And Italy and Malta are now suffering for it. Lampadeusa (a small island in Italy off the coast of Tunisia) and Malta have been flooded with “asylum seekers” (aka 20-40 year old male Somalis and Eritrean economic invaders) who have turned these islands into a nightmare of violence against the small local populations that had virtually zero crime before and who are trying to get into the Schengen zone in Europe. Yet more “we have to kill Qaddafi before we can see what happens afterwards” that was totally predicted over 40 years ago by a Frenchman named Jean Raspail.
Have you seen “Six Degrees of Separation?” Obama is one the most competent con artists to have ever lived.
Just like the 57 states gaffe, that was written off as just a bit of tiredness during a strenuous campaign, this one will be written off as a slip of the tongue by an overworked executive, and proof that Obongo’s vacation on Martha’s Vineyard later this month is a necessity for the good of the nation.
My strategy is to change the channelany time President Urcle’s face appears on the screen.
If Sidney Poitier had a son he would have been just like Obama. Lucky man was blessed with 6 daughters.
