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.
so if a car bomb kills 35 people should that count as a terror attack or an auto accident
Workplace violence! /s

Impeachment File on Benghazi Coward “B. Hussein Obama,” formerly known as Barry Soetoro, currently a Legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
Until terrorists kill over 4,000 per month in this country, disband Homeland security!
Traffic accidents kill 40,000 a year and dockors kill 80,000 per year so terrorists are no big deal!
I’m not a beliver in safety.
All my 76 years i’ve done dangerous things when they saved time if I figured I had a 50% chance of survival.
I’ve been busted up a lot of times but am still alive with all my limbs.
The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident, unfortunately.
I think it would be workplace violence only if it was a foreign car.
Another humongous gaffe which the pinkos in media will ignore.
Obama explicitly stated that it was unfortunate that Americans were less likely to die in a terrorist attack than in a car accident
So that is his justification for having the NSA take away all privacy....
Obummer is a dangerous moron with a horrible puppet master (Jarrett)
Flying without a teleprompter, his true feeling are exposed.
Leno allows himself to become part of the problem. Useful idiot.
You are calling what has been understood to be a gaffe, his true feelings? Hyperbole.
Well, you are aware of the phenomenon called Freudian slip?
Doesn’t apply here.
How about the bible... out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks....
I just checked, my channel 4 is Azteca America. The Tonight Show is on my U-verse channel 1011 or channel 11 on the digital dinosaur public airwaves. It is very easy for me to boycott because I already did that several years ago.
Just before I shut the tube off, I watched a few minutes of "On The Beach (1959)" on channel 1116(MGM HD).
