President Obama’s unnerving happy talk
The Washington Post ^ | September 2, 2014, 3:41 PM | Dana Milbank

President Obama is not worried. And that is unnerving.

British Prime Minister David Cameron presented to parliament on Monday the alarming conclusions of European leaders who had met in Brussels over the weekend: “The European Council believes the creation of an Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria and the Islamist extremism and export of terrorism on which it is based is a direct threat to every European country.”

Cameron added: “To confront the threat of Islamist extremism, we need a tough, intelligent, patient and comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. We must use all the resources at our disposal, our aid, our diplomacy and our military.”

But three days earlier — the day Britain raised its terrorism threat level to “severe” — Obama delivered a very different message when he spoke to donors at a fundraiser in New York’s Westchester County. “Yes, the Middle East is challenging, but the truth is it’s been challenging for quite a while,” he said.

I happen to agree with you 100%

Obama is not presidential material and the job is way too big for him and his stupid minions.

At least he crawled out for a moment...can't believe this is from WaPo, and better late than never! Print edition, or just on-line?

Pinging to save and forward...some great lines about the importance of "social media" (like we wouldn't have known/cared about any of this stuff without Facebook/Twitter) and kudos to Milbank for writing this.

Because, darn it, the President needs to be called out and held accountable for these constant inane remarks even if he IS just trying to ramp up a crowd of Democrat donors.

Even more so, he needs to be called out and held accountable for his complete lack of leadership, and his apparent inability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, the country, or anything else.

The tan suit was perfectly fine with me for the end of summer, if a little casual...it's the beige brain wearing it that troubles me.

Is there not a single cretin left in the entire freakin' MSM with even a drop of honesty and patriotism left?!?!

What will they do to spin the next terror attack? Because it obviously won't be their Messiah's fault.

Count me in on your theory.

We are doomed if Democrats don’t remove him from office, and soon.

Biden looks pretty damn bad, an intellectual dwarf, IQ of 12 points, but he is not Muslim..., yet. I think he could be scolded or threatened into stopping the destruction, at least the current speedy pace of it, long enough to get a course charted away from the suicidal one Obama has us on.

Democrats had better get their pants on fire. In this case the enemy of America is NOT their friend, and neither is Obama.

Finally, FINALLY, maybe many are beginning to see this nobama for who he really is, who he is tearing down and who he is really supporting.

We shall see come November just how concerned and scared America is at our pending demise.
