Trying to reassure a nation on edge, President Barack Obama said Sunday the Islamic State group "cannot strike a mortal blow" against the U.S., and he warned that overreacting to the Paris attacks would play into extremists' hands. "We will destroy this terrorist organization," he vowed.

Ending a trip to Asia, Obama implored Americans not to let the specter of terror cause them to compromise their values or change the way they live. [...]

Since IS militants killed 130 in France nine days ago, Obama's strategy has come under repeated questioning. ...

But over reacting to a mass shooting, that’s another story.

Right - we must concentrate on Christian businesses that refuse service to the GAYSTAPO crowd, or, global warming. Whichever is the most convenient ruse to use at the time.

I wonder at what point will this clown think our reaction is justified? 1000 dead?

4000?

10,000?

When he said "this terrorist organization" he really meant "The United States of America".

Is it possible to overreact to ISIS?

Nothing short of annihilation is the barely acceptable minimum reaction.

These thugs would be on death row anywhere else in the world. Since they are intent on walking in the path of Allah, their meeting should be arranged with all possible alacrity.

If ISIS has no soldiers, they have no citizens, and the whole idea of a caliphate becomes an abstraction.

Will someone come by and machine gun us if we overreact? That would be....bad, I think the word is.

"We will destroy this terrorist organization"

Seriously folks, this man is an Islamic success story - for them, not the Christian world.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

Do your part to educate others about this evil cult that is Islam which seeks to rule this world. They've overplayed their hand somewhat. Now it the time to let the world know all about their hidden agenda!

Warnings about over reaction to terrorist attacks is a standard tool used to allow terrorists to get away with their terror attacks without fear of reprisals or capture.

It's been honed to perfection as a weapon against Israel to protect Palestinian terrorists and now Obama is importing this tactic to America at the same time he is importing from Syria the terrorists who take advantage of this tactic.

When Obama says over react, what he really means is he will let the terrorist's attack and he will have have no reaction to the attacks whatsoever and that we should consider his passive acceptance of the attacks a good thing that shows our moral superiority and buys good will with the Jihadi

“It is not conceivable that Mr. Assad can regain legitimacy in a country in which a large majority of that country despises Assad, and will not stop fighting so long as he's in power.”

Yet Obama remains in power ...

American Values:

Naivete. Cultural ignorance. Lack of interest in threats until too late. Asleep At The Switch. Political Correctness. Excessive Goodwill to Evil Doers. Incompetence of Politicians.

Pearl Harbor. 9-11. USS Cole Bombing. Hurricane Katrina. Beirut Barracks Bombing. Boston Marathon Bombing.

Cluster f'ing when it is too late.

Yes, Obama, these are the cultural values of America in our national characteristic we should not shed and hold tightly to. After all, "reading the leaves", "vigilance" and "savvy" are way overrated.

He could care less

Which begs the question why does he care so much about Syrian refugees. He keeps Christians out who are the real persecuted. He plays golf or shoots hoops while ISIS chops off Christian's heads. Why does he suddenly care?

I am more concerned about under reaction.

It is so tough to wrap my head a round the in inescapable fact that Obama wants ISIS solders here attacking Americans.

Its time for all of us who could not bring ourselves to admit it Obama is a muslim and an enemy of all Americans because... well he is a muslim and he detests the USA.

To those moderate muslims who do exist, they live next to the unicorn farm you know, if you are in a western country you might want to start thinking of conversion.

The word Crusade is about to become fashionable again and rightly so.

I apologize to those of you who said Obama a muslim from the beginning you are and were right. You are probably right about the birth certificate too.

Folks we got to start getting better at winning the non-political low information crowd, to dangerous not to try.

We can not have another Manchurian President like Obama

Over react? No, we should under react - like they did for St. Skittles and The Gentle Giant.

Sadly, there are plenty of real idiots who still believe every lie he mutters.
