President Barack Obama said Thursday that U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials have received no specific, credible information suggesting a potential terrorist attack against the United States. He said Americans must be vigilant this holiday season.

"We cannot give in to fear or change how we live our lives," Obama said in brief remarks to employees at the National Counterterrorism Center. "We will not be terrorized. We've prevailed over much greater threats than this; we will prevail again." ...

Based on Obama’s record in these pronouncements, don’t go anywhere tomorrow.

So what does that even mean? That the terrorists haven’t sent a letter detailing the time, date and place they intend starting shooting people and blowing stuff up?

***********************************

Heard someone talking (Catherine Herridge?) about the language used “no specific, credible information” & that’s pretty much exactly what it means .... no specific names/addresses for terrorists/targets. Gobbledygook to try to make us feel “better”. Since every word out of Omuslim’s mouth is a lie, I expect another attack any time, especially since the terrorists seem determined to prove him wrong every time he makes one of these pronouncements.

Yeah, this basically means...

...he has some threats that he doesn’t deem credible, which doesn’t make it the case and outside that, he’s no idea what is going on.

And also in the news today, there was this wonderful news item that with all the searching they have done, until the terror attack, the San Bernardino jihadis had never connected on social media with ISIS or anyone connected to it. Only just that one time when they pledged their allegiance to ISIS during the attack. That was it. WHEW, so no previous actual connection to other Islamic terror. All those victims can come back to life now and get out of those hospital beds. Whew.

THe last few times he has made some optimistic promise (ISIS is contained, no real threats) the terrorists have struck. Of course he is probably only speaking about possible threats to his vacation in Hawaii

go ahead and commit a crime

These are not crimes, they are acts of war.

Odds are about one in three that SOMETHING will be blown up, some person or group will be attacked or some damage will done to infrastructure or systems before the second week in January. The only question is will it be Islam, or will BLM & Co. beat them to it.

Precisely. He knows nothing. Or maybe his comment is a trigger to instigate the attacks

I really am terrified that there will be an attack. it’s almost too good for them to pass up.

There should be enough armed Patriots to take turns surveilling the venues, to hell with their "gun free" blather. The attackers MUST be met with force, and total surprise.

Terrorism, no. I’m afraid of workplace violence.

Which means we will be attacked.

And we better not say anything negative about Muslims after it.
