Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre

Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murderer in Orlando early Sunday morning. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.”

So I guess the president thinks Mateen didn’t mean it?

Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks.

He called it “terror,” which it is. But using the word “terror” without a limiting and defining adjective is like a doctor calling a disease “cancer” without making note of the affected area of the body — because if he doesn’t know where the cancer is and what form it takes, he cannot attack it effectively and seek to extirpate it.

So determined is the president to avoid the subject of Islamist, ISIS-inspired or ISIS-directed terrorism that he concluded his remarks with an astonishing insistence that “we need the strength and courage to change” our attitudes toward the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

That’s just disgusting. There’s no other word for it.

After next January 20th I hope that I never see the face, hear the name or hear the voice of this unmitigated socialist terrorist-sympathizer or his transvestite ‘partner’ again! I have truly grown to despise these two beyond words.

I hate what f....ts do. That’s why I dont go to their hangouts.

See how EASY that was?

I honestly have NEVER EVER had a desire to hurt them, and one sang Dancing Queen while doing pirouettes in the office!! I just said “what the ####” and the manager excused it.

No, obummer, you America hating piece of @#$@#$, killing gays is in what is essentially their constitution.

No life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness there.

“Obama: ‘We’ are to blame, not Islamic terrorism, for massacre”

Did he really say this? I read the article and couldn’t find the quote.

LOL! True true, BUT there was a few Freepers over the years who told me stuff like “Don’t be ridiculous” “Don’t go overboard”. I don’t hear that anymore, it’s pretty obvious. And Democraps put him into office, not once but twice AND during time of war.

Gee, if JPod supported Trump, maybe he’d have an outlet for all this laughable indignation...but, that’s not going to happen, because JPod is the king of the cucks...

It’s implied in the statement.

I will submit that Odungo’s inability to deal with the reality of this situation, and others like it, is grounds for impeachment. He is demonstrating his diminished capacity to deal with reality by not naming the enemy (Islam) and blaming guns as the culprit.

He must be removed from the office as soon as possible.

Give Obama a golf club and Biden a bottle of scotch and America will be safe from them for a day.

“It’s implied in the statement.”

As much as I hate the ****** in chief it is misleading and unethical to imply that the POS in chief said that when he clearly did not. If you think that’s what he meant then use the term “implies” in the headline. I am surprised that Podhoretz would do that.

President Obama’s speech, December 8, 1941:

“We still don’t know what their motivation was,

but we need to change our attitude towards ships.”

Islamic terrorism in this country is justified in his mind and he is importing more and more of these types into our country.

You are correct plus Islam as a "race" is securing its place in the world with a continued high population...born into Islam. Obama has increased the Muslim population in America by thousands of legal and illegal immigrants.

Do any of you remember how Bill Clinton encouraged the use of drugs by halting drug testing for White House staff in February of 1993? That raises questions about government in the drug trade....we really, really have a huge illicit drug problem in this nation...could open borders be complicit in that?

Interesting take on what happened....

Posted by a LGBT gun rights group on FB:

"The bodies haven't been fully tallied, so there's no need to even mention the amount injured or killed by this, but to say the least, it is an absolutely shockingly high amount. Our deepest sympathies go out to all those harmed by this attack, and if you've lost anyone in this horrific attack, we truly mourn your loss. All life is sacred.

Like many attacks, this one was preventable, but government interference made it difficult. The Pulse Club was an establishment that serves alcohol beverages to its customers, and as such, was governed by Florida's version of the notoriously failed 51% law -- the law that prevents even sober individuals from defending themselves in such gun-free zones as bars, clubs, and taverns. Any homosexual in that facility was sentenced to die by the state. When self-defense becomes a crime, tragedy is the only conclusion. In this scenario, the patrons of the club decided to be law-abiding, and unfortunately, that is seldom the safest route. The same cops who were bringing people out are the same individuals who were tasked with making sure they could not legally defend themselves.

This hurts this community greatly, but it isn't just our own that suffers. Attacks like this happen all around the world by ill-intended men and women alike. Attacks like this one won't stop happening until people can lawfully defend themselves. In addition to the attacker, the blood is on the hands of every state agent, at every level of government, who had something to do with this particular ban on self-defense. Terrible -- the lot of it."

If by “we” he means ‘his administration’, then he is correct.
