Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Tuesday unleashed a blistering verbal assault on Donald Trump and his proposal for a ban on Muslims entering the country, saying the suggestion violates the principles of American democracy and dismissing the "yapping" from "politicians who tweet."
Obama also angrily pushed back against criticism for not using the term "radical Islamic terrorism," calling it "loose talk."
"What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?" Obama asked during remarks at the Treasury Department. "Would it make ISIL less committed to try and kill Americans?" he continued, using a different acronym for ISIS.

Because saying ISIS recognizes them in Iraq & Syria.
Saying ISIL recognizes them in Irag and The Levant, an area which includes the entirety of Israel
There used to be one other place you could hear the term ISIL being used. That was the al-Jazeera network.
WWII-”The Eight Air Force is pissing off the Nazis with all of this daylight bombing. It has to stop.”
Whiner in chief is even alienating the media....LOL
Don’t worry, it’s temporary, the media will get over it.
Everyone in the Mooselimb Brotherhood says ISIL. Hope that doesn’t upset Ryan.
Pray America wakes
yes, he and all of his admin. must be watched relentlessly these next 7 months..... they will be desperate to expand their “legacy” and infiltrate more of American govt. for the future.... he will try to leave as many permanent changes and “poison pills” in the bureaucracies as possible, including political appointees slipped into permanent civil service jobs....
anyone here on Twitter? get this to Trump for re-tweets!
It would show that you are not evading reality and cause and effect
One can call radical Islamic terrorism “radical Islamic terrorism” and if you do that, you will encourage people who see evidence of radical Islamic terrorism to do something about it.
OR
You can call radical Islamic terrorism “workplace violence” or the “act of an isolated sick individual” and caution people against implicating Islamist doctrine, and the results are as follows:
SAN BERNADINO:
“Read the last paragraphs of this CBS Los Angeles report about the police raid on Syed Farook’s home: A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people. “We sat around lunch thinking, ‘What were they doing around the neighborhood?’” he said. “We’d see them leave where they’re raiding the apartment.””

FORT HOOD:
According to Ms. Rossmiller, the doctrine of “political correctness” hindered the American army from taking action against Major Hasan, even though the signs of his radicalization were apparent as far back as Spring 2008, when questions were raised about Hasan’s mental health. One official expressed concern that Hasan would leak information to Islamic terrorists if deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan; another feared that Hasan would kill his fellow servicemen while on duty. Even the FBI was aware of Hasan’s open expression of jihadist sentiments, and many reports were compiled on his behavior. Nonetheless, his supervising officials made no attempt to launch an official inquiry out of fear that such actions would be regarded as “religious discrimination.”

ORLANDO:
The FBI placed Orlando shooter Omar Mateen, 29, on its terrorist watch list in 2013 after co-workers reported that he had made “inflammatory comments” they felt showed his sympathies for terrorist groups.
When agents questioned him, they determined that Mateen “had not broken any laws,” and closed the investigation. In Obama’s America, it’s not illegal to declare your sympathies for radical Islamic terrorist groups - even repeatedly and vehemently, as Mateen’s co-workers claim was the case - because radical Islamic terrorism doesn’t exist. So the FBI took him off the watchlist.
That, Mr. B. O., is why you use the term “radical Islamic terrorism”: to encourage people who recognize the signs of it to do something about it, and in so doing save the lives of people in San Bernadino, Fort Hood, and Orlando.
It seems as though American media bent over backwards complementing the homicidal maniacs for their “sophistication”, “brilliance”, and good planning. Furthermore, this propagandistic Stockholm syndrome on the part of the places WE GET OUR NEWS does not seem to have been the idea of the talking heads in question. A) It has been seriously over-the-top, B) I remember Shep Smith reading such a thing on air before slamming down the papers from which he was reading, and glaring at them without further comment.
The president is concerned about Muslims growing resentful, but the problem is that society under his watch has grown increasingly invasive, preachy, and up everyone’s ass! Of course domestic Muslims are growing more resentful. Lots of people are growing increasingly resentful, frightened, concerned, pretty much pick a negative frame of mind and it seems like there’s more of it around.
It’s time to stop using mass media for propaganda, regardless of how “well-intentioned” and for those who still have jobs to do them, that way we might actually get more of them (jobs, I mean)!
he won’t need to; the new mosque they’re building in Chicago, aka the Obama Library, will be where he can give his sermons.
What would calling it Radical Islam accomplish?
Okay, let’s sit back and see if the George Wills, and the Charles K’s, and the rest will respond to this idiot.
Once he leaves office, we will learn of the man’s gross incompetence. Every day in the WH I’m sure is con jive moment. Every meeting is a double talk, okie doke.
Until he leaves we can only imagine.
And now he asks the question back to the press, and they sit there like zombies unable to speak?
You call it for what it is, Man. It’s the followers of Allah practicing Islam. Their form of it.
Keep your head in you butt.
The really brilliant Trump move here is taking hitlery out of the conversation; go sit in a corner Hillary!
Obama took the bait like a big mouth bass.
Not only that but he's been coddled by the DC/PC PressCorps and the GOPe for so long he's not ready for the can of whoop ass that's about to open on his @ss.
I bet he does, before January 2017.
I don't 'tweet', but this is rich from the king of narcissistic selfies. (I don't selfie either.)
You can’t just spend oodles of time “validating” terrorists and telling them how big, strong, smart, and brilliant they are without before too long finding that they will come to expect that sort of thing and will grow resentful when it isn’t forthcoming.
LOL, you are so right, it's too funny. Trump could say that Obama is a sissy if he doesn't go on TV and dance around in Pink tights, a day or two later Obama will be on TV dancing in Pink tights.
I just hate it when they say “We can’t demonize a whole religion for what a few people do”. Makes my head explode!
If Obama had a son...
ISIL includes Israel.
Yes, it stands for “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant”
The Levant is the land that GOD ALMIGHTY promised Abraham, from the River Nile in Egypt to the River Euphrates in Iraq.
Which Israel will have when the LORD comes back and rules.
