Obama 'defending terrorists' in tirade on Trump
WND ^ | 6/14/2016 | Joe Kovacs

Posted on 06/16/2016 4:48:56 AM PDT by HomerBohn

Barack Obama is being blasted for comments on why he avoids using terms such as “radical Islamic terrorism,” with one prominent voice saying the president sounds like a defense lawyer for the attackers.

“There’s no magic to the phrase ‘radical Islam,'” the president said Tuesday during remarks at the Treasury Department. “It’s a political talking point, not a strategy.”

He continued: “What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?”

See President Obama’s comments:(at link)

In response, top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh said, “It sounds to me like it’s the way defense lawyers talk. You know, when there’s a suspect, you got a defense lawyer saying, ‘Well, there’s no conclusive evidence here.

-snip-

Obama’s remarks Tuesday also took aim at Donald Trump, who on Monday reiterated the need to temporarily ban Muslims from coming to America until a system is in place to properly screen the entrants.

See Donald Trump’s speech from Monday, June 13, 2016, that sparked Obama’s reaction:(At the link)

“We’re startin’ to see where this kind of rhetoric and loose talk and sloppiness about who exactly we’re fighting, where this can lead us,” Obama said of Trump.

-snip

Joining Limbaugh in his condemnation of Obama is former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, who is also a supporter of Trump.

Bolton called Obama’s speech a “failure of presidential leadership.”

“We get a lecture from one of the most narcissistic individuals ever to hold that job about what’s wrong with the rest of us who don’t have the tolerance that he does,” Bolton said.be a small man.”

Most likely because, no matter what, Trump is smarter, funnier, more successful, richer, definitely heterosexual, and he has personality. None of those things apply to the tnin-skinned, big-eared halfwit in the White Hut.

Putin also backed al Sisi when the Egyptian president vowed to rebuild the churches and Christian businesses destroyed by the Muslim savages.

Yup, the Egyptian military overthrew the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt then Zero (and Cruz) throw a sissy fit. It is as day as day that zero sides with the Islamists. He sided with them in Egypt, he sided with them in Libya and he is siding with them in Syria. And by siding I mean giving them (terrorists) money, training and arms.

“What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?”

Sounds an awful lot like "What difference does it make?" doesn't it?

If you've listened closely to the rhetoric on the left the past year or so you will hear this refrain "What difference does it make" in various forms over and over. I started noticing it about 6 months ago and went back to read other statements further back and kept hearing the same reasoning over and over.

It's so prevalent it should be Clinton's campaign motto.

When Obama said “What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?” it sounded an awful lot like Hillary's arrogant "What difference does it make?" to the Benghazi committee. The left's rhetoric the past year puppets the same refrain in various forms over and over. It's so prevalent it should be Clinton's campaign motto.

Excellent point....it all started here. Hillary and Obama's love fest on CBS'
60 Minutes w/ Steve Kroft. Slavish Democrats w/ military precision followed suit.

Obomba hustled Hillary on 60 Minutes to gaze in adoration, after Hill's arrogant
dismissal of the Benghazi massacre to Congress w/ her infamous, "What difference
does it make." I thought sure Obama was gonna give 'er a B/J on broadcast tv....
he was THAT grateful.

I was watching Fox for Obama's 3rd grade appeasement rant.

Loved what Bolton and the rest had to say immediately after....

Bolton talks a good talk; however, he’s a big-time New World Order type. He, and the rest of the NWO boys are totally against Britain, and others, moving out of the EU.

We know what the UK voters did was right, especially when Obama threatens them before the vote and casts aspersions afterwards.

Maybe so, but I still enjoyed hearing him nail Obama to the wall.......If I only listened to perfect people, I'd have to stick to reading about Jesus and ignoring everyone else.

“His shady deal to give Iran $150 billion is earmarked w/ a return on investment. Boobamba’s planning on getting a chunk of that, laundered through Muslim offshore accounts. “

Of course. One thing we know with ontological certainty is that Obama & Hillary care about nothing but themselves, and absolutely NOTHING is beneath them.

I see no difference. We control the House & Senate, and Obama gets 100% of everything he wants.

“There’s no magic to the phrase ‘radical Islam,'” the president said Tuesday during remarks at the Treasury Department. “It’s a political talking point, not a strategy.”

But there IS magic to the phrase 'extremist' because that allows laws made against radical muslims to be used against traditional Americans.
