Obama: 'The World Has Never Been Less Violent'
pjmedia.com ^ | 7/22/2016 | Debra Heine

Whenever President Obama feels defensive, he likes to talk about how the world has become more safe under his watch (with the implication that it's due to his own wise leadership).

We first heard him speak that way during the summer of 2014, when the world seemed to be unraveling and critics were blaming him for the sad state of affairs.

Obama said, "The world is less violent than it has ever been. It is healthier than it has ever been. It is more tolerant than it has ever been. It is better fed then it’s ever been. It is more educated than it’s ever been."

Globalist par excellence Bill Clinton said in his 1999 SOTU address:

My fellow Americans, this is our moment. Let us lift our eyes as one nation, and from the mountaintop of this American century, look ahead to the next one....

Oh, By the way, are there any homeless people in Obung-hole's America? There shouldn't be one, if anyone listened to or believed Hopey 'D Clown's campaign rhetoric.

Don't worry about the homeless.

They will magically re-appear on January 20th at 12:01 PM.

Stupid rats. They let Trump grab the Law and Order candidacy and now there left foolishly defending this Everything Is Awesome stupidity.

Yes President O’scumbag, imagine how less violent it will be when your muslim buddies have killed everyone whose is not muslim.

(Of course then they will start killing each other, but I digress).

The headline is probably factually correct.


Have to agree....considering world history, we are living in an unprecedented era of relative peace.

What Obama didn't say was that he has had nothing to do with it, and in fact his foreign policy has been reversing the trend that existed prior to his administration.

You’ll notice that Obama never shows his ass in public without an army of security guards, a bomb-proof and bullet-proof car, or AF1 escorted by fighter jets.

Why do you think he just vetoed the “ex-presidents benefits bill”? He’s not about to leave the white hut without SS protection.

Like Cruz, Obama has set in place what the rest of his life will be about.

Well we have a lot more dead people since he wandered into the White House.

Dead People tend to be less violent and a lot more quiet except on Election Days.

Likely is less violent, but all the violence now comes from one easily identfiable source.

"Would you trust a race bating narcissist who says the world has never been less violent "

Of course not.

But his observation of a fact does not make it less of a fact, just suspect until otherwise verified.

Is it just me, or does it seem like there is a Muslim terrorist attack about once a week now, somewhere in the world???

It's just you. In fact, there is a Mudslime attack a few times a day now, spread around the world, for the last week, the last fortnight, the last month, the last year, the last decade, the last century, and the last millenia.

For further info, see the Religion of Peace.

I think Obama wasn’t lying when he said he never watches the news.

That reminds me of when Marion Barry claimed that Washington DC’s ctime rate wasn’t so bad “except for the murders.”
