President Barack Obama used the last national security speech of his tenure to review his legacy, specifically the claim that he prevented terrorists from planning and executing an attack on U.S. soil.
“Over last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland,” said Obama, while speaking to troops at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Fla.

Their plan was dozens of one man terrorist attacks around the country. It has been and continues to be successfully executed.

OH WAIT!
I see what he’s doing.
“Over last eight years, no ***foreign*** terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland,”
He’s RIGHT, because the minute they set foot on American soil, they would no longer be foreign!
The terrorists change tactics and that gives the Left a new reason to tell old lies.
You can look at it this way: America has been stupidly fighting the last war over and over for the last decade, when there is a new war with new tactics and new weapons. We are a very inflexible behemoth...have been anyway...where we don’t even recognize (mostly for political reasons, political wars are the war we WANT to fight, even if they aren’t real) that our enemies have the ability and capability to mold their tactics to defeat our very Maginot Line Thinking. We have trouble even recognizing terrorism when it strikes because we have such deep mental sclerosis. We create a checklist for terrorism and if something is slightly different, so that a set check box can’t be checked, then we act confused and think it some other kind of “crime” we are dealing with.
The problem has been our own stupidity and rigidity of thinking. That is coming to an end, thankfully.
Leaving 106 dead Americans and many more wounded.
What’s one more lie, at this point?
FU too Barry.

Both DELUSIONAL and a LIAR.
He, as its vanguard, has been the most destructive part of the massive Moslem terrorist invasion of ,and assault on, America.
Simple: Barack Hussein Soetoro Soebarkah 0dinga Whatever 0bama is a serial, compulsive, pathological liar. He lies all the time, about everything, even when he doesn’t “need” to.
The guy has serious issues with reality doesn’t he?
Fake President.
If he had an (R) after his name the media would be attacking him for his delusions calling for a pysciatric exam.
It’s all “nuance” and semantics. He’s technically correct, in that ISIS proper, or Al Qaeda, or the Taliban, have not themselves planned and carried out any attacks. But this is only because none of those groups is in reality very large. They all, however, have legions of followers who are not explicitly part of the actual group, and do not receive direct orders from anyone in those groups, but still carry out the will of those groups.
This is also, as far as I can tell, part of explicit policy promulgated from the Obongo administration to all federal agencies, and hence down to state and local LEAs: That Radical Islam *cannot* be used as a possible motivation for an attack, so any attack must be the result of some other cause.
As it always is with leftists, they have to lie in order to maintain power. If they ever told the truth about their policies, either in their actual intentions or the results, they’d never be allowed near the government ever again. In this case, they have to disguise the impact of radical islam on the US, because that impact is directly attributable to outcomes from their own policies. As long as the followers of those RI groups are defined as isolated attackers, even if this is a paper-thin disguise, the left can pretend that they are not failures and not responsible for the deaths they’re causing.
Over time, I’ve developed the theory that leftists in general are not as emotionally mature as those on the right, and at some internal level cannot truly handle personal responsibility. Therefore, leftists are driven to support a huge, parental government that makes their decisions for them, and serves as a responsibility sink, bearing the blame for any leftist failures without implicating anyone and always in need of more resources to prevent the next failure.
That’s the new MO. Lone wolf on the surface but dig deeper and it’s not so line anymore.
I have seen the parties described as the mommy party and the daddy party. Says it all.
