President Obama’s farewell speech transcript, annotated
Washington Post ^ | Jan 10, 2017 | Barack Obama

Posted on 01/10/2017 9:46:09 PM PST by MarvinStinson

Because of the extraordinary courage of our men and women in uniform. Because of our intelligence officers and law enforcement and diplomats who support our troops. no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland these past eight years.

And although Boston and Orlando and San Bernardino and Fort Hood remind us of how dangerous radicalization can be, our law enforcement agencies are more effective and vigilant than ever. We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists, including Bin Laden.

The global coalition we're leading against ISIL has taken out their leaders and taken away about half their territory. ISIL will be destroyed. And no one who threatens America will ever be safe.

And all who serve or have served -- it has been the honor of my lifetime to be your commander-in-chief.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

All I can say about Fort Hood is, “Don’t jump to conclusions.”

Rather than denouncing acts of terrorism, just one day after recent tragic events in San Bernardino, Attorney General Loretta Lynch told a group assembled for the Muslim Advocates dinner that the Justice Department is prepared to take “aggressive action” against people employing anti-Muslim rhetoric that “edges towards violence.”

In effect, she’s saying she would use prosecution as a weapon to protect Muslims from others employing their First Amendment rights.

I hope he knows he was talking about himself.

Yep - it’s his persistent M.O. It’s why I listen to virtually nothing he says.

I thought this was pretty bad:

“If every economic issue is framed as a struggle between a hardworking white middle class and an undeserving minority, then workers of all shades are going to be left fighting for scraps while the wealthy withdraw further into their private enclaves.”

Barack Hussein’s friends have not had to launch a foreign-based attack on our homeland these past eight years. Lax immigration policies have let in hundreds of thousands of legal and illegal alien invaders who hate us and hate our way of life. Some of them are good people - as long as 100% of us follow all their rules - but many will commit mass murder simply for recreation. We even know who some of the future terrorists are: Russia, Pakistan, and other foreign countries warned us about the Boston Marathon attacker and several others. Thank God we only have nine days left in this national nightmare.

This statement contradicts the charge that the Russians successfully planned and executed an attack on our election system.
