resident Obama mentioned in his farewell speech that no foreign terrorist organization has planned and executed an attack on the homeland.
Because of the extraordinary courage of our men and women in uniform, and the intelligence officers, law enforcement, and diplomats who support them, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland these past eight years
The president has been laying it on thick over the past week with this claim. On January 4, at Fort Myer in Arlington, President Obama addressed members of the military in a farewell ceremony, where he reiterated the claim that "no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland these past eight years."
Seriously? So, Fort Hood, Orlando, the Boston marathon bombing, San Bernardino, and Chattanooga were not terrorist attacks? Washington Examiner’s T. Becket Adams listed the attacks since the beginning of Obama's presidency:
The first such attack took place on June 1, 2009, when Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad shot and killed Army Pvt. William Andrew Long and injured Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula at a military recruiting station in Little Rock, Ark. The shooter claimed later that he acted as a member of al-Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula, which operates out of Yemen.
Later that same year, on Nov. 5, 2009, Major Nidal Malik Hasan went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood in Texas, murdering 14 people. Prior to the attack, Hasan was in contact with al-Qaeda's Anwar al-Awlaki.
On April 15, 2013, the radicalized Tamerlan and Dhozkar Tsarnaev, both of whom frequented a mosque with connections to al-Qaeda, detonated two bombs at the Boston Marathon, killing three and injuring more than 200.
One year later, on Oct. 23, 2014, Zale Thompson assaulted and injured two police officers in Queens, N.Y., with a hatchet. Though he was a so-called lone wolf, Thompson acted after he became self-radicalized through ISIS, al-Qaeda and al-Shabab literature.
On July 16, 2015, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez shot and killed four U.S. Marines and one sailor at a Navy reserve facility center in Chattanooga, Tenn. FBI Director James B. Comey said later that there was no doubt that Abdulazeez was, "motivated by foreign terrorist organization propaganda."
Later, on Dec. 14, 2015, Tashfeen Malik and her husband, Syed Farook, shot and killed 14 people at a Christmas party in San Bernardino, Calif. The shooting spree left an additional 22 people with injuries. The FBI reported the two shooters had been radicalized by Islamic terrorist organizations, though the bureau has not yet determined which group most inspired the attack. ISIS has described the two terrorists as "supporters."
The Washington Post’s fact checkers gave no rating for this claim. Why? Well, they say that the president chose his words carefully. By focusing on foreign terrorist organization, the White House can duck and cover, declaring the attacks above is the work of homegrown terror, not part of a planned effort, and fueled by self-radicalization by Islamic extremists. I think the American voter isn’t going to see the difference. With the Internet, pouring the toxic ideology of Islamic extremism to influence lone wolf attacks seems to be an outreach strategy that has yielded dividends for groups like the Islamic State. And it’s not just in the United States; ISIS has struck terror into the hearts of the France, Belgium, and Germany. Yes, it’s great that a 9/11-style attack hasn’t occurred again, but to say that foreign terrorists haven’t hit us since 9/11 is a bit of a stretch.
It's true. Barack Hussein made it easy for his heroes to come here, whether legally or illegally, so they could plan and execute their attacks on our homeland as domestic terrorist organizations. The drug-addled communist promised "change", and he delivered.
His lips were moving.
He was in full spewing-lies mode, last night.
Couldn’t even go out on an honest note.
#Shame

As Carol Burnet said in Friendly Fire, and as liberactionaries and regressives have been repeating every since:
“They’re all just as dead, aren’t they?”
Clintonesque word choice. A terrorist attack doesn't count unless it was planned outside the US. Inspiring Muslims already in the US to make their own plans, and carry them out, doesn't count. Neither does inserting radical clerics into the US to recruit and motivate terrorists count.
He said “plan and attack” with reference to terrorist “organizations.” These have specific meanings that he may define as deceptively as “transparent.”
Tell that to the 49 people killed at the Pulse night club in Orlando, FL last yeasr. That horrible massacre may have been a critical event in turning voters away from Hillary Clinton.
Of course his statement is a total lie.
That being said, I do believe alot of attacks were “postponed” due to the muzzies having one of their own in office. I am afraid, that once Obama leaves, the green light will again be given to the major terroist organizations to attack the US.
In most of these terror attacks, the culprits had either arrived in the US from islamic countries or recently visited one or more such countries before their atrocities.
We’ve never been told who they met with or what they did on those trips.

Home grown lone wolf.
In a way he is correct.
The Islamic terrorists, who have killed/maimed Americans since Emir Obozo was Potus, lived here in America. Some were citizens or had green cards.
See my tagline re terrorists in America.
>>Obama lied?
He’s been domesticating them.
So he probably rationalizes that it’s only a white lie.
Gorka ripped him and the hack defending Obama on the Money Honey’s show this AM.
Good eyes and catch.
assange made a point last year. Obama speaks like a lawyer. He will claim ISIS and Al Qaeda don’t PLAN the attacks, they ere the plan of those who carried it out. That doesn’t include those who were followers, were influenced by or other islamic fanatics. He doesn’t claim that.
He lies by spinning the words and how he couches the meaning of his message.
Yeah, right! Hey Obama, There has been AT LEAST ONE RADIAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST ATTACK IN THE UNITED STATES IN EACH AND EVERY YEAR OF THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY!!!!! This is a PROVEN FACT that cannot be disputed. Obama’s bovine scatology of calling it workplace violence and other non-terrorist attack is nothing but BS. Of course, when you have a DOD, DOJ and DHS, that removed any reference to radical Islamic terrorist attacks and in fact demanded that everyone that they cannot use that term as it is offensive to Muslims. If this ain’t true BS, I don’t know what is!
President 0, like so many of our _countrymen_ are enemies of the USConstitution. Enemies. Traitors. Well beyond lawless.
DELUSIONAL !!!
