You are missing something: There is no such thing as 'backfiring' for the shameless. Obama will smile at the rage he caused, and double down.
I would not AT ALL be surprised if he called for Crucifixions for known and discovered Christians.
Obama is in the service of Satan.
Laz,
I say it backfired on him because a lot of people are seeing his remarks as an irrelevant non sequitur that exposed the sordid depth of his misguided perceptions. It’s so obvious he was “reaching” in his lame attempt at moral equivalency by going back nearly 1,000 years ago and referring to events that are not remotely related to the ISIS problem. I think a lot of people can see that and wonder why he is making excuses for terrorists but at the same time is so anxious to find fault with this country. He probably thought he was being clever by equating ancient historical events to today’s problems but all it did was showcase his bitterness and biases. He overplayed his hand and has lost some chips IMO.
