It's getting hard not to think that Obama has taken complete leave of his senses.
During his Vox fellating interview Barack Obama said something that glaringly departed from reality. He called the shootings in the Paris kosher deli "random."
President Barack Obama has called the terror attack on Jews in a kosher supermarket in Paris last month an act of random violence, rather than a terror attack or an antisemitic attack.Obama’s remark appears in an interview with Matt Yglesias of Vox.com. The president calls the attackers “violent, vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.” He glides past the religion of the attackers or the victims in an attack that claimed four innocent lives.
The fact that there was a connection between the kosher deli shooter and the Charlie Hebdo killers means nothing to Obama:
On Friday, Prime Minister Manuel Valls told reporters that the incidents were connected and that the shooter had communicated with the Kouachi brothers — suggesting that Wednesday’s attack might be part of a bigger plan. “The latest advances in the investigation allows us to establish a connection” between the two incidents, Valls said on Friday afternoon, while he was meeting the grief-sticken staff members of Charlie Hebdo, at the offices of the French daily newspaper Libération.
Yet Obama tells his bootlicker Matt Yglesias that the deli shooting is simply "random" and Yglesias just swallows. It's not "random." That deli was targeted.
Then Obama makes the stupefying assertion Iran won't develop a nuclear weapon because it's - get this- not Islamic.
We are presenting to them in a unified fashion, the P5+1 supported by a coalition of countries around the world are presenting to them a deal that allows them to have peaceful nuclear power but gives us the absolute assurance that is verifiable that they are not pursuing a nuclear weapon.And if in fact what they claim is true, which is they have no aspiration to get a nuclear weapon, that in fact, according to their Supreme Leader, it would be contrary to their faith to obtain a nuclear weapon, if that is true, there should be the possibility of getting a deal.
Firstly, someone needs to inform the king that Pakistan has nuclear weapons.
Secondly, let's crank up the Wayback Machine and see what Iran (Yes, Barack, THAT Iran) said back in 2012:
Official Iranian media outlets published a commentary Sunday titled “The necessity for the Islamic world to have the atomic bomb,” laying the groundwork for Iran’s refusal to accept limits on its illicit nuclear program.The essay’s author, Alireza Forghani, is the former governor of southern Iran’s Kish Province and an analyst and a strategy specialist in the camp of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“The fatwa from Imam Khomeini [the founder of Iran's Islamic revolution] said ‘all Islamic countries have Islamic blood,’” Forghani wrote. “Therefore the Islamic world should rise up and shout that a nuclear bomb is our right, and disrupt the dreams of America and Israel.
Having a nuclear bomb is our right,” he argued.
The guys at the Conservative Treehouse have a nice timeline of Obama's "evolution" on Iran getting nuclear weapons.
Perhaps Obama feels he can deflect concern over Iran's nuclear weapon ambitions by whipping out the shield of Islam, as he does with every Islamic terror incident.
In the Vox interview Obama asserts that the threat of ISIS is overstated:

Obama is a despotic, little, Muslim pig who hates Jews, Israel, Christians and America. Why wouldn’t he want unlimited power over his enemies, and faux enemies, whatever it takes to force his will on the world?
To topple more countries in the me and Africa and fulfill the Globalist plan to radicalize the me.
Because Obama has never been a 'major league' President, rather he's only ever been a 'JV' President, and he thinks that he should be fighting against another JV team.
Exactly.
I don't see the point in the GOP in congress voting on this, or even debating it.
Obama is Commander-in-chief and already made clear that he doesn't need congressional approval. Why should the GOP take some responsibility from him in this mess when Obama will do what he wants anyway?
” Obama will do what he wants anyway? “
Why not? The GOP won’t stop him.
Recall GWB making signing statements modifying laws sent to him and Dems griping about it.
But Pelosi was smart enough to not tolerate Dems who demanded government shutdowns or impeachment to force Bush to back off, which she knew wouldn't work.
Instead she played it smart and got Obamacare passed two years later.
Same thing with Iraq surge.
” Recall GWB making signing statements modifying laws sent to him and Dems griping about it.”
I’m trying very hard to forget the chuckle head. These days, he mostly hangs with Clinton, and once in a while, Obama.
