To infer he was implying "he needs to be more sensitive to terrorism" is misleading

We have to infer something about these comments, and its giving the president the benefit of the doubt that he his really serious and wants to be tough about national security, yet doesn’t want to actually say it, because that is how it comes across.

Plus if anyone who has paid attention knows he is not series about protecting our borders, and many already have given him the benefit of the doubt to date that he really was serious about security, but his border stance was just an anomaly.

But it cant be both ways, a person cant be tough about terrorism abroad in the interest of national security and then fail to protect our own borders.

Even before the president made these touchy feely comments, nobody has to infer anything about the presidents lack of concern about terrorists at home such as Mexican mafia, MS -13 gangs. He has not been serious about those breaking into our country using fake identities which is a felony, he doesn't seem to be concerned that the insurgent marches in our own streets many are being encouraged by Venezuela, Cuba and Marxists, whom have announced to be partners with Iran, and praised Al Qaeda. "

So a lot of us have thought the president has backpedaled on his views about terrorism, even before these remarks ever since 9/11 commission recommended that our borders were a problem for example, yet nothing was done in terms of enforcement, and nothing is planned but lip service and facades.

It cant be both was, these words and the presents failure to implement security reform as recommended by the 9/11 commission and by the way promised to us that the border enforcement was going to be handled separately in bill this year. This is a 180 degree reversal from the words the president gave the American public about protecting our country from terrorism abroad so we don’t have to do it here on our own soil.

Well with 100 million new immigrants open borders, and looking the other way at fraudulent background checks, guess what? We will be fighting on our own spoil, there will be nothing to protect the American people from floods of insurgents on our own soil, and this is what can be inferred from his comments and policies.

I believe immigration is an important issue but, not everything is necessarily about immigration. I don't think last night's press conference was about anything other than Iraq. Somebody (Tony Snow I suspect) has said to the President what you say is not nearly as important as what you do. So, last night I heard the President gently say I don't regret any of the hard choices that I made. But, I may regret my language in talking about those choices.
It makes me angry to see the President's fair weather friends abandoning him now. Some of his loudest supporters have conveniently joined the new parade to become his loudest critics. It is easy to be against him, it takes a lot more guts to hang in there when the slogging becomes tough.
