Barack Obama: “We can absorb a terrorist attack.
ACE ^

Posted on 09/21/2010 9:38:48 PM PDT by roses of sharon

Barack Obama To Bob Woodward This Past July: "We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger."

From Woodward's new book, quoted in the Washington Post.

The treasonous bastard basically said he will not retaliate.

Yup, that's how I read it, too.

I really hope it doesn't happen, but I have a sinking feeling that something is going to happen before the 2012 election.

Obama's response will determine whether he get's re-elected (like Bush), or defeated (like Carter).

For the simple reason that he wouldn't want to 'lose the entire Democrat Party' over it. Plus he would also silently relish an attack on America. "The bastards got what they deserved."

Obama: “Look, America. It’s really no big f’ing deal if we get attacked again. I’ve put out my instructions to wait three hours and then notify me. We will recover better than ever, no matter our losses. It’s not a priority.”

He thinks we can absorb it, because he thinks we deserve it.

Well, the beltway may be able to absorb it.

But it would not surprise me one bit if there was another attack, that we wake up one day about a month after and by that time there are only half as many Muslims in America as before.

People are seriously getting fed up. Even some liberals I know. Over and over, we have given the muzzies a chance to join the western world and fit into our ideas and way of life. Over and over we hear and see the same thing - a total rejection of our ways, no respect for our legal/moral systems, stated and implied violent threats against their new host countries, demands for us to change to accommodate them combined with an absolute refusal to accept that we have a right to live our ways in our own country.

It’s close to the breaking point. And once again, they will try to play the racism card, even though for the reasons I stated this has NOTHING to do with racism.

Is this on the Drudge Report yet ?
Rush, Mark Levin, Sean Hanity need to hear and talk about this.
After hearing a President saying this, can we trust Obama and the Democrats with our National Security ?

(from a post on ACE, sounds like Batchelor is talking about this now)

Batchelor talking about this now. “One item that will be sure to be bouncing around the world is that harmid karzai is recorded as a manic/depressive” Batchelor is serious as a heart attack. “I have a lot of information, I do not use it until something gets published so I give you jones, national security advisor who is on his way out “has called the prez’s aides “the mafia”.”the politboro” “that’s a term I first saw to my info in the winter of 2009, that’s been used for some time from the intelligence side. All foreign policy decisions have been made in the oval office with a small group that’s why they are called “the politboro”.

Incredible, just unbelievable....

Yeah, and when the stupid liberals who voted for this guy wake up and say " how did we get to this point ? " ... and act as if they didn't know.
Makes you want to scream.

I am surprised to learn that Bob Woodward is a Republican. Why else would he drop this nuclear bomb before an election. It states what everyone has been saying. This guy is a shallow, not-ready-for-prime-time egotist with a pack of clueless dopes advising him. You cannot defend “absorbing a terrorist attack” in any fashion.
