Obama Says U.S. Can 'Absorb Terror Attacks'
Publius Forum ^ | 09/22/10 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 09/22/2010 9:26:01 AM PDT by Mobile Vulgus

Eh, don't worry, America. If there is another 9/11-like terror attack, The One says that we can "absorb it" and just become "stronger" because of it. It's as if he wants it to happen, or something!

In his latest book, Bob Woodward encountered a President Obama that seemed to casually blow off worry of another terror attack. The Washington Post gave us a sneak preview of Woodward's newest tome where Obama acted so flippantly toward another 9/11. (my bold)

Woodward's book portrays Obama and the White House as barraged by warnings about the threat of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil and confronted with the difficulty in preventing them. During an interview with Woodward in July, the president said, "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."
If we are "stronger," and that is entirely debatable, it certainly isn't because of anything the Obama administration has done.

In fact Obama has done his level best to make us more vulnerable. From reducing the threat status, to eliminating intelligence programs that were getting results, to simply sending drones to wipe out terrorists (that then take any actionable intelligence to the gave), even to making a mockery of our strength by using childish euphemisms such as "overseas contingency operations," Obama has taken America off its security footings...

This nightmare can’t end soon enough.

You know, I knew this regime would be bad, but I really didn't think it would be this bad.

He’s absolutely right.
We’ll absorb the radiation from a dirty bomb as our troops in the Mideast will absorb radiation from an Iranian nuke ,
while he’s cowering in the bunker.
Only none of us will be able to move on.
This cavalier and bizarre attitude is another indication that Barry is seriously ill and a threat to our national security.

Wait till they bomb Washington, D.C. That might get his attention. Unless he’s really concentrating on a putt.

Why should we “absorb” a terrorist attack when we can turn their sponsoring countries and sanctuaries into glowing radioactive ruins?

Apparently der Fuhrer Baraq Hussein 0bama (aka Barry Soetoro) has decided that dead Americans are acceptable collateral damage to advance his muslim marxist regime agenda.

***It’s really quite an outrageous thing to say.

Just goes to show how cold and detached he is.***

He can afford to be cold and detached because:

1. The Muzzies won’t attack the W.H. while he’s in it.

2. And he has a very, very deep security area under the W. H.

3. They’ll let him know where not to be when they plan to strike.

Obama has no respect for life what-so-ever. He considers the following deaths to be acceptable:

- murdered pre-born Americans,
- neglected newly-born Americans that were supposed have been murdered,
- withholding life-saving medical care from the elderly Americans who are deemed “not worth it”,
- Americans murdered by Muslim extremists

We can most easily "absorb" it and be considerably stronger if it takes out him and his administration...especially his czars. Of course that sort of cynical expression of free speech has not been permissible since the end of the "previous administration", when it could be seen all over the Internet and on signs at protests. I expect it will quickly be censored here by the moderator to avoid potential criticism from liberals who devote their lives to attacking everyone who disagrees with them. Just like the Muslims are doing, Liberals are having success at getting their way by defining "hate speech" as anything they don't want to hear and attacking those who dare cross their always-moving line in the sand. I increasingly see, through locked threads and removed comments, the success of their tactics here on FR in ways I'd never have thought I'd see a few years ago.

Well put.

Please don’t say that. There are a lot of FReepers that have to work in this cesspool of liberalism.

If they’re “locked threads” and “removed comments” how do you know what they said?

Didn’t say I wanted them to. I don’t. But I don’t think Obama would give a damn if we got attacked unless it nearly came down on his head.

He'll conveniently be far away from that site if it happens there. Remember, he's in cahoots with the rest of the enemy and knows when and where the attack(s) will happen.

The USA deserves terrorist attacks because of all the world hardship caused by US Imperialism. The left actually believe this and I hear it from them everyday.

These people are at best subversives and at worst outright traitors to this nation.

Do what I do - the next time some liberal blowhard makes a statement like that - ask them for their address and phone number. Make sure they know that you will be more than happy to fulfill their wishes by passing that information on to the terrorists as the next place to hit first. Be sure and clarify that the terrorists will pay attention to this information because you plan to tell them that this home burns the quran.
