Obama: 9-11 happened because al-Qaida lacks 'empathy' Senator lectures U.S. military, blames terror on 'poverty, ignorance, despair' By Aaron Klein © 2009 WorldNetDaily JERUSALEM – The 9-11 attacks were carried out because of a lack of "empathy" for others' suffering on the part of al-Qaida, whose terrorist ideology "grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair," Sen. Barack Obama explained in largely unreported comments eight days after the mega-terror attacks that rocked the nation. Obama went on to imply the September 11th attacks were in part a result of U.S. policy, lecturing the American military to minimize civilian casualties in the Middle East and urging action opposing "bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle-Eastern descent."

That’s the stupidest statement ever made by a sentient being.

I’d get banned if I said what I think of this disgraceful s o b.

Hell, I'd either be in the custody of the Secret Service or headed to reeducation camp in the custody of the brownshirts.

Is this a surprise? When he said “My Muslim faith” he meant it, George had to correct him. I’ve watched that over and over again, showed it to many people and not one thinks he didn’t screw up. He was tired, felt comfortable with Georgie and it just slipped out.

At some point in the near dark future a demonstration in DC against the socialist government of the USA would very much be in order.

My neighbor has done it since he was elected and will until he is out of there.

Sen. Barack Obama is a freaking idiot.

I hope that's all he is.

He sounds more and more like, not the Manchurian Candidate, but the Machiavellian Candidate, a man who truly wants to destroy the United States because his mother, his father, his teachers, his Imams and his "community organizer" buddies all told him it was so evil.

Ummm, pardon me, but so what? Obama made those asinine and offensive comments over 7 years ago, which means: Other than showing that he's been an ignoramus (as JimRob said, "a freaking idiot") for at least 7 years, I don't see why we're supposed to be shocked. Obama said something stupid -- surprise -- he was even stupider then than he is now, no d-uh...

This is not news... by using the present tense, the headline implies he said it recently. WND is trying to raise hysteria amongst the faithful with misleading headlines, IMO.

Like JimRob said, it's gonna be a tough four years. But there's no benefit in working up a panic over Obama's old comments. Truth is, I'm more worried about what he hasn't said yet...

“And yet, we elected this idiot. So who’s dumber?”

“We” did? I sure as hell didn’t and neither did my friends, family and neighbors.

Also, it appears to me that the WND article is a reprint of one they originally posted 6 months ago. Their page is dated July 20, 2008.

Seems to me they're just trying to get more mileage out of old news... it ain't new news.

OTOH, I am worried to hear what Obama has to say in his inaugural address. If he says anything substantive at all, I'm afraid of what it might be, and what it means for my beloved Nation.
