This 9-11, Obama has the Bullhorn on Terrorism
AP ^ | 9/11/09 | Nancy Benac

Posted on 09/11/2009 3:26:31 AM PDT by nickcarraway

On Sept. 11, 2001, Barack Obama was driving to a state legislative hearing in Chicago when he heard the first sketchy reports of a plane hitting the World Trade Center on his car radio. The 40-year-old state senator spent the afternoon in his law office watching "nightmare images" of destruction and grief unfold on TV.

Within days, he'd issued a statement about what the nation should do next.

Beyond the immediate needs to improve security and dismantle "organizations of destruction," Obama wrote, lay the more difficult job of "understanding the sources of such madness." He wrote of "a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers," of "embittered children" around the world, of the seeds of discontent sown in poverty, ignorance and despair.

Will Obama's idea be to apologize to terrorists for "making 9/11 necessary?"

Since most of the 9/11 terrorists were university educated and from affluent families, it just proves again that BO was wrong then and is still wrong now. The tragic difference is that the American voters were ignorant enough to give him the leadership of our nation, a truly suicidal mistake.

You got that right. Oh, woe is BamBam, his amazing nuance and wisdom are bogged down because of all this "stuff" mean ole Dubya left him.

I have a suggestion for where he can stick that bullhorn this 9/11.

Looks like obuma had all the liberal cliches down pat. He forgot to work in rain forest destruction, the sin of eating burgers and save the baby seals.

Every time you accuse a terrorist, a baby seal kills itself.

How does your mind work to be able to construct a sentence like that? Very funny.

“Obama has the Bullhorn on Terrorism”, what a joke! Obamessiah and those in power have ALREADY FORGOTTEN WHAT HAPPENED ON 9/11/01 AND SHOVELED IT UNDER THE NATIONAL “RUG”. Today is merely a “National Day of Service” and a “GREEN DAY”.
They are September 10 people living in a September 12 world. According to Obamessiah and his minions: THERE IS NO WAR ON TERROR, Islamic TERRORISTS and Islam are our “friends” and Islam is the “Religion of Peace”.

According to the Obama admisistration; WE along with the CIA and anyone who wants to protect America from these animals who are actively trying to destroy America and convert or kill us are now the Enemy that they must pursue and destroy!

WRONG

All hijackers were college educated, affluent, middle to upper class jihadists.

NICE TRY.

Yes Bammy....Poverty, hopelessness and American racism is what caused these 18 otherwise fine Islamic gentlemen to hijack 4 US imperialist planes full of evil capitalistic white people with their slaves and fly them into even bigger evil American capitalist symbols full of evil Americans. They will be remembered as heroes and a tribute to what could be called the beginning of the Peoples uprising against America and evil right wing Republicans!

Yep, his answer was to have a moment of silence at the WH. Instead of participating in the memorial; he is probably planning his next trip to the middle east.

Obama has one answer for all the world’s ills:

The white people are responsible.

It’s all zero’s fault. He didn’t give a speech on 9-10 that would have turned the hijackers into peace loving pacifists.

(Hey, the LSM said that’s what his speeches have done to our countries former antagonists.)

The bitterness & desire to attack us MUST be rooted in "poverty and despair" or else there is no way to blame America for the attacks.

The Secret to the Suicidal Liberal Mind

It is possible to perceive the passions of the Left as frenzies of masochism. What could be more idiotic and masochistic than to oppose missile defense? This opposition cannot be understood unless one dispenses with its rhetoric and rationales and realizes that these folks at their emotional core do not want their country defended.

Very poor people don’t have the time or education necessary to develop beliefs strong enough to die for.

And reading this again from Obama really gets me steamed. Especially today:

"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest..." -- Barack Obama
