Democrats' worst nightmare: Terrorism on their watch
Politico ^ | 1/1/10 | BEN SMITH & CAROL E. LEE

Posted on 01/01/2010 2:54:07 PM PST by Nachum

From the time he launched his campaign for president three years ago, Barack Obama had to consider how he would react to the first serious act of terrorism during the campaign, or if he won, on his watch. His fellow Democrats had been thinking about the moment even longer - since the September day in 2001 when attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon defined George W. Bush’s presidency and gave Republicans a decisive advantage on a defining political issue.

I give Obama a grade of F. His administration failed in all categories. Janet needs to go for starters.

yep...they’re concerned that a successful terrorist action will make them look bad.

they’re not concerned about you...only about their image.

image over substance...image is everything

At a New Year’s Eve party that I attended last night with lots of people, not one good word for any RATs. RAGE was the topic. Lots of pissed off Americans even here in Liberal land. ROFLMAO

RATs are despised and so is their God.

The democreeps try to downplay the threat of terrorism because they know the American people can't trust them to deal with the threat. They want us to forget about the danger so we think it's safe to elect democreeps. Dork Obomber still can't say the word terrorism when talking about the Ft Hood massacre and underwear bomber. He doesn't even have the guts to call it his own stupid name, man made disasters.

Liberal land in TX? Sounds like Austin or parts of Houston? Were they libs? Do they realize the Democrats are the Party of Islam? Their leader is a Muslim.

I am seriously considering getting a bumper sticker with that on a maghnetic sticker.

Democrats = Party of Islam.

Does any intelligent American think a “professional” ACORN community organizer can do more than create campaign slogans like “hope and change” or read a tele-promter? Barack Obama has little concern for capturing a 2nd term, he doesn’t expect to need four more years to crush the foundations of our country with his personal deep seated ideology. He has a veto proof “progressive” Senate, radical Democrat socialist/Marxist Congress affording him all he needs to realize the creation of leftist utopian dream.

BTW... If you don't think this guy is a Muslim, take note... he hasn't attended ANY Christian services since his election. The Reverend Wright’s Black Liberation theology and his friend Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam are connected at the hip. He ignored the annual Washington D.C. National Day of Prayer activities, a first for an American President since its inception. he considers the Islam "call to prayer" the most beautiful sound in the world and refuses use the term “terrorist" especially in reference to the Muslim brand of TERRORISM which is, without much question 99% of all world wide terrorist activity. He took nearly a two week vacation on Martha’s Vineyard and Camp David during the Islamic high holy season of Ramadan as is the custom of devout muslims.

Should we be drawing any conclusions here? I sincerely believe we have a closet Muslim occupying the White House, do they ever serve pork in the White House dining facilities? It would be quite interesting to find out.

This Obama administration is no Johnson/Carter mistake, this president and his complicit Democrat Congress have become a festering constitutional disaster of the first order.

where are you?

I ask as though I live in a republican county and area, infact one of the most republican area in FL I do know some folks up in MA as I had to live up there for a while .

There is not one, I mean not one know who thinks of bozo as their messiah now, some have said that they’ll give him a bit longer but others who are Dems and voted for him have said they’ve had enough and this is not what they voted for.

The only group where his numbers have gone up is the black population which is no surprise seeing as extra millions came out to vote for him based on color, anyone but the white man.

I haven’t seen a poll though for muslims so I have no idea.

I don’t think so.

They can look to the boost in ratings that Bush got when he appeared to get tough after 9-11.

They can anticipate enlarging existing law-enforcement agencies and creating new ones to control the masses and promote a more vigorous form of “gun control” under the excuse it is for “fighting terrorism”.

They can expand upon the “Patriot Act” to monitor all parties critical of the Obama regime.

Remember Rahm Emmanuel’s statement about not letting any opportunity escape to take advantage of any problem or issue.

Do the Democrats realize that their leader is a Muslim? Or are they still in denial?
