And how did we recover, you ask? With the principles and policies that Obama blames several times a day for the mess he and the Democrats have created since then.
I wish I had a quarter for every dumb-@ss in America that can't get this through their thick heads--I'd buy them a clue.
Of course we can absorb a terrorist attack — that is, a single non-nuclear explosion or car bombs, etc. We could survive a nuke as well. Furthermore, it would make no economic sense to increase our ‘homeland security’ to the point that all terrorist attmpts are thwarted. Americans know this.
The sooner Obama’s administration is gone the better, but I won’t fault him for stating the simple truth that we can survive a terrorist attack.
