"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 there was ANYONE ... ANY American .. who brushed off the obvious radical takeover of this country by this exclusively partisan, impudent and incompetent CIC, who may have been blase or indifferent or thought it was 'politics as usual,'

this statement .. and this statement ALONE .. should disabuse them forever of the naive notion that this country is NOT on the brink of disaster.

God forbid, he's doing everything under the sun to encourage another attack, and is probably besot with the same twisted and insane Clinton melancholy of being CIC for a catastrophic event here .. to show off his 'hero' muscles and build legacy. .

God help us .. keep praying for His mercy

He’s completely detached, and IIRC, he blamed US, in part, for 9/11.

We are stronger, but NOT because of ANYTHING he ever said or did. He fought President Bush and our military every step of the way.

John Bolten coming out swinging right now on Fox News. WOW...’Obama not qualified to be Commander In Chief’!!

I wonder how the families of the almost 3000 murdered souls, the rescue workers, and all of those who are ill because of the environmental exposure would describe how they “absorbed” that day.

Clueless. He (and his roommates from the elitists, academic ivory tower)is so far removed from the reality of the lives of ordinary, everyday Americans. It is beyond pathetic. It is sick.

I sure hope the heck I or my family members don’t have to sacrifice our lives to absorb one for the Democrats. I think people would go crazy if Obama put the Democratic Party hacks above inocent citizens lives. Obama is one sick mind...
