Barack Obama Can’t Handle the Truth
Commentary Magazine ^ | 10/18/10 | Peter Wehner

Posted on 10/18/2010 5:45:28 PM PDT by Nachum

In the well-known line from the movie A Few Good Men, Jack Nicholson tells Tom Cruise, “You can’t handle the truth!” It appears as if President Obama is finding himself in a similar predicament. I base this conclusion on the president’s comments at a fundraising event on Saturday in West Newton, Massachusetts, where he said this: Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared

Scare me enough and you won’t like what I do. I will stand and protect my country..........no matter what it takes. This guy doesn’t understand that he has pushed the people of America to their limit.

“”at a fundraising event on Saturday in West Newton, Massachusetts””

How in the devil am I supposed to keep track of his trips in Air Force One when these events don’t even show up on the White House Daily Schedule? He was in OH - that didn’t show up on the schedule - he was in Philly the week before -that didn’t show up on the schedule and now MA. Each of those days shows “no public schedule.” I usually keep track from the news but in case I miss something, I go to the schedule only to find NOTHING!!!

What gives?

“”because we’re hardwired not to always think clearly when we’re scared””

That’s what you made sure of before the election, you creep! “Scare the pants off the “folks” and I get their vote.” Now look at what we have!!!!! A good for nothing thing occupying the WH!!!

Americans are not scared ... rather Americans are hacked off... angry - resolved to push back - take back what has been traditional American Values and secure our Constitutional Rights.

Calling us scared is a just a silly desperate tactic that obama blindly uses as he is so out of touch that he is an Alien Being in our midst.

It’s a basic hardwired human behavior. When you get scared your survival instincts kick in. In this case patriots are scared of losing the country they love, that others spilled blood in a foriegn land for us, go down the tubes at the hand of a communist mad man. Patriots WILL rise to the occasion with a ferocity of a trapped wild dog to ensure a great country survival.

Scared, no. First we’re ignored, then discounted as fringe, then made fun of, then accused of being dangerous and terrorist prone, then accused of being controlled by radical right operatives, then scorned and ridiculed some more, lied about, then called racist and bigots and Obama thinks we’re scared.

We’re not scared. We’re outraged and so mad that some of us are already camped out and starting a line at voting places throughout the country. I’m 70 and have never been so determined to see defeat as I am now. I can’t wait for November 2nd. I don’t want just a defeat. I want to see a bloodbath.

Well, the Democrats will fix everything in 2012. They will get Hillary elected president. That will be so much better.
