President Obama’s unnerving happy talk
The Washington Post ^ | September 2, 2014, 3:41 PM | Dana Milbank

President Obama is not worried. And that is unnerving.

British Prime Minister David Cameron presented to parliament on Monday the alarming conclusions of European leaders who had met in Brussels over the weekend: “The European Council believes the creation of an Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria and the Islamist extremism and export of terrorism on which it is based is a direct threat to every European country.”

Cameron added: “To confront the threat of Islamist extremism, we need a tough, intelligent, patient and comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. We must use all the resources at our disposal, our aid, our diplomacy and our military.”

But three days earlier — the day Britain raised its terrorism threat level to “severe” — Obama delivered a very different message when he spoke to donors at a fundraiser in New York’s Westchester County. “Yes, the Middle East is challenging, but the truth is it’s been challenging for quite a while,” he said.

Dana Milbank crawls out or the steamy recesses of Barry Soetoro's a$$ long enough to make some pithy comments, then quickly retreats.

Obama is retarded...probably going back to the first time Frank Marshall Davis introduced him to the "yellow stain."

Retardation isn't just a lack of brain capacity, it can result from trauma (like molestation). Development freezes at a moment in time and the brain stops its sentient growth.

Obama shows all the signs of this.

His narcissism is that of any 11 or 12 year old who has been molested.

Not that unnatural for a Muslim...

M. Savage commented today that the president is either "frozen" by recent events or, he intimated, happy with their direction.

In either case this does not look good and the "happy talk" is wildly inappropriate.

ISIL is gathering money, commercial airliners, and lots of military hardware. The southern border of the US is wide open and they know it. There will be another attack on America soon. Obama's strategy seems to be "stand down and let it happen". This is not going to end well.

The world is peaceful ... never more peaceful. No problems anywhere. If you hear of any problems, it’s because the media made it up.

Of course there’s happy talk - he’s probably been promised the job of caliph of North America in the new world order.

Most of the problems we have there now are a result of his actions and inactions. He is a complete idiot.

When searching for an answer to Obama’s motives and lack of urgency all I keep coming back to is that he’s just NOT on our side. He spends all of his efforts to defeat and destroy his political opposition here and seems to purposely be letting the ME turn into a huge islamic torture chamber.

If that’s true then it should scare the hell out of most Americans.

Obama’s indiscreet admission Thursday that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for military action against the Islamic State, adds to the impression that Obama is disengaged.

Uggghhh! There it is again, that word! "Disengaged." I want to barf when I hear that. He is NOT disengaged, he JUST DOESN'T GIVE A S---! Is there not a single cretin left in the entire freakin' MSM with even a drop of honesty and patriotism left?!?! Just say it and FREE yourself, for gawd's sake! He DOESN'T GIVE A S---!

Not just that, it’s also the effects of decades of heavy drug use. I call him resident Spicoli.

Heavy marijuana use at a young age arrests emotional development. Obama must have started smoking dope at the age of 11.

Wake up, Milbank.

He hates America.

Just like his friend Bill Ayers.

Just like his mentor Frank Marshall Davis.

Just like his model Saul Alinsky.

Obama HATES the three Cs: (classical) Christianity, (original intent of)the Constitution and (free market) Capitalism.

Obama IS “at war” ... against HIS enemies.

He has declared an intense and all-encompassing war against those HE considers the world’s enemy: heterosexual, married, white, anglo-saxon married Christian in the working class.
