Ha! That’s pretty insightful.
Jobs for jihadis was touted by Harf
Dear scouter,
about 30-years ago I was enlisted in the Navy and worked a desk involved in MidEast/Mediterranean/NorthAfrican intelligence.
Those parts of the world dominated by Islam really did not have employment for 50% of the adult males in their populations. Those governments did not, and still do not want their populations to have meaningful lives outside of complete subservience to Islam.
It’s all about control and power; jobs have nothing to do with what is happening there now.
Sincerely, Satin Doll

Both situations are unfolding just the way Obama wants them.
Obama wouldn't use the words "bitter clingers" in speaking of Muslim terrorists, but the whole idea that they're motivated by a lack of economic opportunities is right on his script. Remember Marie Harf and her root cause of terrorism is the lack of jobs comment?
What others have called attention to isn't the difference between how Obama talks about ISIS and how he talks about back country Americans who voted against him, but rather the similarity. And they find that offensive. Go here for more.
What's striking about the comment is how insincere it really is. Obama had plenty of time to do something about the conditions he complains about, but he hasn't done any more -- arguably he's done less -- than other presidents to improve things in rural Pennsylvania. Nor has he improved conditions in the Middle East.
Maybe politicians really can't "improve" things that much, but this talk about root causes that the other politicians have ignored is just so much insincere cant.
