Trying to reassure a nation on edge, President Barack Obama said Sunday the Islamic State group "cannot strike a mortal blow" against the U.S., and he warned that overreacting to the Paris attacks would play into extremists' hands. "We will destroy this terrorist organization," he vowed.

Ending a trip to Asia, Obama implored Americans not to let the specter of terror cause them to compromise their values or change the way they live. [...]

Since IS militants killed 130 in France nine days ago, Obama's strategy has come under repeated questioning. ...

cannot strike a mortal blow” against the U.S.,

All very well and good, but they can take a good number of us in the attempt.

Thanks B.O., but I’m too busy “overreacting” to the

terrorist in the WH and his enablers to worry about ISIS.

Hmmm, isn’t this the Clinton doctrine? Don’t react to terrorist attacks like the boat that blew up our ship in Yemen? Don’t make a big deal out of Paris: it will all go away. After they exploded our warship, they stopped bothering us, didn’t they??

Dear Obama: The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French... the poem written on it is NOT our Constitution. As far as our 'values' are concerned - one of them is being able to stay alive. So please Obama, don't lecture us about a poem written on a Statue.

So Paris was no big deal.

Sounds like France's police force is doing the wrong thing. And the bombings of ISIS in Syria also appears to be overreaction. /s

Too many “moments of silence” and “candlelight vigils”.

"cannot strike a mortal blow"

The last two times this administration has made such statements the jihadists struck. . . . . .

Pres Nixon resigned to avoid a Constitutional crises.

This impostor pRes_ _ent, void of even a birth certificate,
has destroyed America, its Laws, its Justice, and in
their place instituted Race War, IRS Abuse, and
al Qaeda arming.
And the DNC and GOP had orgasms as Americans were killed.

Even his own sycophants no longer believe him.

O’s credibility is about a zero.

Saying is one thing; doing is another.

ISIS is no Iran, which is soon to have nukes, thanks to the US. Will he say the same when Iran has nukes?

President Barack Obama said Sunday the Islamic State group "cannot strike a mortal blow"

A beyond stupid context in which to discuss Islamic terrorism. So, we shouldn't worry about it unless they have the capability to "strike a mortal blow". No need to worry about malls being shot up, or schools, or large public gatherings where the deaths might only be a few dozen, or a hundred or two?

The more he talks the more asinine he becomes on this subject. He views his primary responsibility as being the Moslem apologist in chief.
