Obama Believes People Afraid of Terror Because They Aren’t As ‘Intelligent’ As He

Columnist Charles Krauthammer stated that President Obama's reported quotation that he didn't watch enough cable news to understand the anxiety people had about terrorism was him stating people "are not as cool, intelligent, and far-seeing as I am" on Friday's "Special Report" on the Fox News Channel.

Krauthammer said, "to me he was being sarcastic. He was - this is a way of dissing, of sort of showing condescension to the rabble our there. After all this is an interview he gave, January 23rd of this year. Asked, 'Do you think the media sometimes overstates the level of alarm people should have about terrorism?' Barack Obama, 'Absolutely. And I don't (even) blame the media for that. What's the saying if it bleeds, it leads. You show crime stories (on local newscasts, right?) because that's what (the) folks watch.' This is Obama essentially saying, well, you know, the reason people are upset about this, is because it's been hyped on television, and they are not as cool, intelligent, and far-seeing as I am. This is his usual professorial condescension."

The reason DC elites aren't afraid of Syrian refugees being terrorists is NONE of the Syrian refugees are being placed in upscale white liberal elite neighborhoods.

Liberal elites have almost nothing to fear...either do the GOPe elites. Those people live in safe neighborhoods (clustered around DC) and work in government buildings protected by armed guards. (Which is why they don't care if our guns are taken away either... )

Elites send focus groups out to see why Americans are afraid? We can help them understand.

When Trump's President he should relocated all Syrian refugees and criminal illegals to the five wealthiest ZIP codes around DC... and the elites can 'discover' why we're concerned out here in flyover.

What ever the cost... build buildings to hold a hundred, two hundred families of criminal illegals and Syrian refugees.. right in the middle of 'political elite white world - elite ZIP codes clustered around Washington DC... Think of it as 'sensitivity training'...

Thanks, maybe I’ll give the site another try- I like the articles I read on FR from there- but was getting swamped in ads and refresh etc on there-

I tried ‘adaware pro’ but shortly after installing it I completely lost my computer’s window installation lol- could be just coincidence as I think my hard-drive might be failing- but now I’m worried about installing it again- it did completely get rid of ads though- and I downloaded fro mthe actual site, checked it for viruses etc- but wow- what a mess- luckily I had a raw copy of my hard-drive on a backup drive and a disk duplicator- so was up and running quick enough- but still a pain to deal with

Speaking of "Being There", I created this graphic in April of 2008 to commemorate the SOBs ascension to the Spite House. What scares chit outta me is that it's taken so many others 7 years to figure this out. That sorta makes the case for what the SOB said, doesn't it?

“Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again – and CHANGE. DON’T FORGET CHANGE!”

SADLY, I followed it up with this one:

I'm convinced that the MAIN REASON we're in such deep chit is depicted below.

This is a crisis we'd better get a handle on before it's too late -- if it isn't already!

My Dad when asked what he was looking forward to would always answer, "Revelation 8:1".

I am starting to agree with him.

"... there was silence in heaven for about half an hour."

I’d say more than half the country is dumber than a box of rocks. He got elected twice, didn’t he?

I prefer to say he attained the position of (p)resident through whatever means necessary.

My flag was furled on Usurpation Day January 20, 2009

It will not come out until we have a legitimate President again.

Both parties wanted to ignore the natural born citizen requirement for their own purposes.

Now the precedent has been set for any anchor baby with no allegiance to the U.S. to become President.

Sorry - neither political part - as they are presently constituted - wants to slash the Fed Gov. That is precisely what this vote on Friday told us once and for all if there was any doubt left in any Republican, Libertarian, or Independents mind.

I’m counting the days until obama leaves office on the white board in my office at work. Right next to my Cruz pins and bumper sticker.

All so very well-said. Imagine how evil you have to be to pay other people to die for you, yet deny other people even the right to try to defend themselves and their families at the risk of their own lives.

Forget about the political parties. It’s the American People, not the political parties, that are the key to America’s future. It is the American People who need to take ownership of THEIR country, THEIR Constitution and THEIR freedom.

I’m looking forward to the Blessed Hope, soon. It won’t be postponed forever for the sake of those who haven’t been saved yet.

Of course he thinks he is intelligent. He has never been told to his face that he is a man of average intelligence. In 2008 he was hailed as the most intelligent nominee ever born! the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. He was hailed as a Caesar-type leader with impeccable morals.

And, let’s not forget the deep crease up the front of his pants, and being the editor of the Harvard review/s
