Obama defends counterterror record in parting security speech, amid new warnings
Fox News ^ | December 6, 2016 | Fox News/AP

Posted on 12/06/2016 5:07:18 PM PST by jazusamo

President Obama, in what was billed as his last major national security speech in office, defended his counterterrorism record and strategy Tuesday while warning “the threat will endure” well into the future – and taking a glancing shot at his successor’s approach.

Even as a new congressional report declared the U.S. is facing its highest threat from Islamist terrorists since 9/11, Obama claimed progress in the fight against terror in his address at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, home to U.S. Special Operations Command and U.S. Central Command.

While calling Al Qaeda a shadow of its former self, the outgoing president said the U.S. and its allies also are “breaking the back of ISIL.”

0bama is a legend in his own mind. For eight years he's shunned our closest allies and breast fed our adversaries including Muslim terrorist groups and released some of the worst radical terrorists from Gitmo. He now stands up and has the gall to suggest to President-elect Trump that he should follow in his anti-American footsteps.

Obama considers the IRS decisions that denied tax-exempt status to conservative organizations to have been part of his “counter-terror record.”

If Obama had been as committed to defending our nation as he is to defending his disgraceful legacy, America would be much, much better off today.

Barack Obama shouldn’t really be counted as a citizen of the West;
though allegedly born in USA, his heart is firmly in the Third World).

This deranged arrogant megalomaniac unaccountably got into American politics under false pretenses.

His disgusting European apology tour certainly proved his rank hatred of America. His capabilities in office demonstrated a remarkable proclivity for looting the US Treasury.

In it only for the money, you say? You betcha. The Washington Times says he leaves office as a billionaire.....and plans to shake the money tree bigtime (coached by those practiced grifting experts....the Clintons).

===============================================

The clock is ticking, his time in the White House is fading....but Obama is not going quietly. Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.

If that wasnt enough Boobamba says he intends to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more. He's proud he fundamentally transformed the nation we loved into a violent, hate-filled place.

All of this is fodder for his foundations. The reality is the Boob and the missus got rich in office and intend to get even richer via an endless presidency......ala the crooked Clintons.

The stabbing/driving attack at OSU is an example of the hate-filled Obama administration's deliberate and reckless refugee resettlement policy....... NONE of this is by accident. It is part of a long and deeply thought out plan to destroy the USA.

Obama's evil eye examined the globe and he brought here those he considers potential time bombs, b/c Obama hates America; this Royal Idiot demands Americans become prostrate to these lowlifes...to exhibit proper deference to them and their so-called "religion.".......and lets them suck off the backs of taxpayers interminably.

=================================================

Trump needs to be examining Obama's faciltators like (a) amnesty groups, (b) Jeh Johnson, Leon Rodriguez at DHS, and, (c) placement agencies religious groups paid to relocate these people.

They may be in violation,and subject to prosecution, under several other laws.

If these actions affect interstate commerce and trade, they should be prosecuted under the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act 18 U.S. Code § 1951, passed in 1946, is a federal law that prohibits robbery or extortion, or attempted robbery or extortion, that affects interstate or foreign commerce.

The Hobbs Act originally was designed to target racketeering in labor-management disputes that were common at the time.

More recently the Hobbs Act has been used to prosecute and jail politicians involved in activities that impair an area's economic viability.

These actions need to be investigated under the Hobbs Act.

MASSIVE FLOOD OF NEW IMMIGRANTS FROM MUSLIM NATIONS
Frontpagemag.com ^ | October 12, 2016 | Robert Spencer / FR Posted by Biggirl

The Washington Examiner reported that “at 42.4 million, there are now more immigrants, legal and illegal, in America than ever before, fueled by a massive flood from Muslim nations….And while the doors remain open on the U.S.-Mexico border, the biggest percentage increases in immigration are all from largely Muslim nations.” (Excerpt) Read more at frontpagemag.com ...

===========================================

......the doors are wide open on the US-Mexico border for its nationals to stroll in....
....but the biggest increase in immigration to the US are from largely Muslim nations......

Trump has focused on Mexican citizens here wire-transferring billions of US dollars back to Mexico.

<><> It is also possible Mexico is charging fees to let people use its border to invade the US. Stats on file here indicate over 100 countries gather at the Mexican border as the method to easily enter the US to plot the overthrow of the US govt.

=====================================

The close-mouthed Congressional Hispanic Caucus has been much too secretive about its role in financing, and, possibly using Congressional earmarks to finance the overthrow of the US govt.

<><>Let's determine the shady acts of collusion and conspiracy perpetrated in conjunction w/ the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (C/H/C) to increase their political clout, to get voting blocs to jet-stream US foreign aid to the corrupt Third World.

<><> US tax dollars could be laundered, then funneled back as campaign donations to Democrat amnesty-worshippers' campaign coffers.

================================================

SUBPOENA CELL PHONE RECORDS, COMPUTER DISKS, HARD DRIVES, WIRE-TRANSFERS to determine whether the Hispanic Caucus colluded w/ foreign govts to aid and abet the overthrow of the US govt.

ITEM--Taxpayers demand to know the scope and dimension of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus using government offices for illegal purposes.

ITEM--Taxpayers demand to know if members of the Hispanic Caucus belong to and/or finance violent latino groups advocating the overthrow of the US govt.

ITEM--Taxpayers demand documents held by the Hispanic Caucus be scrutinized for possible falsification. Falsifying Government Documents involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

===================================================

ACTION NOW---GET FULL FINANCIAL DETAILS ON THE
C/H/C----ASK YOUR REPS TO GET YOU THIS INFO ASAP.

All tax monies expended by the C/H/C must be explicitly detailed and published in the Congressional Record or Federal Register. (But under the lawless Obama, secrets are being kept from the taxpayers.)

CONTACT CONGRESS WEB SITE http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

OPEN THE BOOKS OF the C/H/C NOW

Obama's biggest con job is to keep Americans thinking he is fighting Muslim terrorism when he is actually doing everything he can to help Islam conquer the world.

Hussein's Muslim (Arab) Spring crap was simply the effort to overthrow governments to put Muslim terrorists in control.

In Egypt, Hussein backed the Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptians threw out the Muslim terrorists but Hussein did all he could to put them in power.

In Libya, Hussein Obama and useful idiot Hillary Clinton illegally attacked a government to come, to see and then to kill. Hussein's purpose was to leave the country in shambles so the Muslim terrorists could get control of the country.

Along the way in Libya, Hussein and useful idiot Hillary Clinton were arming the Libyan rebels. WHO ARE THE REBELS? Muslim terrorists.

Benghazi was the result of Americans trying to get US weapons in Libya moved to Syria where Hussein was siding with Syrian "rebels." Who are the Syrian "rebels?" They are Muslim terrorists.

Now you know where $6 Billion dollars lost by the State Dept went.

It all makes sense when you plug the observation that Hussein is America's FIRST Muslim President into the WTF equation.
