Obama wakes up [to international terrorism?]; White House alarmed

Something big is happening. Big enough to alarm the White House. So big that the administration did an abrupt about-face regarding terrorism.

Terrorism's serious now -- driving major policy reversals. The administration just won't tell us why.

(snip)

But the administration's biggest policy reversal to date came from Holder, the longtime advocate of terrorist "rights," who offered one of the most belated acknowledgments in history when he told a TV network, "We're now dealing with international terrorism."

(snip)

And there wasn't a single mention of "man-caused disasters" this time around. Every administration point person talked "terrorism." Next thing you know, somebody in the White House will use the term "Islamist terrorist."

Some revelation about the terrorist threat has shocked the president. It's about time.

[Pessimist]

That’s cuz they’re looking for the rallying power of a “war on terror” to float their poll numbers.

[bgill]

Hamas has his real birth certificate?

[Egon]

It’s all about appearing tough prior to a potentially disastrous mid-term election. The “crisis” is: some pollster finally woke up.

[GoCards]

Do you think he actually went to his first meeting with National Security last week? hmmm.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

“We’re now dealing with international terrorism.”

Welcome to da party pal!

Some revelation about the terrorist threat has shocked the president.

It all depends on how you define the word "terrorist":

[Mr. Wright]

Yes, and November is approaching very, very quickly!!
You will see these idiots acting more and more conservative as General Election Day.

[Paladin2]

Our Dear Leader Islamist is concerned that Islam threatens the US?

Quite surprising.

[theDentist]

I believe pne of the terrorist spokesmen released a YouTube video stating their suicide bombers were in place across America. As much as the inept dolts are, they certainly don't want to be seen as doing nothing...

... while they're doing nothing.

[Siena Dreaming]

Yes, and at the same time they’re trying not to lose their commie base which is why lesbian Kagan was just nominated.

[ClearCase_guy]

There was recent news that indicated the terrorists were going to use suicide bombers against targets in American cities.

One or two of those would seriously make people wake up. Never happened under Bush. Heeeeeyyyyy -- what's with this Obama guy??

[Earthdweller]

They probably called in his loans unless he gives them more power. Obama had better grow a spine real quick and figure out who his real friends are. There comes a time for all moonbats to land after the mugging. I sure hope they don’t act foolishly and emotionally. God help us.

Terrorism's serious now -- driving major policy reversals. The administration just won't tell us why.

Because the White House has been doing some of its own polling and realized very quickly that another successful terror attack on US soil means that King Barry is a one-term president, guaranteed.

[EternalVigilance]

Oprah was in the vicinity of Times Square. That shook ‘em up.

But seriously, good article. Something’s going on.

[MrB]

They might be using the term “terrorism” now,
but they really mean the Tea Partiers,

and watch out for the phrase

“constitutional democracy”.

It’s been thrown around a lot lately.

[Bahbah]

Some revelation about the terrorist threat has shocked the president

He found out that they want to kill him along with the rest of us?

[TexasCajun]

One can only get by on luck for so long.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

It’s probably what they found out from Shazzam....

[MestaMachine]

No. he is concerned because we are getting on to him and tying him personally to many of these people.
