Obama: No ‘credible intelligence’ of imminent attack on U.S. over Thanksgiving
The Washington Times ^ | November 25, 2015 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 11/25/2015 9:59:07 AM PST by jazusamo

Saying U.S. counter-terrorism officials haven't uncovered any credible threat of pending attacks, President Obama urged Americans Wednesday to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday.

"Right now, we know of no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland," Mr. Obama said after meeting in the White House situation room with FBI Director James B. Comey, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and others. "We continue to do everything possible to prevent attacks at home and abroad."

Mr. Obama said it's "understandable" for Americans to worry about terrorist attacks following the Nov. 13 killing spree in Paris by extremists of the Islamic State. And he said it's useful for people to be "vigilant."

"If you see something suspicious, say something," the president said. "But otherwise, Americans should go about their usual Thanksgiving weekend activities, spending time with family and friends and celebrating our blessings."

The president said U.S. military, intelligence and law-enforcement agencies "are on the case."

I would not shop any mall on Black Friday.

Now that we live in obomaworld, gathering together in a huge, packed group on a holiday that celebrates God and this country isn't a very smart idea. If an islamofascist doesn't get you, a PCfascist will try to.

Everytime this ass-hat makes such a proclamation all hell breaks loose.

Great point! The school district will probably settle out of court for $1M.

If you “say something,” you are branded racist by the muzz hordes or as being “afraid of widows and orphans” by President A$$hole himself.

I do not know about you dear reader but this sounds like a stupid; quote, dare ya, unquote. This morning (11/24) at 10 am was seated at a local bar/grill and awaited breakfast when a ABC news special broke in for a no show Mr.O over their TV . Was this the news flash he was suppose to announce ?

“Right now, we know of no specific and credible intelligence indicating a plot on the homeland,” Mr. Obama said

Except he will still be here with a phone and a pen plotting against us himself.

Report: Analysts say leadership altered ISIS intelligence ...

And we are to believe that his reports do not show an imminent threat.

When he says that I’m worried.

That’s the way I read it. No need for the additional words in the headline.

Statement should read: “No credible intelligence in the White House”.

So, safe to say that, at this point, there’s still no credible intelligence in the White House.

We should be on red alert if Obama is saying “All clear”.

Obama has no credibility.

He proclaimed that ISIS was contained and that Al Qaeda was on the run.

He refused to identify the Ft. Hood shooting as a terrorist attack.

FUBO

Obama wants sheeple to go out shopping this week or else his economy is going to have bad numbers again.

The message could easily have been a go-code.

That was my first thought. It just goes to show what kind of mess we are in, if that's a plausible meaning of a proclamation by a POTUS.

I haven't paid mind to the turkey pardon this year. Is its name Isis?
