Someone with a brain in the White House apparently got hold of this situation shortly after the President earlier said on Sunday that it was too early to tell if Orlando was an act of terrorism -- despite it being known at the time the murderer himself claimed ISIS affiliation and was on the FBI's 'terror watch list' for acquaintance with a US-born Syrian suicide bomber -- but at the same time Obama declared that this atrocity was a "hate crime" against gays despite absence of any violent oaths made by the murderer against homosexuals.
President Obama sure does have great leisure to pick and choose his coincidences.
I can picture an assembly of Obama's political handlers sitting together in a crisis room somewhere debating on whether or not it was politically safe yet for the President to say "act of terrorism" on Sunday, but then temper his declaration on Monday by saying it was 'domestic terrorism' as if that somehow mitigates any American's concern. When the news broke of this shooting, I expect someone in the White House was thinking "Please be an American, PLEASE be an American..."
Golly, too bad this Islamikaze jihadist didn't work for the gay nightclub as their security guard, huh? Obama could then claim this was 'workplace violence' just like the Fort Hood massacre.
Not quite...he said “an act of terror”
Another FReeper posted that it was something that MAKES US AFRAID.
Personally, I prefer soldiers that don’t cry. We’re at war. My parents ground their teeth down, smiling through the 1st Great Depression, WWII, Korea, and Nam. They knew that we were possibly going to lose WWII.
If we don’t wise up, we’ll be speaking Arabic or Mandarin.
Neither of those are Indo-European languages, with Western cultural values, let alone American.
