Obama goes on tirade against Trump over Muslim ban, 'radical Islam'
CNN ^ | June 14, 2016 | Kevin Liptak and Karl de Vries

Posted on 06/14/2016 10:10:59 AM PDT by PROCON

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama on Tuesday unleashed a blistering verbal assault on Donald Trump and his proposal for a ban on Muslims entering the country, saying the suggestion violates the principles of American democracy and dismissing the "yapping" from "politicians who tweet."

Obama also angrily pushed back against criticism for not using the term "radical Islamic terrorism," calling it "loose talk."

"What exactly would using this language accomplish? What exactly would it change?" Obama asked during remarks at the Treasury Department. "Would it make ISIL less committed to try and kill Americans?" he continued, using a different acronym for ISIS.

The power of Trump's words and attack are evidenced here.

POTUS is compelled to defend himself and his party.

Obama’s current state of agitation makes me wonder if a couple of cells didn’t activate properly last weekend.

If it is a speech given at Treasury, should it not be primarily about the economy and not something else?

If Obama did not talk about the economy, then perhaps the speech is meant to be a distraction(?)

CNN has been especially badly biased today. Been anti-trump all day long.

Why doesn’t Obama just yell “Allahu Akbar” already.

That would be great as a bumper sticker or t-shirt!

Obama is not used to being challenged and being on the receiving end of criticism from Trump is getting under his skin big time. All his life he got special treatment. The media won’t question him and neither will the Republican Party for that matter. But now there’s a new political force out there that he can’t silence. Its fun watching Obama unravel under the pressure.

“Hussein, your mask dropped”

Nice point, Obama’s may be the biggest mask to fall thus far. Trump is smoking them out like Terminex bug control.

So we’re back to 2008 when many of us were yelling:
“We’re at war with Islam, so how can a guy we’re not even sure is an American, a radical schooled in a madrassa, who attends a `church’ where the `minister’ says `G_d damn America’ ... how is a mook named `Hussein’ going to lead the fight?”

But the MSM told us not to call him Hussein, called us xenophobic, racist bigots, and the GOP called us wacko hobbits, meekly fisted their foreheads and told us to concentrate on giving them Congress.

Since Obama asked the question: what purpose would using the words "Islamic Terrorism " serve, I'm certain Trump will provide an answer - - loud and clear!

Some legal beagle this guy is, he doesn't even know that you never ask a question unless you already know the answer.

He's about to get schooled.

What would calling radical Islam, do......it would allow people to focus on who their enemy is.....who we are at war with. One of the key concepts on war is to know your enemy so you can identify your enemy.

The Big Zero, is a Islamic apologist and always has been.

Whether it is “work place violence” “lone wolf” self-radicalized” he almost never uses the word Muslim. He would rather blame an attack that kills our Ambassador on an Internet movie than what really happened. He would rather blame a murder at a military base on workplace violence than what it is.

Ignoring or covering up is what the Big Zero seems to prefer rather than confront and deal with things as they exist.

Yes, and unfortunately the GOPe still doesn’t get it.

The GOP has never, EVER had a firm grasp on political warfare, which is just one reason the GOP loses so much.

Congress is absolutely worthless. Whenever it adjourns (which it does frequently) nobody notices.
