After years of brushing off criticism for avoiding the term “radical Islam,” President Obama fired a point-blank broadside Tuesday at his critics, calling the debate a “political distraction” that will do nothing to combat terrorism.
Speaking from the White House during what was expected to be an update for the public on the fight against the Islamic State, Obama lit into his critics and specifically presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump. Their criticism has mounted in the wake of the Orlando terror attack, which Obama declined to publicly link to radical Islam.
“Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. … There’s no magic to the phrase of radical Islam,” Obama countered Tuesday. “It’s a political talking point.”
The president faced swift pushback from Republicans on Capitol Hill.
“With all due respect Mr. President, you’re wrong," Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said in a statement. "Telling the truth about violent Islam is a prerequisite to a strategy – a strategy you admitted you don’t have. It is the Commander-in-Chief’s duty to actually identify our enemies and to help the American people understand the challenge of violent Islam.”

The sunlight of truth bothers and upsets obama
Amidst the Fraud’s spittle, his worshippers can now claim that he has actually used the term.
I call it "Islam."
“Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. …”
No Shiite Sherlock.
There has never been a President who hates America as much as Obama and his masculine wife.
Good...let the hate flow through you...

NO respect is due the Fraud. Absolutely none was given by Rats to the previous Republican president.
Baraq Hussein Obama, esquire.
Pro Bono defense attorney for Islam.
Partner with Dewey, Cheetam and Howe.
...... You know ..... There's something not right in that boys head!
Finally. Without Trump’s great speech, Obama would never have been forced to defend his aversion to naming our enemy.
And his defense is on-the-ropes poor.
Notice how he said the ‘presumptive’ nominee...and then asked do other republicans agree with him? YES WE DO!
Excellent.
Gee, Barack, that doesn’t seem very presidential.
