Really, Mr. President?


The White House yesterday responded to Dick Cheney. From the White House blog (emphasis added):

“Second, the former Vice President makes the clearly untrue claim that the President – who is this nation’s Commander-in-Chief – needs to realize we are at War. I don’t think anyone realizes this very hard reality more than President Obama.

Really? Not anyone?

The Politics of Incompetence

http://spectator.org/archives/2009/12/31/the-politics-of-incompetence

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

Response To Enemies

Response to terror bomber who could have killed 300+ Americans and blown up a jet: 4 days.

Response to political enemy calling Barack obama an idiot: 4 hours flat.

Bush/Cheney aggressive response to terrorist – renditions, imprisonment, interrogation, attacks, disruption – basically waging a war on terror = ZERO successful domestic Islamofascist terror attacks on the US in 7 years. Obama ostrich response to terrorists – dropping use of the term, stopping renditions, closing GITMO, releasing terrorists, granting Miranda rights, making the effort entirely legalistic, denial of issues (“the system worked”), words, words, words = TWO successful Islamofascist domestic terror attacks in < 1year (Little Rock and Fort Hood) and one near disaster in Detroit avoided only by the luck of an incompetent terrorist and the courage of a Dutch tourist (whose action in getting up and stopping the terrorist would be illegal under the new rules promulgated by Napolitano). Seems pretty clear. America is in trouble. Obama does have the remarkable, even the Olympian accomplishment of achieving the seemingly impossible – making Jimmy Carter look like a strong and competent President by comparison.

realy?

ZERO successful domestic Islamofascist terror attacks on the US in 7 years.

I guess the Anthrax attacks, the DC sniper, and the Shoe bomber (which oddly enough is basicly the exact same MO as the panty bomber) were all “unsuccessful” as you say.

correction...

dave_in_atl (Diary) Thursday, December 31st at 1:06PM EST (link)

The anthrax attack was not islamofaschist as you say… that was an American attacking Americans… point still stands though.

 
 
 

So, they think Obama DOESN'T need to realize we're at war?

That explains so much.

I fully sympathize, Mr. President. I miss you being anonymous too.

Man Caused Disasters !

Obama is turning out to be one heck of a man caused disaster !

The left wing intent is to destroy the existing society and replace it with a society of its own design.

Every single person in America, children over 8 yrs of age included, who are not personally enamoured with that little sack of monkey-doo, GETS IT.

We are at war with extremely evil perpetrators.

Objectively speaking, the idiot who removed “war on terror” from the government lexicon, who pledged to shut down Gitmo in one year, who bows to the Saudi dictator, who apologizes for America everywhere he goes, who decided to put 9-11 mastermind KSH on trial in a civilian court in NYC……and we could go on…. does NOT get it.

That little "sack" as you call it..

is firmly convinced that he is smarter than God.
His arogance leads him to the conclusion that you and I are too dumb to wipe our own backsides, and he must save us from our selves.

He is probably the most ignorant person on the hill when it comes to matters of State, once again , his arogance prohibits him from admitting it to himself and asking for help from person who are actually capable of managing such matters.
His staff has the same god comples he has, so they are no help.

As for your reference to the contents of the “sack”, I give it a 5!

If O says "war" is he a warrior?

Or in a softer vein, does the use of the word confirm wholehearted commitment? They are a bright, mature bunch in the WH, ” see, see, our guy has actually used the word “war”. Can’t beat that for proof.

Maybe Janet Napolitano wrote the response to Cheney.

the only war obama likes to think

about is the one he is waging against the American people

Unfortunately Barry speaks the same language as these terrorists
and that is one to destroy this country…

 

I'm reminded of this photo as well

Sorry – I’m not tech savvy enough to actually post the photo.

During my years in the Army, there were a couple of times where I had to serve under a person that I didn’t particularly trust or respect. I vividly remember how I felt after Clinton took office – don’t ask, don’t tell, Les Aspin, Somalia. I can only imagine how those on active duty feel now, with this man as Commander-in-Chief.

“The difference is this: President Obama doesn’t need to beat his chest to prove it, and – unlike the last Administration – we are not at war with a tactic (“terrorism”), we at war with something that is tangible: al Qaeda and its violent extremist allies. And we will prosecute that war as long as the American people are endangered.”
—But mostly when he insists on only using the word terror to define it as a tactic. That they don’t seem to understand that terror is a result of a successful mass murder done to effect political change. Terrorist is someone putting the political philosophy of terrorism into practise. It really takes a PhD to get confused about simple English commonly used terms.
As to the last sentence, he needs to add “or 2011 whichever comes first”.
