    Obama said in an interview on NBC’s “Today” show broadcast Monday that the U.S. has been “pretty successful” preventing major attacks since Sept. 11, 2001.

    He is expressing concern about the “breakdown of order” in the Mideast and parts of North Africa. But he says, “it’s important for us to also just look at the track record of how many Americans have actually been killed during the course of this past decade.”

    He says the job of fighting against extremism is never done. He says strategies have to be adapted to the constant changes terrorists are making.

    Safer are we? So why is it that every time I get on a train or a plane I wonder if I will ever see my family again?

    Safer? Ask the families of the thousands of men and women soldiers who were killed under his watch. Then ask the thousands of wounded men and women who have to live the rest of their lives without hope of recovery. Ask the families near border towns who lost loved ones killed under his watch.

    Overseas this is undoubtedly a lie. The world has become much more dangerous with jihad on the rise on every continent. Domestically, we have jihad on the rise as well plus the illegal immigrants with gangs and deseases being carried over the American borders. The only reason why we are not Gd forbid seeing many attacks here from Muslims is because why should they do the work when Obama is doing it for them? Meanwhile, here in America they are quietly working in all forums to further their evil goals. Politically as well.

    Open borders? High level meetings with Muslim Brotherhood while refusing to meet with Israeli leaders? Immediate offer of $47 million to Hamas when Israel retaliates for the many thousands of rockets? TSA stopping children and elderly while never examining anyone of “Middle Eastern” appearance? Making every police action into a potential civil rights issue against law enforcement officers? Creating Obamacare that destroyed the health care system, with medical decisions now made by bureaucrats, not medical professionals?

    Are we safer, or are we just abusing the English language to fool the population?

    “bewhiskered”, it is obvious that you are a self-hating, guilt-feeling, reverse racist. Personally, I cannot stand Obuma because of his policies and I detest anyone to say that id you dislike Obuma you are a racist. How stupid is that!

    To All The s:

    Aww! All the rabid racists are upset with my post. That’s precisely the idea.

    You pathetic reprobates are so blinded by your pathological hatred of an African American in the White House, you couldn’t recognize the truth if it walked up to you and bit you! Under GW Bush, 3,000 innocent people were murdered in New York City because he did not respond to warnings that were previously issued. He also lied to the entire country about WMD’s in Iraq, resulting in thousands of American soldiers being killed and wounded, and brought on the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. In addition, GW Bush bowed to, kissed, and held hands with the late Saudi King Abdullah on the Crawford ranch. After all, his family has had very close oil relations with Saudi royalty for quite a few years.

    But, of course, as far as you היימישער bigots are concerned, that’s all right, because GW Bush and his entire family are white! And, all of you lamentable cretins are are not only rabid racists, but also too cowardly to admit to it. So, go call me a racist as you were taught to do while eating lunch in your truck listening to Limbaugh. You’re upset with my posts? Good!
