Obama: "...there are no existential threats facing us"

[easyt65]

Watch Obama Claim There Are ‘No Existential Threats’ Facing U.S. as His Presidency Approaches Its End

(NOTE: 'Existential Threat': one that threatens the entire future of ...this country / humanity. (As he is talking about the US and our future, he uses the term to mean there is no threat to the US' existence/future).

OBAMA:
“We remain the strongest nation on earth by far, and there are no existential threats facing us,” the president added, “but if we make some good choices now, whoever the next president is, whoever is controlling the next Congress there, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t own the 21st century.”

Interesting...Obama does not think the threat of Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, terrorists infiltrating and attacking the US, and even (gasp) GLOBAL WARMING is such a threat.

Clearly he underestimates the FEAAAAARRRRR of the RW...

Here you go. This is bound to make you feel better.

Once Obama is gone the US won't have any existential threat...
- No more armed Mexican Drug Cartels
- No more arming Al Qaeida
- No more President bypassing Congress to drag the US into a war to help the murderers of over a thousand Americans capture their own country
- No more arming ISIS
- No more proxy war against Syria/Russia/Iran
- No more Muslim Brotherhood in the WH / Cabinet
- No more sending the Atty General out to threaten Americans / their Right to Free Speech
- No more Kissing Iran's ass and helping them acquire a nuke, facilitating a nuclear arms race in the ME
- No more giving Visas to terrorists and letting them come into the country to kill Americans
- No more President vowing to stand with Muslims if the winds blow the wrong way

No, we have confidence in the country. Our President has just never given us reason to have confidence in him...

 

[mudwhistle]

Existential threat sounds so impressive to liberals.

Too bad it's not only bullshit but it's coming from the biggest threat in our history.

Well there's that getting Usama thingy.......and reversing the course of the Great Recession....and taking the Mullahs' toys away...and reducing the deficit by 70%....and presiding over the longest streak of private sector job gains in US history....and reducing the growth of Federal spending by 75%...and not doing any of that stupid sh*t that had you and your brain dead ilk cheering yourselves hoarse from 2001 thru Jan 2009.....

Other than that he's been kind of a slacker..

Perhaps you failed to notice, but it's easyt getting all atwitter over it.

 

[S.J.]

Obama is an existential threat to our country, and so is Hillary. Come to think of it, the entire Democratic Party is an existential threat to the United States. Has been for some time now.

Does the OP work for ISIS?

ISIS wants the world to believe that it is powerful enough to topple the world's greatest super power. This belief legitimizes them and increases their ability to recruit.

ISIS wants every American to live in fear. The OP is helping ISIS.

ISIS and the Republican Party use fear to gain and maintain power. ISIS needs the Republican Party, who so willingly broadcasts fear on their behalf. The Republican Party enabled them to make Americans live in fear. Making people live in fear is the point of terrorism. By the same token, Republicans need ISIS so they can use fear to get elected.

If a Republican wins the presidency in 2016, Big Government Conservatism is coming back. Hold on to your wallets folks and get ready for terrorism and fear to lead every news story.

You have s greater chance of dying by lightning strike than a terrorist attack, but the Republicans think you are dumb and scared enough to live in fear.

"Hi I'm from the government, and I'm here to protect you"

When will these fucking morons stop giving Washington so much money and power to save the world. Don't they fucking get it. When you give Washington the money and power to remake Iraq, they will only make things worse. You fucking morons. Your Big Government war on terrorism is giving us a surveillance state with an unstable Middle East - and massive debt, yet we are no safer.

Washington always makes problems worse. Hide your wallets folks. They're coming back.

Obama himself is a major threat to this nation

 

[Luddly Neddite]

RWNJs go all to pieces over every single thing on the planet. They're like children who must be taken care of. They're like Drumpf in that they have no filters, no way to judge what is truly dangerous to the US.

That's also why they believe every crackpot who lies to them.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Obama himself is a major threat to this nation

Yeah. He's cut the unemployment rate in half and made the US the strongest country on the planet.

RWs are just plain stupid.

How did the nation look when the last guy for whom you cast two enthusiastic votes was done playing with it, GassyIrishLass?

 

[ClosedCaption]

OP be like: Theres no way we can compete against cave dwellers! America isnt strong enough. Where do I go to curl up and die?

 

[easyt65]

No getting 'atwitter', Ice. I just found it interesting that Obama seems to think there is no existential threat out there.

Obama has declared Global Warming to be the biggest threat we face; yet, successful attacks on US soil killing American citizens have risen from 1 under bush to 4 - 5 now under Obama. His term is not over yet, but he is 'tempting fate' his last year by forcibly (by that I mean against majority of Americans' will/desire) bringing in all of these Syrians / 'refugees (...despite the recent terrorist attack that killed 14 Americans by an 'immigrant/terrorist whom the Obama administration failed to vet properly and to whom they gave a visa AND despite the cases of sexual assaults/rape perpetrated by Syrian 'refugees' in Europe / Germany).

There is now a threat of a nuclear arms race in the ME, according to Saudi, based on Obama's actions regarding this 'deal' he brokered (a deal Iran has already violated twice with no consequences - promised by Obama). Despite Iran's leader leading his people in a chant of 'death to America', practicing bombing runs on a mock US aircraft carrier, making fun of Obama, declaring they still want to nuke Israel and us, et all DURING NEGOTIATIONS and their latest 'deal' violations, Obama seems to naively trust them and think they are no threat.

Time will tell...

 

[easyt65]

CC, those 'cave-dwellers' killed over 1,000 Americans on 9/11/01, killed 4 Americans on 9/11/12, have slaughtered, beheaded, burned, drowned, etc thousands more, captured part of Iraq, drove Russia out of Afghanistan, and has never really officially been conquered. You try to make them sound as dangerous as children, but they are far more formidable and dangerous. Just sayin'....not close to 'curling up and dying'. Just respecting my enemy....

Is that before or after he apologizes to other countries for our greatness.
