Obama literally had to redefine the definition of terror just to appear like he's winning.
Doesn't matter if you're a lousy manager, a terrible leader, and literally the most uninformed president in our history. He thinks he's winning.
Gee... who am I going to listen to? The President of the United States who's the most closely scrutinized man in the world and who has a track record of positive change? Or some paranoid two digit IQ piece of shit on the internet who usually gets his ass handed to him in the these conversations?
I guess a socialist would think his record is positive. That would cover you and wry.
Name Calling Meister?
For shame..
Possibly one of his best:
About fucking time!Now, all these issues remind us that the choices we make about war can impact in sometimes unintended ways the openness and freedom on which our way of life depends. And that is why I intend to engage Congress about the existing Authorization to Use Military Force, or AUMF, to determine how we can continue to fight terrorism without keeping America on a perpetual wartime footing.
The AUMF is now nearly 12 years old. The Afghan war is coming to an end. Core al Qaeda is a shell of its former self. Groups like AQAP must be dealt with, but in the years to come, not every collection of thugs that labels themselves al Qaeda will pose a credible threat to the United States. Unless we discipline our thinking, our definitions, our actions, we may be drawn into more wars we dont need to fight, or continue to grant Presidents unbound powers more suited for traditional armed conflicts between nation states.
So I look forward to engaging Congress and the American people in efforts to refine, and ultimately repeal, the AUMFs mandate. And I will not sign laws designed to expand this mandate further. Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue. But this war, like all wars, must end. Thats what history advises. Thats what our democracy demands.

Agreed.
Its good to hear.
Unfortunately, however, as with Guantanamo, this will ultimately be up to Congress, many of whose members fear being labeled soft on terror.
The AUMF was passed by a republican Congress predicated on fear of the angry, frightened voter post 9/11, not facts, reason, or the Constitution.
There is little reason to assume this has changed in this regard.
Where do you get positive change, and why do you put yourself down like that?
Obama opens his mouth and the faithful faint with praise. Positive change, where? What? I see none of it.
I dunno.
You folks are screaming "There no transparency". Yet in this speech, President Obama detailed a covert operation and the reasons behind it. He also admitted to fault with the program.
That's also never happened before.
The moron blew smoke to divert attention from the scandal trifecta over the long weekend. The man sucks.....big time.

Your side accused Bill Clinton of wagging the dog to detract from the Monica Lewinsky scandal when he decided to go after bin Laden. Are they planning to make the same mistake again?
Just because you believe it does not make it true.
Like his comment that drones actually cause less hatred, does he actually have evidence for this, or are we simply supposed to believe him? Can anyone explain why we have to change the rules on drones? Does that mean he was wrong before?

Spot on!
