Washington is reveling this week in one of its oldest traditions – dissecting a Bob Woodward book that analyzes the sitting president. While much focus will be given to what one senior official said about another senior official, there is real news that deserves the bulk of the attention. Specifically, President Barack Obama’s shocking statement to Woodward that “we [America] can absorb another terrorist attack.â€
He goes on to say: “We’ll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever…we absorbed it and we are stronger.â€
This statement demonstrates our Commander-in-Chief’s cavalier and frightening approach to national security, which apparently is based in the notion our country will ultimately “absorb†terrorist attacks, rather than prevent them.

I, for one, am NOT willing to "absorb" another terrorist attack. If that were to happen, you can bet that there will be hell to pay for the perpetrators and their ilk. The Japanese & German internment camps will seem mild in comparison. Imagine, some 80 MILLION pissed off gun owners....

absorb another terrorist attack? What does obozo think this Nation is? A frickin sponge? Would he be ok if one of his daughters was part of that sponge?

Post a message on the forums tomorrow just so that we know you're still free, and with us, okay, Pyro. :tongue:
Every time this POTUS opens his mouth, it offends me. It wouldn't matter if he yawned on camera, and didn't say a word. Chances are, my nose would wrinkle.
If there is another terror attack on the scale of 9/11 or bigger (especially on "The One's" watch) things are going to get very bad very quickly. I hate to say it, but violence will break out, and people will want blood. ESPECIALLY if Obama doesn't handle it like a President should. Like Bush did (Chances of that happening are very...very slim)
The deeper we get into this Presidency, the honest to God more scared I get.

two things.
The POTUS is taking ques from Isreal...they get hit and keep turning the other cheek.
Was this a statement on his ideals or a clandestine message designed to be leaked to some organization?

Nope it's from Bob Woodwards new book.

I think the first two paragraphs of the quote are from Woodward, and the third is Heritage's somewhat-spun take on it. The first two paragraphs are correct in a literal, not-for-public-consumption kind of way reserved for candid strategy discussions.
I take it to mean 'Yes, there will be future successful terrorist attacks, no matter how hard we try to prevent them, inevitably, but no, no such attack could actually destroy us as a nation, either.'
A strategic truism, unless we want to live in the kind of screwed-down-tight police state Saddam tried to run; still it's definitely not the kind of thing you want attributed to your mouth by the press while you're still President.

I'm hoping that it was a poor choice words and phrasing on Lord Zero's part. It does sort of give the impression that he would let an attack happen without retaliation.

Has anyone noticed, that if Obama doesn't have prepared answers and speeches...that if he answers the random question having to use his own thought processes, he comes off pretty damn dumb?
Scary.
No wonder he always has TOTUS with him....keeps him from sounding like a total idiot!

Ergo very few live Whitehouse press conferences without previously submitted questions.

To use a phrase that gets a glare of burning hatred from my wife if one of the kids or I say it to her,
"No DUH!"
:rotf:

Obama keeps digging his grave to not be elected again which doesn't hurt my feelings
-
Hey Dumbo, why don't you just resign so America can get on with being prosperous and being safe again? How's that sound, you anti-American piece of garbage?!? :bird: :censored:
-
So, the "death by a thousand cuts" strategy from our enemy is acceptable to Obama. I'm sure they are thrilled that he has started running cover for their long-term strategy now.

Who is this "WE" he's talking about? Him and his group of commies? Him and Me-Shell? Who?....that "WE" better not include me and mine cause I ain't willing to absorb a damn thing from the F****ing Muslims.

Almost sounds like dumbo is saying he wants us to get attacked again. Either that, or he's saying that there's nothing we can do to stop another attack. (If it weren't for ordinary citizens, there would have been 2 successful attacks on us, the underwear bomber and the Times Square bomber.)
Did I ever mention how much I despise this guy?! :bird: :censored:
-
Can you imagine the heads a'splodin if Bush had said this?
OMFG. I cannot wait to vote this tool out of office.
-
O'Bumbler didn't absorb shit! He's not anything close to American either, at least in my definition of the word!
ETA:
And while it's on my mind, I want a Pres with an American name, too! Somethin' like John, or Lyndon, Gerald, or yes, even Jimmah, or Bill! Of course, George or Ronald always works, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barack? Hussien? Obama??????????? Not so much!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Huh? I don't think America can take another one.

That's what I am thinking too. It probably does not even have to be 9/11 or worse, it takes like what happened at Beslan in 2004. When children are involved, that really upsets people.

Absol****in'lutely!!!
As a matter of fact, I think right now she may be the only one with the cajones to do what needs to be done! Is she electable? I doubt it. I would rather see a male with the fortitude she has, just because she has too many enemy's on both sides!
The next presidency is goin' to be a restoration of the public trust. It sure as hell has been stolen from them in a mere 18 months! We need an individual who can do that. Right now, I believe that to be the male of the species.
ETA:
If she is on the ticket with this male I profess, I think she would be a shoe in when her time comes! Now, however, is not the time.

You my friend, deserve a H5 for those remarks! :hi5: :cheersmate:

Hey Obambi. How about you absorb another "shut the **** up." That's the kind of subject you put a facade for. At least have people think you are in possession of a spine rather than saying "oh well."
