President Obama’s unnerving happy talk

By Dana Milbank   Opinion writer   September 2 at 3:41 PM

President Obama is not worried. And that is unnerving.

British Prime Minister David Cameron presented to Parliament on Monday the alarming conclusions of European leaders who had met in Brussels over the weekend: “The European Council believes the creation of an Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria and the Islamist extremism and export of terrorism on which it is based is a direct threat to every European country.”

Cameron added: “To confront the threat of Islamist extremism, we need a tough, intelligent, patient and comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. We must use all the resources at our disposal, our aid, our diplomacy and our military.”

But three days earlier — the day Britain raised its terrorism threat level to “severe” — Obama delivered a very different message when he spoke to donors at a fundraiser in New York’s Westchester County. “Yes, the Middle East is challenging, but the truth is it’s been challenging for quite a while,” he said. “I promise you things are much less dangerous now than they were 20 years ago, 25 years ago or 30 years ago. This is not something that is comparable to the challenges we faced during the Cold War.”

Speaking to another group of contributors that same day in Newport, R.I., the president said that the post-9/11 security apparatus “makes us in the here and now pretty safe” and that the threat from ISIS “doesn’t immediately threaten the homeland.”

It's as if he's running from a script that's in his mind--and there's no deviations for any reason.

“Yes, the Middle East is challenging, but the truth is it’s been challenging for quite a while,” he said. “I promise you things are much less dangerous now than they were 20 years ago, 25 years ago or 30 years ago. This is not something that is comparable to the challenges we faced during the Cold War.”

The world is a dangerous place and Obama is doing everything he can do to make it more dangerous.  There may not be a cold war with Russia, but Obama's weakness may just turn it into a hot war.

He is a SCOAMF

He looks about as in-touch and on top of things as Hitler in the movie 'Downfall.'

 we need a tough, intelligent approach, but we have a weak moron for president.

Obama's connection to reality is either broken or malign. Neither augur good things for the coming 3 years.

If he loses the senate in November,  I think his psychosis will fully manifest itself.
