You may have heard Obama say recently that it is “ridiculous” that terrorists can legally purchase guns in this country. His statements refer to the lack of a provision in gun law that explicitly bars those on terror watchlists from obtaining firearms.
Following his logic, that the terror watchlist is in fact a list of known terrorists, he might have some explaining to do, as no less than 72 Homeland Security officials show up on the supposed terrorist list.
Will Obama admit that, by his own logic, men working within his own Department of Homeland Security are terrorists? Or will he shrug off the notion that terror watchlists are imprecise lists that contain many non-violent U.S. citizens?
He’ll probably do neither. Logic never seems to come quick to President Obama. He’ll likely ignore the fact that those among him fall on the list, while continuing to restrict gun rights to as many Americans as humanly possible.
See the report yourself on the next page:
The 72 at DHS probably are terrorists.
I would not trust the government to do anything right any more……same news every day….
Many with the TSA are on that list too!!!!
The buck is supposed to stop with him. You are right that it’s not his job to personally supervise the screening and hiring. However it is absolutely his job to make certain hiring and screening practices are followed and when they obviously are not, take corrective action. He has filled so many slots with middle easterners and Muslims that it doesn’t look good. Then to find that more than a few in Homeland Security are under suspicion looks worse than bad. We sure as hell deserve better and it is a shame this kind of thing was not dealt with a long time ago.
Is Obozo on the list?

The article says 72 employees. It does not say officials.
This just illustrates why the list is no good.
I don’t they know their butts from a hole in the ground!
As always, no one who calls himself “truth” is ever telling it.
I wonder if these 72 are Virgins?
