President Obama’s attempts to deflect blame for the wave of jihadist terror enveloping the globe are not working, and even he is starting to realize it.
Eager reporters have trailed Obama from Cuba to Argentina in order to ask him about the barbaric attacks that shook Brussels earlier this week. Almost as if he was just going through the motions, the President made a brief statement and gave inconclusive answers about the bombings to reporters in Havana, apparently thinking that settled the matter.
But this was not enough for journalists, who continued to hound Obama for a more definitive answer as to the question of Brussels and the wider threat it represents. Clearly annoyed by the persistence of the press, Obama prefaced his newest statement with a smart-aleck remark.
“I addressed this issue a little bit at the baseball game when I was interviewed by ESPN,” he said, as if the reporters were being disrespectful or even stupid for pursuing the matter. But it was what he said next that made many smack their foreheads in exasperation.
See what Obama said about ISIS on the next page:
It might be hard to imagine, but the president simply doesn’t believe that ISIS is an existential threat to the US. How do we know this? Because he straight-out said so. No wonder he didn’t seem bothered at all when ESPN asked him about the bombings at the Havana baseball game:
“Their primary power — in addition to killing innocent lives — is to strike fear in our societies,” he added. “It is very important for us to not respond with fear.”
Earlier in the press conference, Obama showed displeasure when an Associated Press reporter asked whether the Brussels attacks “changed anything.”
“I’ve got a lot of things on my plate,” he responded before assuring reporters his top priority is “to eliminate the scourge of this barbaric terrorism that’s been taking place around the world.”

ISIS is, yet again, a JV team:

I am more convinced than ever.. that Donald Trump WILL actually win this thing. Not just the Republican nomination — the Presidency.
Its all coming together and the Establishment is petrified!
Trump has a perfectly plausible path to the presidency as a Republican. If he makes it to the White House, he’ll get there by taking the Upper Midwest back from the Democratic Party.
When President Barack Obama was re-elected in 2012, he ran up the score in the Electoral College, winning 25 states, good for 332 total electoral votes. His victory was thorough. He only needed 270 electoral votes to win, and President George W. Bush had taken just 286 in his 2004 re-election.
To secure the presidency, Democrats only have to win the Northeast, the West Coast, and the Upper Midwest, including Iowa.
Do you know that just four states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. … the four Rust Belt states account for 64 electoral votes. Even if Floridians, Iowans, Coloradans and all of the other swing states go to Hillary, failure to capture the Upper Midwest will be enough to hand the White House over to Trump.
Trump is not a loser like Shitt Romney. His chances of winning swing states like Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico — are extremely high as the polls suggest! He might even win New York, Massachusetts and new Jersey.
But he doesn’t need them to win. All he has to do is carry the Rust Belt — a region perfectly attuned to Trump’s fiery denunciations of American trade policy and his angry condemnation of Washington corruption. While Loser Shitt Romney hailed free trade, globalization and “creative destruction,” Trump rails against the North American Free Trade Agreement and promises to bring jobs back home.
Who signed NAFTA into law? That would be former President Bill Clinton. Hillary Clinton can’t be held responsible for everything her husband did in office. But don’t think you won’t hear it on repeat this fall anyway.
Hillary Clinton’s inconsistency on trade has, thus far, only proven to be a liability for her among progressives. Republican leaders have broadly supported the trade policies that began under her husband — NAFTA, the creation of the World Trade Organization and the establishment of permanent normal trade relations with China. If Trump wins the GOP nomination, he will be the first Republican in decades to challenge a Democratic candidate on trade.
And he will. His constant tirades against China and Mexico will go into overdrive, and he will constantly attack Clinton’s back-and-forth record. Clinton currently opposes Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact with a host of Asian nations, but she helped negotiate it when she served as secretary of state, and top corporate lobbyists doubt the strength of her opposition.
Another fact to consider: The Rust Belt is disproportionately white. While there are pockets of color — in Philadelphia, Flint, Detroit, Milwaukee — the states are much whiter than the national average. America is 62 percent white, according to census data. Michigan, by contrast, is over 75 percent white, and Pennsylvania’s population is more than 77 percent white. More than 80 percent of Ohio is white, as is over 82 percent of Wisconsin.
Even people of color in the Upper Midwest feel personally targeted by the last 30 years of U.S. economic policy. Visit a Trump rally or check out the photos and videos of Trump gatherings, and you’ll get the idea. The Working folks are angry and disgusted by WASHINGTON DC AND THE ELITES.
Ok Rino Republicans pushed by the Party lost Ohio in the last two elections and haven’t won any of the other Upper Midwest states since the election of George H. W. Bush in 1988, and they haven’t taken Wisconsin since Ronald Reagan’s re-election. But in recent years, the GOP has nevertheless secured gubernatorial contests in all four states. The current governors of Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan are all Republicans, and Pennsylvania had a GOP governor until last year. So they say it won’t be easy for Trump to run that table, but it is doable.
Despite a crowded Republican field, Trump took more voters in New Hampshire than Clinton did in a two-way race. The combined Granite State turnout for Trump and fellow GOP hopefuls John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie was bigger than the collective vote total for Clinton and Sanders. Add in supporters of Republican candidates Carly Fiorina, Ben Carson and Rand Paul, and the numbers look even better for the GOP.
A study of voters from Cleveland and Pittsburgh conducted by Working America, an offshoot of the AFL-CIO labor federation, should compound those concerns. The union group surveyed working-class households making less than $75,000 a year, 90 percent of which had voted in the 2012 election. Although 53 percent of voters in the December-to-January survey had not decided on a general election candidate, Trump was crushing the competition among those who had. Trump’s 38 percent support was stronger than support for both Clinton and Sanders combined. And his backing wasn’t simply from hard-line conservatives. One in four Democrats who had settled on a candidate had decided on Trump.
SO WHEN THE ANTI TRUMP ELEMENTS IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AS A WHOLE SAY THAT TRUMP HAS NO CHANCE!!!
I say to them…. “YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET!
Only bull c**p on his plate.
My goodness I feel so bad for muricans having such a fktard for a leader, without a TelePrompTer and written speech he sounds like a 4th grade retard trying to speak for the first time. Yesterday his main priority was baseball in Cuba, the day before climate change was the worlds number one threat. Can’t someone please take him out…
The lamest duck.
