Obama Reassures Americans No Credible Threat of Terror
 Flanked by his national security team, President Obama reassured Americans that there was "no specific, credible threat" against the country ahead of the holidays.
| I think that means that TSHTF sometime tomorrow... |
"We do not have any specific and credible information about an attack on the homeland," Obama said today at the National Counterterrorism Center. "That said, we have to be vigilant."
| Yes, if you see something, say something, unless it's about a Muslim lad with a clock -- then you'll be sued. Or if it's about a Muslim woman because sexist. Or about a Muslim man because racist... |
Obama said security experts are constantly hard at work putting up safeguards to prevent terrorists from entering the country, while at the same time bringing the fight to terrorists plotting overseas.
| See how smoothly he lies? We have virtually no ability to screen the "refugees", airport security is a joke, and we're certainly not taking the fight to ISIS. |
Obama also urged “resilience” in the wake of the attack in San Bernardino, California, calling it “one of our greatest weapons” in the fight against terrorism.
| It would be better both to be resilient and to gob-smack the terrorists... |
“When Americans stand together, nothing can beat us,” Obama said. “We cannot give in to fear or change how we live our lives because that’s what terrorists want, that’s the only leverage they have.”
| Except the progressives have spent the last half-century working to ensure that we never stand together. Ask George Bush about how well the Left stood with him against terrorism... |
It's a similar message to one given in November by the president in the immediate wake of the terror attack in Paris, where he sought to reassure the American people that there was no "specific, credible threat" facing the homeland during the Thanksgiving holiday.
But following the attack in San Bernardino, an ABC News/Washington Post poll out Wednesday showed just 22 percent of Americans express confidence in the government’s ability to prevent lone-wolf terrorist attacks.
| He reassured us right before that attack, as I recall... |
