Obama Dragged To Address Terror Threat, "Kicking & Screaming"
2015-12-13
[DC Whispers] Immediately after the San Bernardino terror attack, the President of the United States was said to be initially interested in the events to the point of outright excitement for the opportunity to once again make a call for enhanced federal gun control measures -- which he did.

Within hours of the attack it became clear to federal officials that Islamic terror played an integral role.

Once that was known, Mr. Obama's enthusiasm is said to have "waned considerably." And then when the L.A. FBI office went public with calling San Bernardino a terrorist attack, both Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett went into "warpath mode."

Jarrett's displeasure was apparently first to make itself known. She was outraged the FBI had done so without first getting prior approval from her. Jarrett was said to be particularly concerned with the proximity of the FBI's terror designation and the president's quick words on calling for more gun control measures soon after the actual San Bernardino terror attack.

They're making us look like fools!"

The focus of the White House's ire soon became FBI Director, James Comey.

Some of that conflict was outlined earlier here: BREAKING: Obama/Jarrett Warn FBI Director Over Anti-Muslim Tone

At one point, the president is said to have flung several papers onto the floor of the Oval Office as he sat behind his desk stewing over Director's Comey's now-infamous terrorist attack remarks.

"This was supposed to be a gun issue for us, not some anti-Islamic bullsh*t!"

#14  @#12

I believe Obumble and his ilk will do everything they can to manufacture one so they can declare martial law and do whatever the heck they want.

#12  I am way to humble, and to addicted to the 'burg, to believe that I'm the only one that saw through this traitorous clique from day 1.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if a violent revolution does not begin in the next 12 months.

#11  I hope ValJar has a huge pile of money to pay for her security. Because she isn't eligible for Secret Service protection post Obammers term.

#10  As the end draws nigh, the mask slips more and more and the nature of the ValJar/Champ presidency and its agendas show more and more...
think back to how many at the beginning of his run asked questions that were dismissed as ridiculous that now seem so obvious.

#8  Fools and thin skinned petty tyrants.

If they keep going as they are, they won't make it to the end of 2016 to leave peacefully.

#7  It's becoming ever more clear how much Obama hates Israel.
Posted by: Deacon Blues   2015-12-13 11:50  

#6  During the intense back and forth among speech writers and Jarrett, was a moment where Barack Obama is said to have pointed defiantly at Jarrett and declared, “This is just as much an Israel problem as it is a gun problem! Nobody wants to say it, but it’s true!”

Huh?

#5  What happens when the imperial staff start worrying about their own safety (and that of their families) over obeying ever more irrational direction from the emperor's inner circle? What happens when they stop obeying the decrees? What happens when self preservation means looking beyond 2016?

Easy pickins. Not a hard task to make fools look like fools.

#3  highly stupid to link san bernadino to gun control

Islamist terrorists had a pipe bomb factory

so you kill 2 campaigns by making it look exploitative of the tragedy

especially as everyone can see that the Islamists would have just used the pipe bombs if they did not have guns

That's because you are fools.

I decided to finally read that copy of the Quran that I had CAIR mail to me on their dime a few months after 9/11. I'm 23 pages in. I understand that the word kufr does not mean nonbeliever, but rather 'those who deny the truth'. Someone explain to me why I should bother to read further.
