And We're Supposed to Feel Safe?

.
This is what happens when you have a bunch of politically correct appointees who are more concerned about spin in the press and the Miranda rights of Gitmo detainees than they are about being at war with terrorists. Listen to the clips on the screen but scroll down to read the words of former Vice President Cheney as you listen. (Speaking of VPs, haven't seen Biden lately. I feel like he's due for foot-in-mouth moment.)

Start this first clip only if you believe what she says in the second clip about her statement being taken out of context.





The tone of Obama's remarks below is exactly what Cheney is talking about in the text below this last screen.

Can you imagine this him-hah-um-um-um instilling any confidence in our country or our troups when a more serious incedent happens, and yes, I'm afraid to say I think it is far more likely to happen now that Obama and his likes are in charge than it was during the eight Bush-Cheney years. Seriously, the president sounds like the SNL version of himself; he sounds like a college professor telling a bunch of freshmen what will be on the semester exam. He does not sound like a president whose administration and Homeland Security Secretary just dropped the ball with 300 innocent lives at stake. Heaven help us!



"As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low-key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of Sept. 11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.

“He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core Al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency — social transformation — the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war." Vice President Cheney
