I can’t believe what I just witnessed, the President of the United States, who, by the way looks like complete shit, giving a speech to the American people talking about how Muslim Americans are our friends and how the 16 mo plan against “ISIL” is working.
Fuck, really?
80% of U.S. sorties return without dropping ordnance because of the strict rules of engagement he has imposed on ISIS targets. We haven’t taken out their oil wells, which funds ISIS to the tune of $1.5 mill per day (fuck you very much Turkey), because of environmental concerns.
Really.
Ahead of a scheduled black tie event with his Hollywood friends, Obama offered the American people a solution, to make sure people on the no fly list cannot buy a gun.
I am not kidding.
It’s worth noting that the killers from San Bernardino were not on the no fly list.
Lastly, he chastised us to “stay true” to American ideals, as if we were all morons from W. Virginia, explaining to us how 99.9% of muslims are good and how ISIS is nothing more than thugs, criminals and do not represent islam.
Seriously?
The fuck.

I was OK with POTUS speech.
Calm your tits down Fly, not good for your heart
why doesn’t he use the obvious option to say screw Turkey and arm the Kurds who could do the job wily nily
We’ve armed and trained the Kurds since the Cheney years if not before – Turks like to kill them tho.
Could not have said it any better. Sincerely, thank you for writing this.
Looks like shit. Spot on.
He looked blazed
The point about not letting no fly fucks buy guns – that is well taken: what is wrong with Republicans that they would want to arm them?
It’s a red herring. Can’t you see Obama doesn’t give a shit about defeating ISIS? All he cares about is banning guns, which would not have saved a single life in the SB shooting. Ted Kennedy was once on the no-fly list. It’s a fucking joke.
Because you get on that list without knowing about it until you try to fly and without any accusation or conviction for anything. Sometimes you get there because your name matches someone else who is on the list. Sen. Ted Kennedy was on the list as was the wife of Sen. Stevens of Alaska, now deceased because she sometime used Cat instead of Catherine Stevens which is the name of a famous person who is, perhaps dubiously, on the list. Steve Hayes, a well known journalist got on the list. It is extremely difficult to get off the list.
We require due process in this country and this is guilty without a trial or anything else. it is unconstitutional to deprive an American of a Constitutional Right without due cause and proceedings.
Besides, the people on this list and, many other lists that would be included by this Democrat law, includes 700,000 people. Do you really think we have 700,000 terrorists in this country?
In addition, people are put on that list not because of what they have done but what the Government predicts they might do. 1984 and Brave New World rolled into one. Here is more information.
No-fly list uses ‘predictive assessments’ instead of hard evidence, US admits
In May filing, Justice Department and FBI officials admit stopping US and other citizens from travelling is based on what the government believes they might do

Thank you and well said.
10-4 – appreciate the response.
There are 12 million muslims in America
Trump will fix this! He’ll make America great again!
The dude is already living on some island playing golf. Teleprompter Prez turned no one is home Prez. A ghost if you will. Where is the exit please.
Remember when Clint Eastwood spoke to Obama at the RNC. I want my empty chair Obama back, much easier to listen to. http://assets.nydailynews.com/polopoly_fs/1.1148694!/img/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/article_970/lupica-8.jpg
Muslims gotta kill people. Thats their religion. Remember a few years back a MD and an engineer tried to blow up Glasgow Airport and failed. When asked why they did it they said the only sure way to salvation is dying a martyr. About 20% of muslims go radical because of this issue.
Trump is behind the 2nd amendment 100%! This is why the Wild West was so safe, nobody f**ed around with Wyatt Earpp!
They really just need to get laid more….
can anybody see a successful terrorist attack in Texas?
Fort Hood
Ft Hood was a “gun free zone”. http://houston.cbslocal.com/2014/04/03/fort-hood-is-a-gun-free-zone/
Where they weren’t allowed to carry guns on base! However, that was workplace violence smh!
This is America, there is no discrimination about who can see this, that or anything in Texas! Hell, the state motto of Texas is “Friendship”! So rest easy!!!
There’s a stereotype of Texans being cowboys with sixshooters on their hips. I think biffer just meant that a state with a more heavily armed citizenry would be a less likely site for an attack.
Your g.d. right there. Reagan was from Texas. If the Gipper had been packing heat on March 30, 1981 I guarantee Hinckley would never have got a shot off. One shot from the Gip, right between the eyes…down goes Hinckley!
And any Texan could see it!
Longview is trolling like crazy here, UB.
Gapfiller – got it
Fly, some of your recent posts have lacked the decorum becoming of a distinguished finance blog. Please adjust your vernacular henceforth.
I’m all for more extensive background checks, but I don’t trust the politicians to set them up. In Obama’s world if you’ve had a parking ticket in the last decade you wouldn’t be able to buy a gun.
I wonder if he knows that everytine he makes a speech like this he droves gun sales up considerably?
They already make the dumbest gun laws, especially here in CA…
I just wish once. A reporter would point out the fact that every crazy eyed, lone wolf shooter in the last 10 years legally passed their background check. They slipped right through the cracks, so what else you got Prez???
These recent events, which are non finance, are too big for me to ignore. I am a steward of the people, after all.
Look at the traffic. You people want it.
When the President of the United States has lost all credibility and shows a total lack of leadership, it’s important to address and document.
