So much wasted air!

So, President Obama talked more about terrorism and our resolve.

"President Barack Obama said on Thursday that U.S. intelligence professionals did not have any specific or credible information about a pending attack on the United States, but warned Americans to remain vigilant going into the holiday season."

Vigilant is good - but prepared to act is also good.  And remember that the Attorney General promises to prosecute anyone who says bad things about any minority.  Situational awareness is important - but sadly the vast majority of our citizenry, including our president, seem pretty clueless most of the time.

"Obama, speaking to reporters during a visit with advisers at the National Counterterrorism Center outside Washington, said the United States had prevailed over much greater threats and would prevail over this as well."

No clear plan here, just a feel good "We can do it".  That's a community organizer for you.  It's a "Trust us" message.  Of course, it is SNAFU.

""When terrorists pull off a despicable act like what happened in San Bernardino, it tears at our hearts, but it also stiffens our resolve to learn whatever lessons we can and to make any improvements that are needed," he said."

Seems to me the only lesson learned was that one should never let a good crisis, a tragic killing, go to waste in the service of their agenda.  The only lesson seemingly learned was "This gives us a chance to take the most effective means of protection away from law-abiding citizens."

There was a time when I was an Obama supporter - voted for him twice in fact.  There was a time when I thought he was intelligent enough to back up his oratory with sound and effective action.  All these years later I have had to admit that what others told me was true - this was a man who was not and is not ready for the task at hand.  He leads the country like a community organizer, divisive, polarizing, seeking to capitalize on the "anger of the oppressed", but with no real plan for dealing with the true challenges in the world today.  He sees our biggest problem as people might say mean things about other people.  He has not solutions or even creative things to try.

In over his head, he is.
