Obama: “There are no existential threats” to US, not even the Islamic State

Jan 12, 2016 4:57 pm By Robert Spencer

These are words that are likely to be recalled bitterly in the coming years.

“President Obama: ‘There Are No Existential Threats’ to the United States,” by Alex Griswold, Mediaite, January 12th, 2016:

In an interview with NBC’s Today on the morning of his final State of the Union address, President Barack Obama told interviewer Matt Lauer that the United States didn’t face a single existential threat as his presidency approached its end.

“It is sometimes important for people to step back and measure how far we’ve come,” Obama argued. “The economy right now is better than any other economy in the world by a significant margin. We remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are no existential threats facing us.”

“If we make some good choices now, whoever the next president is, whoever is controlling the next Congress there, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t own the 21st century,” he said.

Lauer went on to ask Obama specifically about the threat posed by ISIS and other terror groups. “Your daughters are young ladies. When they get to be your age, President Obama, do you believe in your heart that they will be living in a world that is dealing with the threat of radical Islam on a daily basis?”

“I am absolutely confident we will have defeated ISIL,” Obama responded. “I don’t think we have to wait until they are 54 for that to happen.”

    What an idiot!

    • Oliver says

      Jan 12, 2016 at 5:14 pm

      That, in my opinion, Sam, is putting it mildly. Very mildly.

      We have the strongest economy? With a debt that is ridiculously high; a bureaucracy run amok. The lowest percentage of working age people in the labor force in about 50 to 60 (perhaps more) years.

      A weakened military, and a hamstrung intelligence service.

      We are screwing our (few remaining) friends, helping our enemies; making back room deals with terrorist states (Iran; Cuba); and the list goes on.

      And we have defeated ISIS? In whose dreams? We don’t even bomb their supply routes and supply vehicles- hey, might kill a civilian. (Or a terrorist without his or weapon ahndy).

      • Wellington says

        Jan 12, 2016 at 9:07 pm

        Agreed, Oliver. Well, this is what can be expected from those who foolishly voted for the guy who in 2008 talked incessantly of sentimentally nonsensical hope and change and who also wanted “a fundamental transformation of America.”

        Obama has been all wrong for America (e.g., putting America more in debt in just eight years than all other Presidents combined, from Washington onwards), actually an enemy of most everything America has stood for——and for all the West as well (e.g., a capacity to admit to wrongdoing and make amends for such wrongdoings, which the Islamic world, that Obama has defended ad nauseam, has never shown a capacity for). He has never grasped the greatness of Western Civilization, of America in particular, and never will. In short, he is just another modern leftist, which is to say a fool. Unfortunately for America and the entire West, he is a very powerful fool.

        Indeed, this very limited man harbors resentment to the West to this very day. His despicable arrogance extends so far that I think it actually claimable that Obama believes that the office of the Presidency of the United States of America is beneath him. Yes, he’s this ignorant, clueless, arrogant and, what is worse, harmful. Immensely harmful. What he has wrought will take decades to undo, and this will only be done if America ceases producing mediocrities aplenty who keep denying that elephant in the room————–Islam, all of it.

        Perhaps he is telling the truth (I know that is far fetched) . I mean since he and Hillary created and direct Isis, he could be calling off the attack dogs and therefore he is not lying or delusional. Like George from Seinfeld says ” If you believe it Jerry is it really a lie?”

    I have never heard of the word “Existential.”

    Per Merriam-Webster, it means:

    Definition of existential

    Popularity: Top 10% of words

    1
    1
    : of, relating to, or affirming existence

    2
    a : grounded in existence or the experience of existence : empirical

    b : having being in time and space

    3 [translation of Danish eksistentiel & German existential]
    : existentialist

    xxxx

    So is this what Obama meant: “the USA didn’t face a single existing threat?”

    If this is the case, I wonder what planet our president is on.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 14, 2016 at 7:56 pm

      Thomas, in this context the word “existential” threat means a threat to our existence–more broadly, it simply means a serious threat.

    Jan 12, 2016 at 5:28 pm

    Obama was asked: “do you believe in your heart that they will be living in a world that is dealing with the threat of radical Islam on a daily basis?”

    Obama’s evasion to the question is unconvincing. He talked about ‘ISIL’, rather than ‘RADICAL ISLAM’ which is showing no signs of disappearing, but to the control, Muslim youth appear more and more radicalized every day.

    The interviewer had a fine, well-worded question, but did not followup and try to pin down the evasion.

    Pity.

    There are no existential threats to the Islamic State of America. You just need to pick up the drift and the thought that is in Obama’s mind as he deceives the world. When are we going to get realistic? George Washington knew when the British were shafting America. When will we understand our duty?

      It would seem to be so simple, yet with the political leadership that is in place, just opposing B ho is not enough. Gop congressional leadership is not responding to the will of the people, instead to the “triumph of the will”, B ho’s will. What would shake Mitch?

        Or did you hear another liberal lecturing you that you’re not welcoming enough. Apolagizing for us bad republicans, just like Obama apologized around the world for America.

        And her choice of words: “the loudest voices”? I happen to remember Obama using that phrase, maybe she didn’t think we’d remember.

        As far as I’m concerned, Nikki Haley can go to hell and take Ryan with her.

When they get to be your age, President Obama, do you believe in your heart that they will be living in a world that is dealing with the threat of radical Islam on a daily basis?…”

    Good question from Lauer however it still skirts around the fundamental problem of unreformed traditional Islam which at present fuels the global Jihad. By referring to radical Islam Lauer perpetuates the fiction that defeating this militant group or that militant group, liquidating this violent individual or that violent individual, will draw this chapter to a close. Obama in reply only needs to focus on action against bad guys and bad groups without having to address the very deep well from which they are all drawn.

An organization that instructs its members to target our civilians, military and police for murder is not an existential threat?

    The SOTU was a severe disappointment by a leader who doesn’t know the difference between powerful leadership and a powerful military. He still thinks that the military can end terrorism when we see, only too well, that the nations which the US and Orthodox Islam military power have essentially ruined have become the very exporters of terrorists and the home of ISIS and other terrorists. He is fighting a diffuse ideology that hides among the “moderates” with a physical army that doesn’t speak the language or know the ideology – an excercise in insanity. The US Chiefs of Staff must realize it by now.

    Europe cannot remove the terrorists that are pouring into it by military means. In fact, if the male citizens of Europe won’t protect their women and families, their safety of life is over, replaced by fear and declining quality. New Years in Cologne was a test by Islam of how accessible German women will be by force.

    I hope fellow posters won’t take offense by my suggesting that providing a military umbrella for Europe past the USSR breakup, accompanied by a feminist movement that made men redundant in the mind of women, and ridiculously PC government policies, have disenfranchised European males and made them unprepared to protect their society.

    The New Year celebration in Cologne illustrated that neither the police or miltary will be able to deal with male Islamic pathology in Europe. If the citizens, particularly males, won’t provide the first-line defense for their families and neighborhoods then Europe will become just another “(use your own term for for a failed muslim state, here)”.

    The message from the US POTUS was clear: other than military bombing and trying to push out Assad, the US will be doing nothing that is associated with resisting Islam.

    Europe, you’re on your own with some of your governments working hard for cultural suicide. We will always remember the great citizens that produced art, literature, music, and intellectual accomplishments on whose shoulders we stand today. Sometimes, like with Socrates, government throws away its Golden Geese to maintain a fiction.

And I’m so sick of obama’s pathetic LIES. I could barely stomach listening to his bs speech about islam. I can’t wait until he’s gone, and it’s hard to believe that we’ve had to put up with this lying snake for as long as we’ve had to. Oh, and please don’t vote for Hillary. Heavens no!

Walking around Marienplatz and Kaufhauser Strasse I saw women in burkas all over the place, some those severe kind where there are slits for eyes and a mouth sealed with a golden symbol. Brussels is already almost overtaken with Islamists and Germany will continue to decline, social unrest, more molesting young European women because they should not be out walking around without head coverings.

      He mocked America last night, as he always does. He has made a nice living at finding fault with America, just as much as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made a nice living at keeping racial tensions high. Really, these types are all just opportunistic creeps. They couldn’t go out and make a living by starting a company so they found a little niche to capitalize on. There was enough hatred of America swirling around that barach says, hey, I think I can make this work for me. Look, he just wanted a little distribution of wealth, like he told the plumber, so what?

      And he’ll be a billionaire, if they don’t arrest him for treason for all the destruction and death on HIS WATCH.

      There has never been so much trauma in America than under this man. And he gets up and says this happens too often in this country so we gotta take your guns.

      Wait a minute–THESE ALL HAPPENED UNDER HIS WATCH AND MANY HE WAS PRACTICALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR!!

      Oh and nikki haley? I tried to listen but was so confused, looking for the REBUTTAL. I thought she was going to cry talking about immigrants that just want a better world for their children. What world is she living in?

      Here’s a woman that doesn’t GET IT, in my opinion. Further, I think she wanted Obama to like her for her rebuttal–just my opinion.

      She had no authority to ban a flag about American history and yet they pulled that STUNT off without a hitch. And the morons in the Republican party decide SHE is the ONE, right? What does THAT tell you. I doubt that she is very revered in her state, except in certain circles. To me, she talks like a mini-dictator that doesn’t understand the American way.

      Why did nobody question the MOTIVE in the South Carolina killing in a church? Does anybody remember how the blacks were burning down the nation? Couldn’t an unstable white Christian become unhinged by the constant media attention to Ferguson, Baltimore, and all the other cities that were burning?

      You should never let cities burn in America because it will incite people when they see their country burning to the ground. Nutcases will react and there was never any reason for that crap to go on for weeks.

          I didin’t watch the State of the Union and didn’t care too. I am completely fed up with Obama’s hauteur, arrogance, and annoyance at any and all who disagree and won’t listen to any more of it. As for Nikki Haley’s response, maybe we can see it as another reason to heed old Johnnie Knox’s _Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment [government] of Women_. Dunno.

          However, this [mostly] white man isn’t going to throw rocks willy nilly at his his black neighbors. When I was assaulted by a young black hoodlum in the course of my teaching duties, a number of black students, colleagues, and law enforcement people came through for me. The Charleston shooting was a crime; and if Dylan Roof is a Christian, I pray God grants him genuine repentance (and I won’t complain if he draws the death penalty). Further, I suspect that a bunch of people in a Christian midweek prayer meeting probably weren’t planning to burn down a store or rob the neighbors. Sure, I condemn rather than “understand” the burning of our cities, both in the 1960’s and the 2010’s. But there are just too many people whom I like and respect living in dark skins. Criminals are criminals, whether black or white (or other demographic).

          Kepha,

          Couldn’t agree more with most of what you said. I didn’t say these wonderful people were responsible for burning cities; quite the opposite.

          However, don’t you think a misguided young white person could be affected by all of the media? I’m not saying this was the case, but I suspect that he had something in his craw against blacks, and it wasn’t all sheer racism.

          Death penalty? Well, you cannot condone the despicable, or you will have more despicable and that’s what our laws are for, to prevent the break down of all of society.

          But I do think that the kid gloves that Obama and Holder used were completely reprehensible, both for the people of Ferguson, who had done nothing wrong and the poor black business people who lost so much. Everyone had their lives turned upside down and I sure hope the next president will reign in violence, rather than promote it.

          If you read my post, my answer to many problems is to build bridges between the races. Not PC garbage imposed by the law, but in society at large. Black people have such spirit, as you saw in South Carolina. It was truly amazing to see the forgiveness they showed, that I agree with Nikki Haley about.

          Good grief, Kepha. Yes, Nikki Haley is a fool–but no more so than all too many clueless men.

          Really, our main problem is not women daring to speak. Were that true, Obama would not be such a danger. Do you really consider him a better leader than Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meir purely because of his gender?

        Didn’t Nikki haley become governor ( then elected in her own right) when her husband disappeared, ( while governor) and supposedly hiking in the Appalachian Mountains- was in South America with his mistress? And had to resign. (Well, he wasn’t getting sucked in the Governor’s mansion, so I guess could not sty in office). (And she was not a citizen, nor have a green card). If

    There was one thing missing from the speech last night.

    There was no truthteller yelling LIAR!

    (I heard he was uninvited)

    Personally, I boycotted–how many lies can one head process!

    He is not sincere, as hard as he tries to SOUND sincere, everything that comes out of his mouth is hatefulness against America.

    THE AUDACITY TO STAND THERE AND SAY THAT ISIS ARE JUST KILLERS!

    KILLERS HAVE A MOTIVE. HE’S A LAWYER!

    Hey Barach, between joints you must remember hearing that word.

    The direct hits to Cruz and Trump were TYPICAL.

    Obama, being the BULLY that he is, had to go right after Cruz and Trump about carpet-bombing civilians.

    Of course he had to attack the Iraq War and make that out to be the worst thing ever. In revisionist history, saddam is a great guy–wait and see how he is turned into the ice-cream man.

    So it was all very typical but don’t Americans get sick of his mocking of your typical American who happens to believe that force should be used to stop evil?

    And all the while, ten navy men, two ships and sensitive equipment is sitting in Iran. That’s rich!

  25. shortfattexan says

    Well, it is true that The Caliphate (ISIS) is not an existential threat to the US.

    However, Islam, taken as a whole, is absolutely an existential threat, not just to the US, but to the entire West.

    Violent jihad is not, and never has been, our biggest problem. At its absolute worst (which is admittedly very, very bad), violent jihad can never completely destroy the US. Kill a lot of people, yes; destroy a lot of property, yes; but annihilate the US entirely, no.

    Stealth jihad, on the other hand, without a doubt does indeed have the ability to utterly destroy the United States. Not only can it destroy the US, I would go so far as to say that it has already begun that process – if America continues down the same road it is travelling now, if significant changes are not made, then the US cannot possibly survive.

    Like a car heading toward a cliff, if the cliff is still a long way off, a slight course change will be enough to avoid destruction. But the closer the car gets to the precipice, the more drastic the change needs to be. The more Muslims we allow into this country, the more difficult it will be to solve the problem, because solving the problem (and saving ourselves) requires actions that are distasteful to most Americans. Eventually, if the car does not change course, it will get so close to the precipice that it will no longer be able to turn away – the force of inertia will overpower the car’s ability to steer quickly enough.

    For a good look at a frightening (and frighteningly probable) future, check out this article from the keyboard of the ever-sagacious Daniel Greenfield: http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2014/06/election-2048.html.

    In the novel Caliphate, by Tom Kratman, America finally acknowledges the fact that a state of war exists between itself and Islam, and begins conducting that war in earnest. Unfortunately, in the process, the US transforms itself into a police state where freedom is nonexistent. As bad as Mr. Kratman’s fictional America of the future is, I believe it may actually be a best case scenario, or at least a best plausible case. Because (getting back to the car analogy) I find it unlikely that America will be willing to accept any course changes until the last possible moment, by which time the changes will need to be very drastic indeed.

      I agree with your analogy. We still have a distinct advantage at the moment, due to the migrant invasion into Europe, to watch a car crash and decide to decelerate soon. Also, thanks for the reference to the novel.

      It at this point appears that the shooting victim in Calgary (attacked by muslims while in a nightclub), had no contact in any way, shape or firm with the shooter. So yes, this was likely an act of terrorism, committed by muslims, who just HAPPENED to follow suggestions from ISIS… Gee, you look to be wrong.

    Of course, didn’t you see the “pick up with men in back”, as Obama called ISIS–yeah, just a JV team don’t ya know.

    Did Obama mention the Christian Genocide???

    • Richard says

      Jan 13, 2016 at 1:45 pm

      “Did Obama mention the Christian Genocide???”

      No but he did say “We don’t need to build them [Islamic State] up to show that we’re serious”

      He’s done a very good job at that. He has very effectively shown that he is not serious and thus not built them up.

      My god can you imagine how they would have been built up if the US had shown it was serious in destroying the Islamic State?

      And he did say “nor do we need to push away vital allies [ vital allies not Britain, western Europe, Israel, but Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia, Iran etc] in this [non serious] fight by echoing the lie that ISIL is representative of one of the world’s largest religions [I wonder what that is? Buddhism?].”

      You can’t fault him for springing to the defence of Islam always. He has said that he considers that one of his duties as President of the United States. Maybe he thinks that’s his only duty, besides playing golf.

    Nikki Haley is so proud of herself today on all the shows and being praised for not attacking Obama and instead attacking the republicans–the loudest voices.

    Well, it seems that she had quite a loud voice when she demanded the removal of an American historical flag!!!

    That flag did not kill anyone. When you have cities burning and you are completely inept in dealing with this, you rattle people’s nerves and then an environment is created that causes violence, especially racial violence.

    Obama should never have encouraged Ferguson. The outside protesters should have been thrown out–period and charged with terrorism.

    All the violence in this country has come down to Obama and his propping up of the bad guys and walking all over law abiding americans.

  34. Panmelia says

    Jan 13, 2016 at 1:28 pm

    Here in England, I sat and laughed (sardonically, not happily) at Obama’s “there is no threat to our existence” schlock. Someone probably claimed that just before the Japs bombed Pearl Harbour. When that interviewer asked about his daughters’ future, I had a clear vision of them wearing full body burkhas, not by choice, but by oppression.
    Still, the way things are going, it’s more likely to happen in Europe first after Smirkel let in 1m muslims to start the islamic revolution. One thousand migrants have already started the ball rolling by sexually assaulting, beating and raping innocent German women on New Year’s Eve.
    New Dictionary definition: “to do an Obama” – “to exude a sickening amount of complacency, arrogance, hubris and incompetence”.

      Try to forgive the moronic Americans that fell for this snake oil salesman. If you watched his campaign you saw the women fainting and you knew something was up and it wasn’t gonna be good.

      In England you probably didn’t get an apology (as you are an oppresser) but I think you got a bust back, if I’m not mistaken.

      Barach Insane Obama acts like he has no clue that we despise what he has done to our country and that we know what he is up to.

      I think his legacy will not be the one he wanted-if he even goes away.

  37. Oppressaphobe says

    Jan 13, 2016 at 3:09 pm

    America wants a faithful president, like a wife wants a faithful husband.

    Barach is more concerned with other countries (like the unfaithful husband and other women).

    He puts THEM before US.

    So did Nikki Haley, in my opinion.

    It may not even be because Obama is a muslim, raised in muslim countries,went to muslim schools, etc..

    It is more likely that Obama is tied in with the same crowd that the BUSHES were tied into.

    They know what side their bread is buttered on and that’s that.

    Newt Gingrich has nothing to talk about Obama being a traitor ever, because he is typical of our politicians, who run all over the world, looking to make money off their political connections.

    Politicians don’t labor, they don’t create anything, they don’t manage anything, they don’t take care of the sick, they do nothing but peddle their influence anywhere they can and that is the problem and why the entire political class needs to be thrown out and start with leaders from among the people. Those who work for a living. Not those who are completely out of touch.

    First try at commenting crashed.

    Here is my answer to the existential threat issue, its in footnote #23 of 42.

    national existence
    Short of nuking up, they are not going to destroy us in the short term. But they can inflict great damage. To the widows and orphans of the World Trade Tower victims, their loss is not insignificant. You mock them by minimizing it. How many times did they attack Constantinople before finally conquering it? They will keep on attacking us until they are victorious or exterminated. We need to nominate and elect a President who will exterminate Islam, not another pusillanimous AssWhole.

    Uncle Vladdi created the great graphic which illustrates what Obamination was doing Tuesday night. 😉
