This is the depth of the Commander-In-Chief’s analysis.
“Obama compares ISIS to Heath Ledger’s Joker from The Dark Knight saying they just ‘just want to set the whole region on fire,'” by Snejana Farberov, Dailymail.com, March 10, 2016:
President Barack Obama likened the Middle East to Gotham, the fictional metropolis in the Batman franchise, with ISIS acting as the Joker who shows up on the scene and plunges the city into murderous chaos.
Obama’s comments drawing an analogy between the jihadist militant group Islamic State, also known as ISIL, and the comic book villain portrayed by Heath Ledger in Christopher Nolan’s 2008 film The Dark Knight, appear in a long-form piece exploring in depth the president’s foreign policy legacy, which The Atlantic published online Thursday.
The cover story by the magazine’s national correspondent Jeff Goldberg, titled The Obama Doctrine, will appear in print in The Atlantic’s April issue.
White House aides speaking to The Atlantic recalled how in meetings Obama would talk about a key scene in the Batman film as a way of explaining his view of ISIS and its role in the region.
‘There’s a scene in the beginning in which the gang leaders of Gotham are meeting,’ Obama would tell advisers. ‘These are men who had the city divided up. They were thugs, but there was a kind of order. Everyone had his turf.
‘And then the Joker comes in and lights the whole city on fire. ISIL is the Joker. It has the capacity to set the whole region on fire. That’s why we have to fight it.’…

Christianblood says
Obama is elected by America not once but twice. Obama is by product of the liberal anti-Christian postmodernist worldview which is held by the majority of the peoples of the Western world, including Americans. Obama is the genuine reflection of the present day Western/American society and its political-correct naivety, Don’t blame Obama, blame the decadent culture that produced him and hundreds of millions of others who exactly like him. Try to bush back against this political-correctness. Vote for Donald Trump. Vote for common sense!
Sam says
Correct %100. Obama is the result of America hating Americans (due to constant brain washing in schools and media that America is the problem)
Christianblood says
So Very True!
Huck Folder says
It’s the two or three generations of
marxists/communists/socialists,
TRAINED (brainwashed) by the
Ayers/Dohrn/Alinski crowd.
In turn those are enabled by
the brainwashed ‘teachers’.
probably using Saudi approved
and funded ‘Common Core’
curricula of lies and islam
whitewashing.
Communists managed to
insinuate themselves into
Oxford and Cambridge,
to become successful spies
for the Soviet Union.
Despite exposure of all the ferocious lies
and mass murders of the communist bastards,
the red profs keep churning out
the next generation of useful idiots.
Just look at Mutti Ferkel’s
DISASTROUS socialist ‘experiment’
on Germany and Europe in general.
Martti O. says
Make up your mind: Do you want people to vote for Trump or common sense?
Carolyne says
A vote for Trump IS a vote for common sense!
David Pimentel says
Incorrect. Trump is popular for the very same illogical reasons that made Barack Obama popular 8 years ago. Foolish voters.
quotha raven says
To David Pimentel – I agree 100% While I find Trump entertaining and refreshing and surely something of a phenomenom, I can see him acting like Obama on steroids, should he attain the office. I can conjure up some pretty alarming but realistic scenarios, given his charmingly off-putting narcissism and careless, spontaneous utterances, his ability to do deals and his comfort with inconsistencies in his principles. But he sure did get Wollman Skating Rink in NYC fixed up in a jiffy back in the 80s, after the City messed around with it for YEARS..
The USA is NOT a corporation, to be run by a CEO. I’m just shaking my head at the thoughtless emotion, lack of critical evaluation of the guy, and celebrity worship that appear to motivate many Trump supporters. It feels creepily like that worshipful response to the man who announced from the get-go that he would change the USA fundamentally. People didn’t pay attention. They thought he was sexy and black, and that was enough.
Cheers!

jewdog says
This analysis reminds me of how some leftists would exculpate the sins of Communism during the Cold War: The problem wasn’t with Communism itself, it was with those people who didn’t apply it properly. Maybe if Bernie Sanders becomes President we’ll see how it ought to work. Likewise, Islam just needs proper application.
Annak says
Yes Western Communists always say Communism failed everywhere, USSR, China South America etc but they will do it better ! They are the sort of people Einstein spoke of when he said ” insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result”
mortimer says
JD wrote to suggest Obama believes…”Islam just needs proper application.”
Obama’s view is a very shallow and naïve one based on Obama’s personal LACUNA of ignorance about what ‘CONSENSUAL ISLAM’ actually teaches. Obama has not read and studied the Islamic source texts, and yet, he presents himself as an expert on Islam, using teeny comparisons. He has surely been smoking something.
Islam is in fact being ‘properly applied’ by a great expert on Islam, Caliph al Baghdadi. Most mullahs know al Baghdadi is well-versed and they are 99% silent about ISIS. Even Al Azhar University is not condemning the theology of ISIS.
Only uninformed Western politicians like Obama think they know Islam better than al Baghdadi. Most Muslims are cowed by al Baghdadi’s profound Islamic knowledge.
Surely, Obama is not getting away with these silly absurdities in meetings with real experts on the topic of jihad. Is the man with his finger on the button such a nincompoop?
Oliver says
Mortimer- your question-last sentence. IN MY VIEW– THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING YES.
jihad3tracker says
PLEASE SEND A PATH TO THE LONG IMPORTANT UPCOMING ATLANTIC ARTICLE TO YOUR CHOSEN REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANIDIDATE. It is seldom that a “respected” heritage print journal such at this takes time to investigate inconvenient facts hiding behind a Leftist political façade.
As Robert suggests in his comment, this is the disgraceful essence of Barack Obama. His anti-American hate of our freedom is crystal clear, and for everyone who has even a small understanding of human behavior, we witness the actual commitment in his heart to Islam — soaked deep down when he was young.
Campaign websites are still VERY OPEN to comments — they just ask for an email address to confirm that you are an actual person, not a spam robot. BUT, BECAUSE MONEY IS SO NECESSARY TO RUN FOR OFFICE, THE FIRST CLICK BOX WILL PROBABLY BE TO DONATE $$$$.
Scroll down to the BOTTOM of the homepage — look for a small “CONTACT” hotlink button. Click that to bring up a template form. There will be a comment section for typing what is on your mind. Give a short biography of yourself, and why you support that particular individual.
Angemon says
Fitting of someone who misses daily security briefings.
Oliver says
I read somewhere that the ones giving the briefings-were told to remove ” bad news” and views/opinions and insights that were in contrast to his.
Not sure where I read it, but I THINK it was by a former intelligence person.
If that is/was the case, no harm in his ll., if all he was to get was sugar coated bull manure
Cecilia Ellis says
Oliver, the following article may address the situation, although it may not be the most recent report. Like you, I seem to recall hearing someone on FoxNews say that briefers were directed to remove any bad news, I.e., intelligence that conflicted with Obama’s position. At any rate, I believe the following article is germane:

quotha raven says
To Angemon, who remarks on “Obama compares ISIS to Heath Ledger’s Joker from The Dark Knight saying they just ‘just want to set the whole region on fire…”
Funny, all this time I’ve been giving Obama and Hillary credit for setting the whole region on fire…notice how the “Arab Spring” rubbish-talk has quietly disappeared from the news? They discreetly retired that cozy, insulting phrase from exposure to any thoughtful eyes trying to understand what our policy is. It soon became clear enough to me.

Champ says
Once again obama demonstrates that he’s in fact “the Joker”!
gravenimage says
He actually pretty much looks like the Joker in the picture above–and this is his approach to dealing with America.
Dan says
You’re wrong.
By one letter.
He’s just a Joke.
Wellington says
Some analogies are fine, accurate, right on target. Others are not. Obama’s analogy here is not, rooted as it is in a puerile comparison by one possessed of a vastly overrated intellect and who, a la Disraeli, actually has few real ideas and, no matter here too, because all of these are wrong.
My God, what a dismal occupier of the Oval Office this man has been. He is kind to the cruel and cruel to the kind and has no real understanding of what made America a great nation. Indeed, deep inside he has a contempt for America and that is why back in 2008 he announced, quite publicly, he wanted to fundamentally transform America. He hasn’t succeeded in this goal but one could make a case for his having half-succeeded here.
A truly awful and profoundly dismal excuse for an American President is Obama. The worst President in American history I would contend. I look forward to the day when he will no longer be the Commander-in-Chief but I certainly hope that that less than nothing, that walking mendacity and incompetentcy, Hillary Clinton, will not be his replacement since she too is dismal and then some. Of course, that Trump could become President is instructive of yet again how America is off course——-but I digress.
mortimer says
The educational system has let everyone down. Without a profound training in history and civics, the value of our heritage of freedom is unknown by the young. They are unable to fathom the concept of ‘tyranny’ against which the republic was conceptualized to fight.
The young are fighting now FOR TYRANNY, rather than against it.
Wellington says
Again we agree, mortimer. Regarding particularly the educational system, this is something I know a fair amount about since I was an educator for a third of a century. The decline has been precipitous. In fact, it has become so bad that what is actually occurring in education in America today, what with all the pc/mc crap out there, a mindless curriculum, and the intolerance of an enormous number of control-freak and ignorant leftist teachers, is something superseding parody.
And respecting specifically the youth of America, as bad as my generation has been, i.e., the Baby Boomers, in screwing up things and getting things wrong and being generally ignorant, narcissistic and uninformed, while at the same time being nauseatingly sanctimonious, the current young generation is daily and unwittingly trying to prove that it is the worst generation of Americans in all of American history.
Ah, we see here, I would contend, the genesis of how great polities ordinarily end. Not from the enemy without but rather from the enemy within. And the enemy within in America today is massive, and I mean massive, ignorance and disregard for what made America great in the first place, including the capacity to apologize for past wrongdoings and, a la Madison, Morris, Franklin and Washington, to try and form “a more perfect union.”
Obama gets none of this. None. He really is a most wretched man.
quotha raven says
Wellington and Mortimer –
I agree wholeheartedly and with great sadness with both of your assessments of US education. I observed or experienced what you describe both as a faculty wife at a major university and, later, as a divorced mother of a son who went to private schools in NYC and in the fabled northeast…
He came away with a respectable BA IN English and a Master’s degree in industrial design, and he HAD NEVER BEEN REQUIRED TO READ OR STUDY THE US CONSTITUTION. By the time I discovered this, horrified, it was just too late to undo the damage done by years of a steady, intracranial drip of leftist propaganda.
Now that he’s been an adult for a long time, I can only chip away with attempts at rational argument from time to time, which makes me a nag and a bore.Students are NOT being taught how to think for themselves, to question, to analyze. Instead they are taught NOT to question but to parrot back meaningless rubbish for “centralized tests” with federally fashioned “standards”. Standards that are producing yet another generation generally unprepared to think or discern. They’ve been taught instead a sort of “community awareness”, a commitment to “the greater good” concept (and that the government knows how to achieve that “good”) often accompanied by “ethical narcissism”.
Their instinct to question has for all practical purposes been ground out of them by “educators”.. Grim, indeed.
Cheers!

Ian H says
The young fight on both sides of every struggle. We call the young people who fought for the side of right heroes and think of the young as generally heroic, concerned for justice on the side of right. We forget about all the young people who fought and died on the other side.
But fanatics of every stripe have always been predominantly young. Older people tend to be wiser and more nuanced in their views. Just look at the famous picture of Che Guevera that the women still sigh over. Young and handsome. The Bolsheviks, the followers of Pol Pot and Mao, Hitlers brown shirts – all mostly young at least back in the day. Todays IS fighters are the same. We’ve seen the pictures. They are young. Young and frequently fairly handsome looking if you are into beards. Women look at the pictures sigh and start to think the sex slave thing might not be so bad. Women are crazy.
Don’t get me wrong. These IS fighters are definitely evil. But we somehow have managed to forget that evil wears an attractive face and usually a young one. We are surprised to see healthy attractive looking young people doing such evil things. Hollywood has lied to us. It has taught us that attractive young people are the good guys. In Hollywood the evil people are always old and ugly.
Demsci says
Astute observation. Also that lie you talk about by Hollywood. Yeah, I agree.
Gunnar Heinsohn also personifies this opinion that wars are primarily caused by angry young males.
When I propose that the objection mostly is about that the old leaders cause the wars. But according to Heinsohn they could only do that when their countries were “Young”” on average. Before both world wars Germany was very “young” for instance.
The young men can be tamed a little when they marry and get children, ha ha.
It was even proposed that it works a bit like this in the animal world. When old elephants had been poached and killed in Kruger National Park, adolescent elephant males became very agressive against Rino’s; provoking then killing scores of them. The order was restored, according to the story, when some old elephant males were transported from Mozambigue towards the Kruger park!
Come to think then it is a GOOD Development that we Westerners and all mankind are getting OLDER in average, and that thus the percentage of “angry young males” is decreasing.
Arcesilaus says
Obama doesn’t want to face the ugly truth. The left live in a world where Islam is just another decent religion and a good culture. Sadly, the truth of it all is not what the left wants, it is absolutely politically incorrect. The truth is that Islam is a religion of evil that hates women, animals, and those who refuse to believe their nonsense. It’s “values” are completely depraved. Islam cannot coexist with Christianity, Atheism, Buddhism, Paganism, etc. because ironically, it is everything the left hates, which is being the epitome of intolerance.
Obama doesn’t have the courage to speak the truth of this problem. He took the easy way out while being POTUS, which is not what being POTUS is about.

Carolyne says
I agree that Obama is the worst President in American history. He has indeed accomplished at least half his goal, but his goal to flood this country with Islamist “Refugees” is still in progress but I expect he will have finished it by the time he is to leave office.
But speaking of his leaving office, I doubt that he will. I think he will create some kind of civil disorder, perhaps with the “Black Lives Matter” bunch. Then, he can declare Martial Law and cancel elections. And this nation of sheep will allow him to do it,.
CogitoErgoSum says
If I remember the movie correctly at some point Alfred says to Batman, “Some men just want to watch the world burn.” That was the only explanation for the criminally insane things The Joker was doing to Gotham.
I suppose that works if you think everybody who joins ISIS is insane but it you take the time to listen to the justifications they themselves provide you will find out what is really motivating them. It does not take a genius to figure it out …. but it might be beyond Obama’s capability.
Huck Folder says
‘They’ want Dar-Al-Harb to burn.
Dacritic says
For some reason, in the real world (not the fictional Gotham), the “men who want to watch the world burn” are always Muslims.
I wonder why.
Arcesilaus says
This is a better comparison than that foolish “JV team” remark, but still not on center. They are only causing chaos in those countries to overthrow the establishment and bring in their own dark tyrannical regime. Unlike the Joker, this is not just for pure chaos or anarchy, this is to establish a harsh, backward, authoritarian medieval caliphate. This is due to their religion and prophet which commands them to do this. In a deranged, twisted way, they think they will “save” us by having us go to heaven. This is how being brainwashed into a religion from birth can cause the world so much problems and hamper free society.
Arcesilaus says
*brainwashed into a CULT from birth
Beagle says
Either Obama believes his own lies, is truly ignorant of IS motives, or is doubling down on government obfuscation.
IS wants to impose sharia law globally. IS intends to convert the world to Islam, kill those who refuse, or in some cases allow the non-Muslim to pay jizya. None of this is hidden or in dispute. Everything IS does tracks the Quran and hadith collections, especially al-Tawba, or Sura Nine.
As Robert often metaphorically notes, we have to hope the grass of truth cracks through the concrete poured by liars like our western leaders. But so far, it’s not going well.
Beagle says
I failed to add, being Sunni Salafists, IS also would like to exterminate Shia Muslims they view as rafidah – those who reject ‘true’ Sunni Islam.
But of course, western politicians must devote all their efforts to protecting their precious Islam. Even if their efforts encourage people to convert and eventually become jihadis, western politicians, media, education, and even law enforcement and militaries continue to lie.

Obama compares the Islamic State to the Joker from Batman
This is the depth of the Commander-In-Chief’s analysis.
………………………………………
Grimly depressing from the person who is supposed to be Commander-in-Chief.
It is also false–the Islamic State is no “Joker”–they are not homicidal anarchists bent on nothing but destruction for its own sake.
They are actually something worse–their goal is not to just “f*ck things up”, but to establish a Caliphate and impose the sanguinary horror of Shari’ah law.
And this is exactly what they have done.
And their eye is not just on the fictional Gotham City, but on the whole world. So far, they have expanded from Iraq and Syria to Nigeria, Somalia, Libya, and Tunisia, as well as pulling in Jihad fighters from all over the world, including the West.
Demsci says
A big YES to all of that, Gravenimage!
Obama is a political-correct person to the core, if not in practice almost a traitor.
But he does see some big innocent Muslim mass, and a tiny minority of Extremists. That means he sees a “normal majority and a NEGATIVE DEVIATION”.
His biggest lie is that there is only ONE TRUE ISLAM, something he picked up in his youth, supposedly, something his friend Erdogan told him.
There are Daniel Pipes and Ryan Mauro of Clarion Project, great freedomfighters, who also buy into this “normal majority and negative deviation”.
And it seems to me that it is in the current situation a better position to consider Islam Multi-interpretable, as no Muslims may do, but Pipes and Mauro and many others do.
And now we, Islam-aware, concerned citizens, insisting the country and system must be defended,
can point out that, with Multi-interpretability Muslims have choices.
And don’t we now have the right to search for the “positive exceptions: among the Muslim”s? We can see the bulk of Muslims as “normal, but neutral, unscrutable, with a long of hate against interspersed among them, irresponsibly adhering to a by now discredited religion, because of low clarity and widespread difference of understanding.
But if the PC’s see “all those innocent Muslims”, why can’t we ask for who the positive exceptions are???
And in regard to the questions whether or not there is a ONE TRUE ISLAM, it is irrelevant what whole populations of whole countries, and whole mosque-communities, accept as valid interpretation of Islam.
The fact remains that the Islam-interpretations of Zuhdi Jasser, Irshad Manji, Majid Nawaz are just as valid, legitimate interpretations of Islam as that majority-view. Due to the very ambiguity of the source-documents-Quran-Hadiths-Sira.
And again it does not matter between us and the PC’s that the Muslims declare the Zuhdi’s and Majid’s apostates, defectors. They simply cannot be apostates any more than the Muslims who hold the majority-view! We should know that and trumpet that!
The PC’s must be persuaded to stop swallow these Muslim-Tenets and tendencies and act rationally. And a majority of 51 % of rational, reasonable people will be enough!
quotha raven says
to Gravenimage – Right on every point, Graven! Those who think Obama is naive are, I believe, themselves naive, if well-meaning. It’s easy to understand why lots of people prefer to think he is dumb; the reality of what he really IS DOING and HAS ACCOMPLISHED and how OPEN HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT HIS INTENTIONS is simply too horrifying for many Americans to process.
Sometimes, “thinking on the bright side” and “being positive” is counter-productive and in fact dangerous.
Perhaps the most horrifying thing about this situation is that we, the American People, elected this egregious traitor…TWICE. It is my fervent hope that we do better in 2016.

This is just a subtle distraction trick on his part he and a lot of other politicians just do not want to face up to the truth ISLAM IS THE PROBLEM. Trump and Carson have and have spoken up about it.
Jerry says
That was a sly way by obama to belittle the threat. Think about it. He’s the commander-in-chief of the most powerful nation on earth. But he uses a comic book analogy to elucidate the effects of an advancing terrorist army. I doubt those that are getting raped, murdered, and tortured, are comforted by his fictional assessment. It concerns me but is not surprising that obama could be so callas toward the victims of islamic terror and war. It’s about as appropriate as making 9/11 jokes. Maybe the Pres needs to improve his taqiyya, I could feel less ashamed.
Jerry says
I bet if obama were on the front line fighting these islamic freaks he wouldn’t be so cavalier. The hell of human death and suffering is not best described by a comic book scenario. MR. president. Show some sensitivity to the victims and the brave people fighting this evil. Or please, step down and let a real man lead. Thank you in advance.
Jerry says
“ISIL is the joker.”
No, obama, ISIL is a terrorist army, slaughtering and pillaging to advance islam’s demented faith. The metaphor does not work, ISIL’s agenda is not one of senseless slaughter. It is an imperialist quest that permeates their faith and culture like democracy and free speech permeates ours. ISIL’s supremacist agenda is 1400 years old and is inexorably tied to the islamic culture and faith.
This is just another islamic bow by our commander-in-chief. Sorry Mr. President, you’ve been made. ISIL isn’t merely a band of senseless killers. They have a purpose in mind. And that purpose is inexorably tied to the islamic faith. It has given birth to their army and is the primary reason for its existence. And the foundation for that faith are the “moderates” that sustain it and migrate its fascist filth throughout the world. It’s awfully hard to not see the connection here, at least if one is honest.

I bet he’d tell you, “The one that rules an islamic America.” Which shouldn’t be too far off if we stay the course.
Jerry says
Sorry, I know I’m talking too much in this thread, but I gotta spit out one more parting shot.
This kind of talk from the incumbent proves all too well that he lacks the compassion, honesty, and leadership qualities that our nation deserves. Anyone that speaks so frivolously about the horrors of war has no place in American politics. The comic book reference was an insult to human suffering and a defense of jihad. What else can we think, when our president “cartoons” the enemy’s murderous effects? It’s a gross display of emotional detachment and a serious lack of moral fortitude. Not exactly the kind of leader America needs.
Trump may be inadequate in so many ways. But I’d rather have a patriotic hack than a cunning man that mocks suffering and minimizes evil. I won’t mention any names. But I think you know who I mean.
backtobasics says
Noah Webster’s dictionary states that deceit is, “ any declaration, artifice or practice which misleads another and includes amongst other things, cheating, underhanded practice, insincerity, false representation, collusion and trickery”. Deceit, as stated by Noah Webster, is what defines the Obama Presidency and must be kept in mind and taken into account at all times. Failure to take Obama’s deceit into account at all times is to invite defeat and humiliation. A deceitful person cannot be trusted. A deceitful person will use everything at his disposal , including privileged information and truths that he knows about and others do not, to trap and ensnare and ridicule his opposition or opponents. Underhanded practice is included in the definition of deceit: how underhanded is Obama being in his relationship and dealings with the Mahommetans? Obama could be underhandedly manipulating events with the Mahommetans. The point is: deceitful people cannot be trusted.
It will almost be imposable to defeat Obama if Obama’s deceit is not effectively exposed and combated wherever and whenever it occurs. And wherever and whenever Obama’s deceit occurs Obama must be made to own it: no mercy, no quarter given, nothing taken back and Obama’s deceit must be called and named as it should be called and named, that is, deceit. I don’t believe Obama will be able to control himself for very long, if Obama’s character of deceit is attacked and exposed.
Deceit is a character attribute and modus operandi of Satan and Mahomet and was part of and included in Mahomet’s teaching and practice, Mahommet being a person that Obama holds in such high esteem and regard. Yes, Obama is in good company as regards Mahommet, which most certainly is not the company I would want to keep.
