SICKENING – AT 8:41 A.M. ET:   Obama did it again yesterday – he tried to present a moral equivalence between the United States and its enemies, and he did so in the presence of America's military leaders.  The man is a disgrace.  From Breitbart:

Monday at the Pentagon, after meeting on the military efforts against ISIS with his national security team, President Barack Obama urged caution to the America people and said that not only Muslims commit acts of terror, saying, “Here in the United States, we’ve all kinds of home grown terrorism.”

Obama said, “I think it is important for us to recognize the threat of violent extremism is not restricted to any one community. Here in the United States, we’ve all kinds of home grown terrorism. And tragically, recent history reminds how even a single individual can inflict horrendous harm on Americans. So our efforts to counter violent extremism must not target any one community, because of the patriotic Muslim Americans who are partners in keeping our country safe.”

COMMENT:  The American people don't have to be told that we have some bad actors in the United States.  Most countries do.  We also don't have to be told that Muslims are not the only people to engage in terrorism. 

What outrages me is the president's constant need to throw "domestic terrorism" in our faces, as if it's the same thing we face internationally.  We can take care of our domestic nuts.  I'm not sure we're taking care of the foreign ones, not under this president. 

When Obama took office, some commentators – and they were laughed at and ridiculed – wondered if he was the Manchurian Candidate.  I don't make the charge, but I think the question of where this president's loyalties lie has become serious and respectable.
