If I had a record on preventing terrorism that’s as bad as Oblunder’s, I’d change the subject too. I mean let’s face it, why walk into a buzz saw when you can hop into a getaway car and speed away. What am I talking about? His and the left’s insistence in talking about pretty much anything other than terrorism when the subject of last weekend’s atrocity in Orlando comes up.
And, naturally, there’s been the usual handwringing about how Oblivious isn’t treating the Orlando terrorist attack as terrorism but rather as a gun control issue. And I agree with all that. He’s avoiding it at worst, talking it down at best; however, I can also see why Oblunder would want to change the subject. On average, there has been a terrorist attack ever year of Obama’s administration, as the New York Post points out:
- December 2015, San Bernardino County
- July 2015: Mohammad Abdulazeez, US Navy Reserve in Chattanooga, Tenn.
- May 2015: ISIS-directed Muslims Nadir Soofi and Elton Simpson Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas
- April 2013: Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Boston Marathon
- September 2012: Terrorists with al Qaeda in the Maghreb US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya
- November 2009: Army Maj. Nidal Hasan Fort Hood, Texas
- June 2009: Al Qaeda-trained Abdulhakim Muhammad Army recruiting office in Little Rock, Ark.
So, if that was your record, would you bring up terrorism?
