1. No...not the same. We had a President who said 'Public opinion wins wars.' He meant, of course, that an informed citizenry supports a war effort in a unified manner. And, he knew about winning wars. It was Dwight Eisenhower.
2. Now....the charlatan. The current President knows who has declared war on America, who attacks us at every opportunity...yet he forbids the unvarnished truth revealed to the public.
a. "President Obama jettisoned the use of the phrase global war on terror, preferring overseas contingency operation. "

b." The Obama administration has unofficially rebranded "war on terror" phrase that dominated public discourse throughout the Bush administration. The replacement phrase, carefully chosen, is "CVE" -- Countering Violent Extremism.... Countering Violent Extremism is noticeable for two words that aren't there: some variant of "jihad," which is the preferred predicate for counter-terrorism-fighting conservatives, and "war," which is because the administration has put de-radicalization alongside the Predator drones as a primary instrument of combat. No mention of Islam, of course. That's because the administration wants to try and decouple the notion of combating terrorism from the Muslim faith itself."

3. Bet you thought the most absurd of all was calling the assassination of unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood 'workplace violence,' when the assassin had his business cards printed with "SoA" (Soldier of Allah), and killed while chanting the Arabic shout of "Allahu Akbar!" Ft. Hood killer's title was 'Soldier of Allah' - NYPOST.com
4. But it has gone further. Now this charlatan-in-chief has not only shielded non-radical Muslims.....which is what his apologists would claim the above was all about....but has shifted the blame from the real enemies....to....well, check this out:
a. First, he speaks of Islamofascists, alQaeda...." Today, the core of al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan is on a path to defeat. Their remaining operatives spend more time thinking about their own safety than plotting against us. Instead, what weve seen is the emergence of various al Qaeda affiliates. From Yemen to Iraq, from Somalia to North Africa, the threat today is more diffuse, with Al Qaedas affiliates in the Arabian Peninsula -- AQAP -- the most active in plotting against our homeland. And while none of AQAPs efforts approach the scale of 9/11, they have continued to plot acts of terror, like the attempt to blow up an airplane on Christmas Day in 2009." President Obama Speaks on the U.S. Counterterrorism Strategy | The White House
So far, so good....he's speaking of the actual culprits. Then, this: "And finally, we face a real threat from radicalized individuals here in the United States. "
Guess who?
b."Whether its a shooter at a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, a plane flying into a building in Texas, or the extremists who killed 168 people at the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, America has confronted many forms of violent extremism in our history." Ibid.
5. "The thing that all three of those cases have in common is that the perps werent Muslims. Was the guy who flew a plane into a building in Texas really radicalized? In what ideology exactly?"

6. " The president's speech at the National Defense University was most unsatisfying for anyone hoping that at long last Obama would articulate what his purpose is in being commander-in-chief while terrorists continue their efforts to kill and maim Americans and our allies."

So.....what the heck is wrong with simply telling the truth???
