Obama: People Need Perspective; There’s Less Violence Around The World Than 40 Years Ago

President Obama said he wanted Americans to gain perspective and be thankful there is less violence now than there was during the Cold War.

Obama predicted Islam’s process to rid itself of extremism would be a “generational project,” he said in an interview with Chris Matthews.

“I remind people that, you know, there actually is probably less war and less violence around the world today than there might have been 30, 40 years ago. It doesn’t make it any less painful but things can get better,” Obama said.

Only, he's right.

Must suck to be you.

Crime is also definitely down in the USA, and not just percentually.

Things can get better, he says. But they won't of course. Not until long after he has left office will the damage begin to be reversed.

Yeah...get rid of health care...invade another country that has nothing to do with attacks on us and trash the economy again. The GOP idea of a good reversal.

That would be a very difficult statement to prove, or to disprove. Exactly what does he mean by "violence", and is he including all acts of any nature? In other words, violence comes in many forms, and committed by individuals, groups, and even militaries. In my opinion, that blanket statement would need clarification in order to agree with, or to disagree with it.

So now that it's better while he was in office, when he leaves office it will get better, okay..

Name one thing that President Obama has done to take away your guns. One thing.

You shouldn't dislike good news, just cause it involves someone you don't like...
