1. Hillary Was Right About Obama and Terror
During the 2008 presidential race Hillary Clintons campaign warned that if a national security crisis arose with Barack Obama in the White House and the red phone alerting him rang at 3 a.m., he could not be trusted to adequately respond.
Turns out Hillary Rodham Clinton was right all along, declared Charles Hurt, Washington, D.C. bureau chief for the New York Post.
Hillarys warning in a campaign ad suggested that an Obama White House would so downplay the threat posed by terrorism that the governments focus would shift away from the harsh and determined tactics used to protect the homeland, Hurt wrote on Friday, adding, Instead, Obama would turn his attention to becoming more popular in the world and stress negotiations over hardball tactics.
vThat attitude has trickled down to all levels of the government responsible for national security, according to Hurt.
On Thursday, President Obama sought to calm Americans fears about the terror threat following the attempted bombing of a plane on Christmas Day. But there wasnt much to see in the White House other than bungling of previous bungling, according to Hurt, as the administration rescheduled Obamas address to the country several times.
At 8 a.m., the White House said the president would speak at 1 p.m. Then at 1 p.m., the announcement came that he would deliver his address at 3 p.m. At 3 p.m., the White House said Obama would speak at 4:30 p.m. He took the podium at 4:34 p.m.
Hurt cited Obamas trip to Cairo last year to address the Muslim world, when he said it is part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear, and opined, If you have time for such nonsense, then you are not spending enough time thinking about how to thwart this enemy.
But it is not like we werent warned by Hillary Clinton.
Another 2008 presidential candidate, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, declared Friday morning that the Fort Hood shootings and the Christmas Day bombing incident show Obama and his advisers have been fundamentally wrong in their approach to the war on terror.
Giuliani, who was New York's mayor when terrorists struck on Sept. 11, 2001, told MSNBCs Morning Joe viewers that the president has tried to let political correctness trump reality.
Giuliani said the Obama administration came into power with the belief that President George W. Bushs response to the 9/11 attacks was unnecessarily severe, and had alienated Americas potential allies abroad.
Theyd gone too far, Bush had overreacted, we make the war on terror worse if we emphasize it too much this is what they truly believed, Giuliani said. But they were fundamentally wrong.
