While the juvenile FoxNews/Google debate was underway last night, this is what was going down in the enemy camp, where President Barack Obama made his final address to the House Democratic Caucus retreat as president.
āDemocrats will win in November and we will have a Democratic president succeed me,ā he said.
āOn a night where much of the mediaās attention is focused on Donald Trumpās refusal to participate in the GOP debate in Iowa, Obama referenced the Republican front-runner when making his case for a multilateral foreign policy: āWeāre not going to strengthen our leadership around the world by allowing politicians to insult Muslims or pit groups of Americans against each other,ā he said.
Thatās just, as it were, what the Fox/Google debate was saying in fielding the question of Muslim activist Nabela Noor to GOP hopefuls.
Hereās the word-by-word question posed by Chris Wallace:
āWALLACE: We have another question from one of Youtubeās top creators. Here it is. (
New York TimesāFull Debate Transcript, Jan. 29, 2016)
āQUESTION: Iām Nabela Noor. Iām a Muslim American born and raised in the U.S. who creates beauty and lifestyle videos on Youtube.
āIn 2015, the number of hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. has tripled, and on social media, where I spend a lot of time, Iāve seen many attacks directed towards fellow Muslims. This culture of hatred is only driving ISIS to radicalize, recruit and incite violence.
āAs president, what would you do to address this toxic climate and promote increased tolerance in the United States?
āWALLACE: Governor Bush, how do you answer Nabela?
āBUSH: Well first of all, I think itās important that when weāre running for the highest office in the land that we recognize that weāre living in dangerous times and we have to be serious about it, that our words have consequences.
āDonald Trump, for example ā Iām glad ā I mentioned his name again just if anybody was missing him⦠(LAUGHTER)
āBUSH: ... Mr. Trump believed that in reaction to peopleās fears that we should ban all Muslims. Well, that creates an environment thatās toxic in our own country. Nobela (ph) is a rising entrepreneur. She wants to pursue the American dream. Sheās an American citizen. She should not feel uncomfortable about her citizenship. Sheās not the threat. The threat is Islamic terrorism.
āWe need to focus our energies there, not these broad, blanket, kind of statements that will make it harder for us to deal with ISIS. We need to deal with ISIS in the caliphate. We need a strategy to destroy ISIS there. You canāt do that without the cooperation of the Muslim world because theyāre as threatened as we are.
āSo, I think itās important for us to be careful about the language we use, which is why āIāve been critical of Donald Trump. Disparaging women, disparaging hispanics, thatās not a sign of strength. Making fun of disabled peopleā¦ā
The 2016 presidential election race has gone from soap opera to circus.
