Can’t find anything broken down. May try to rip the video, cut, and upload to youtube later. My regular laptop is in for a new motherboard, old one takes a long, long time.

I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one who noticed Obama’s incoherent rambling during that answer.

I hope someone posts the video online. To me, it was obvious from his voice and his gaffe that he realized he had blundered. He had been describing as “reactive” what he had always criticized as an unwise, even stupid, strategy for combatting the terrorist threat — including, of course, the invasion of Iraq. The strategy has obviously been anticipatory, not reactive.

I think that’s why he said “actually made us more safe.” His mind was spinning rapidly at that point, as he tried to figure out how to get out of the corner he was painting himself into.

Dennis, you are probably correct in that Barry was trying to attack Bush, but, yup, he messed up his talking points.

But, we can only attack those countries that are not threats to us preemptively.

If Obama can actually protect us from Islam and its terrorism, why is Obama supported by every Islamic terrorist organization or state?

You know better than that, Obama thinks his very presence in a room will make hostile leaders melt like butter.

Actually I think Obama waa attacking the Bush years as Reactive and not Proactive. Obama claims he will be proactive. Does this mean he will invade nations we think have WMD like Iraq??

Yeah, I viewed it as a slam on Iraq and Afghanistan, that somehow, waiting for the Russians to invade Georgia is better than pre-emptively doing something. That the invasion of Iraq has made us LESS safe than waiting for Saddam to do something.

I read it as he stuck his foot in his mouth so far that doctors could probably surgically remove it from his anal sphincter. By NOT doing what Barry would do – anticipating rather than reacting – we have been MORE SAFE. And if reacting and keeping ourselves MORE SAFE has cost us dearly, just how much would it have cost us to follow BARRY’S plan?

Is that just double talk or plain good old-fashioned stupidity trying to come off as articulate? Or is he having a blonde moment?

Wait… is “articulate” one of those racial words I’m not supposed to use?
