Yes! the prez is telling it like it is!!

Calling out the other side for his failure to use the term "radical Islam". Pointing out doing so would obviously change nothing.

making the other side looks stupid. Not that they needed any help.

Thank you, President Obama! He is indeed "telling it like it is" and he sounds p*ssed!



Wow, he is on every network!

I love seeing him so engaged and throwing their BS right back in the face of the GOP.

I hope he take full advantage of it and nails the GOP's asses to the wall.

me that this board isn't filled with posts at this moment discussing this massively important speech by the president on national security. It's not. Apparently, very few even watched it. Later, they will cheer the "evisceration" of Trump--but the speech was far more than that. It was a passionate summation of American values and principles, of government in general, and a damnation of our pathetic ability to move past political distractions in order to work together: by confirming an important security post focusing on finances, to pass the obvious gun laws, by ending the divisions that separate us and rather celebrate the oneness of our nation, in all its diversity. It was powerful. It moved me to tears.

totally falling into "Trump-think" (talk about a classic "jumbo shrimp" oxymoron), by somehow suggesting Obama could be way more effective if he just started to use language the same way that Orangutan-boy does.
