More on Morons

I was taken completely aback, aghast, flabbergasted, left almost speechless. Our President Barack Hussein Obama has declared that he is confident, certain that the United States can "absorb another terrorist attack". President Obama believes we could sustain as many as or more casualties than the original September 11 attack. We have waged two specific wars, accompanied by a global war on terror since then costing a trillion dollars and thousands of lives. There has been no business as usual since 9/11/2001. We have spent billions more than we otherwise would have on domestic security. We have subjected ourselves to ever more intrusive searches every time we fly somewhere. We as individuals have become more aware of our surroundings and potential threats that we never would have even noticed before the planes hit the towers. But "we" can absorb another mass casualty assault on the homeland- one which might destroy the airline industry, send people fleeing from the proximity of chemical plants or refineries, and further cripple our already flailing financial sector. We do not drive around in armored limousines accompanied by a couple of hundred Secret Service agents and uniformed police. We may be the ones riding a subway train who are blown to smithereens. Our children may be on the first school bus a jihadist decides to seize on our shores. President Obama, you and the well-protected elites that throng around you may well be able to "absorb" a terrorist outrage that your privilege gives you every chance of surviving. We mere everyday Americans who do not have bomb sniffing dogs clearing our path and a phalanx of bodyguards sure as hell can not "absorb" the next terror attack. We expect you to take your job seriously and have our government do everything humanly possible to prevent that ever happening.
