Another Obama "Scam The People" attempt

then why redact what he said at all? because he thinks we, the citizenry, need hand holding is not a good answer. in fact that may be the worst answer possible.

Read post #14, in this thread, by yours truly. It answers that question--and no, the answer doesn't have anything to do with hand-holding. Basically, this guy wanted to be a terrorist who was associated with radical Islam and ISIL. If we acknowledge that he was anything more than a homegrown threat, we give both ISIL and others contemplating similar actions ammo to fulfill their dreams. It was his dream to go out in a blaze of glory for Allah, and we had little choice but to grant him that. It was also his dream to be a fighter for ISIL, and at least we can deny him that.

Since you claim to have thought this through, answer this: how would this work, given that everyone already knows the guy claimed to be working for ISIL? What good would it do, vis a vis a cover-up, to edit out what's already common knowledge? That would be like someone trying to "cover up" the fact that Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee at this point--failing to mention that he is hardly does anything to obscure what everyone already knows. Do you really think that professional liars (which is what you seem to be saying Obama is) are that bad at lying? I mean, c'mon...



Obama's first reaction was to villanize guns? Maybe he said something, but I thought it was some congresspeople who were trying to pass legislation--most of which was actually pretty mild. Did Obama send over to Congress copies of bills he wanted passed or something? To what, exactly, are you reacting?



Again, to what are you reacting? Obama said quite clearly this guy was a terrorist. He was a homegrown terrorist with no actual links, other than in his own mind and through ideology, to ISIL or other terrorist organization.

Your "private" leaning, is as plain as the nose on Obama's face. Partisanism is just another form of insanity.

So, after having thought everything through, as you claim, the best you can do is name-calling?

Perhaps you could answer the questions I've asked you, since, having thought things through as you claim, you should have answers for them all. Unless maybe you think the answers ought to be redacted or something...
