When Barack Hussein Obama was asked if America was attacked would you retaliate?

Question

His response was to bash Bush about Katrina and talk about first responders. Why did he dodge this question about retaliation?

Answer 1

It's the Liberals natural reaction. That or to spout out broad generalizations.

Answer 2

Like all politicians he never gives a straight answer to any question. He has it down to an art form. He is for defense funding and supporting our troops but against the war. Hows that for straddling the fence.

Answer 3

Because all he really knows is how to bash Bush. Real typical, know nothing, do nothing, just smile and criticize those who are doing the job. We find those kinds in every walk of life and silly people who are taken in by it.

Answer 4

He made a mistake and didn't listen to the question. He is so afraid of the Anti-Iraqi War wing of his party that he panicked. Maybe being a smooth talker is not enough to be President. The guy may not be as smart as many give him credit.

Answer 5

Barack Obama is playing safe in order not to offend voters.

VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

Answer 6

Wow, you mean a politician avoided a question and used it as time to bash his opposition? Jee that is news!

I'm sick and tired of the daytime talk show that is politics, and so are a growing number of Americans...if not already the majority.

Answer 7

The liberals have no ideas of their own. They are all for universal health care, but won't say how it will be paid for. They are against the war in Iraq, but still vote for funding (for a political bribe at a high price) They know social security will be bankrupt but have no plans to fix it. They want to make treaties, but won't help our allies with the military. They are for higher taxes but won't run on that platform. It's always the "Rich" who will be taxed. They are, in short, for all things which are immoral. They want children to excell in school, but abhore competition which will drive them to do their best. They want to give kids condoms in highschool, because "they will do it anyways." They teach how to procreate but don't teach morals and values needed to make adult decisions about where and when.

Answer 8

Well, if he did retaliate, maybe he'd at least retaliate against the people who actually attacked us.

When neo-cons go on and on about stupid stuff like haircuts, Lewinsky, and botched jokes it really makes me laugh. Your boy is the most corrupt, incompetant, dishonest waste of space to ever hold office, and this stuff concerns you? - wow.

Answer 9

America is under attack. Our freedoms are being denied, we are being spyed on without warrant, people are being arrested without charges, denied legal representation, tortured. Our treasured Constitution is being ripped to shreds. Everything that is good and right about America is under attack, and has been under attack since 2000 when a draft dodging, war mongering coward and his pack of criminals installed themselves at the helm of the country..........I wish we'd fight back. I'd love to nourish Thomas Jefferson's tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants.

Answer 10

Because he's too inexperienced to have an rat's rear idea about military intelligence, or any strategy as he has NO MILITARY experience--as Clinton Didn't know anything about fighting--only going AWOL--Clinton knew how to run away.
Barack Obama--I call--BO-can't answer a question he doesn't understand or know the answer to!! He's a fascist-socialist!

Footnote to Peacewarrior: You Were TALKING ABOUT CLINTON: See Facts Sheet below:

Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964, accepting all contractual conditions of registering for the draft. Selective Service Number is 3 26 46 228.

Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.

Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.

Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under authority of Col. E. Holmes. Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment. Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.

Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2)(a) registrant who has failed to report...remain liable for induction.

Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!

Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law 90-40.

Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a fugitive from justice. Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977, from Carter.

Bill Clinton FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President of the United States. All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished. After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.

Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, DC. who are now dead would be alive today.

INTERESTING QUESTION: This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in show. Without casting stones, it is a legitimate question. There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives billions of dollars to charity. The other sponsors terrorism. That being the case, why was it that the Clinton Administration spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the eight years in office, than Osama bin Laden?

THINK ABOUT IT! It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events while under oath.
