[From article]
His flippancy -- his lack of concern and interest in dealing with Islamic terrorism -- has led to the rise of what has become the richest terror group in the world.
[. . .]
When a man claiming allegiance to ISIS killed four Jews in a deli in Paris in January 2015, Obama dismissed the deliberate targeting of Jews since he said the attack was someone who just “randomly” shot “a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.” The facts: the deli was Jewish, all the victims were Jewish (non-Jewish customers and employees were spared) and the murderer had said he was targeting Jews. They weren’t a bunch of random folks in a deli.
[. . .]
Obama’s entire style of dealing with important issues by flippant responses has probably enticed our adversaries around the world. Adversaries see silly people in charge of American policy and act accordingly.
[. . .]
Hillary Clinton when she took umbrage at being questioned by Senator Ron Johnson about the murder of four Americans in Benghazi. His line of inquiry focused on the White House-concocted story of a video leading to the Benghazi attack. Her flippant response should go down in history -- if not that then at least in campaign ads next year, “What difference at this point does it make?” How dare anyone want to find out why these Americans were murdered? After all, it might spoil her run for the Oval Office.
[. . .]
Their reaction to questions and scrutiny is to demonstrate their innate superiority and sophistication -- at least to members of their own small circle. Flip responses are meant also to end he line of inquiry, to intimidate. Should we be surprised that Barack Obama so often shows up on the comedian Jon Stewart’s Daily Show? Stewart is a master of flippancy and Obama has privately worked to turn Stewart into an ally to sell his policies to America.
