C’mon, President Obama, you’re starting to sound like Bill Clinton when he said “It depends on what the definition of is is.”
It’s jihad. It’s not that tough a concept.
“Well, the phrase Jihad has a lot of meanings within Islam, and is subject to a lot of different interpretations,” President Obama said. “…The overwhelming majority view their obligations to their religion as ones that reaffirm peace and justice and fairness and tolerance…”
We think the problem here is homophonic. All this time we thought people were saying, “Islam is a religion of peace” when they were actually saying “Islam is a religion of pieces.”
As in, “After the suicide bomber set off his bomb, there was a piece of him over here and another piece of him over there, because, you know, Islam is a religion of pieces.”

The lady seemed bored while he was talking. I don't blame her. If I want to sleep all I have to do is have obama talking nonsense in the background. He is soooo boring!
He got some very pointed questions about his obsession with elping Pakistan from some of those "young Indians." He seems to forget that India is comprised of several NON muslim religions, and they have been at war with one another for centuries.
Let us not forget that Pakistan was originally part of India.
Disgusting!
Can you imagine him preaching about how great Islam is to the people of India? Whose people have been victims of Islamic terrorists for decades. Millions have been killed in their country by Jihadists and he has the gall to preach the "young people" of India.
Can you imagine him making this speech in Israel? Or perhaps making this speech in Indonesia about Judaism?
"Yes my muslim brethren, Judaism is the religion of peace and love. I advise all you muslim young people to embrace peace and love and Judaism" How long before one of them blows themselves up?
I understand his difficulty. It helps if you're not a closet Muslim trying to destroy America. I think lawyers call it a "conflict of interest".
Poor Dems. They voted for a messiah and got Clinton redux.
Obama sounds like a lawyer, not a President.
No, Hillary sounds like a lawyer. This guy just sounds like he's in over his head.
Depends on what your definition of "barbaric savages" is...
*cocks a gun* I'd like him to define barbaric savage....
How can we american's allow this enemy of america to continue in office. Obama studied the koran..therefor he know's the word 'innocent' does not apply to you and me according to the islamic religion..we are enemies..clear and plain..muslims do not look at us as innocents and obama know's this. Remember how obama referred to any who reject his agenda..enemies..enemies to be punished. And now he refuses to calm our fears about jihad preferring to mullify our enemies.
Oh btw, isn't this what we refer to as "Pulling a Clinton?" Trying to muddle the meaning of a commonly known word. Hmm.
I ain't pulling nothing on no Clinton.
As the Madam said, "You can leave the little things to us."
...some little things I would rather not see I think.
gouging out my mind's eye again.
I don' wanna see Slick Willy's willy.
I wouldn't say Islam is one of the worlds great religions... Biggest maybe, but it is not great. I probably just had someone declare a Jihad on me for that statement.
One thing: I think Obama is confused. He heard the saying "I have a Jihad in my pants" and figured Jihad meant something completely different... I mean it could that could be the only reason, right?
