Obama Insists That There Are No Existential Threats Facing The U.S. [VIDEO] In a recent interview with the Today Shows Matt Lauer, President Barack Obama made some outrageous claims. It is clear that he is in denial about the threats we are facing as a country, and hes trying to blind the American public as well. During the interview, Obama claimed that there are no existential threats facing the country. We are still battling terrorism, Obama admitted, but went on to insist, We remain the strongest nation on earth by far and there are no existential threats facing us, but if we make some good choices now, whoever the next president is, whoever is controlling the next Congress there, theres no reason why we shouldnt own the 21st century. Now, I know in your speech its traditional to say the state of the union is strong, Lauer asked Obama, ahead of his address. When it comes to the emotional state of our union and when I go out and talk to people the words I hear most often in terms of how they are feeling right now, they talk about fear. They talk about frustration. They talk about fatigue. Any of those words surprise you? No, Obama quickly replied. I think, you know, we went through a lot over these last 10 years. We went through Katrina. We went through the Iraq War. We went through the worst financial crisis in our lifetimes. We are still battling terrorism. People are still recovering from some of the economic blows that hit, and it is sometimes important for us to step back and take measure of how far weve come. The economy right now is doing better than any other economy in the world by a significant margin. What do you think Obamas claims? Is this just another instance of him downplaying the threat of ISIS and other terrorist groups to make himself look like a successful leader? Is it time for a real leader in the White House?
