White House Slips Up... Reveals Obamas True Feelings About Islam [VIDEO] Throughout President Obamas time in the White House, his administration has gone above and beyond to defend non-issues, while the important issues go untended. This was shown once more when White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest tried to prove that radical Islam is only a talking point for Republicans. You want to deal with this problem that happened in Orlando, you want to take it on, then call it what it is, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo said, according to reports. The presidents speech, while seen as effective on many different levels, didnt move the needle much on Islam, radical Islamic terror. People still feel (Obama) doesnt say it because he is afraid of dealing with this problem, that he lacks a fundamental toughness about calling it what it is, Cuomo continued. He didnt move the needle on that, Josh. And people even look at Orlando and say, Well, this is a reflection of that weakness as well. Fair? Earnest was quick to push back. No, Chris. It is outrageous, actually, Earnest replied. The truth of the matter is, the individuals who spend most of their time talking about radical Islamic terrorism are individuals like Republicans in the senate who voted against legislation that would prevent those individuals from being able to buy a gun. Of course, Earnest was ignoring the fact that Democrats also voted down two gun control bills earlier in the week, none of the proposals presented would have prevented Omar Mateen from purchasing a firearm. Using the term radical Islamic extremism is not a counterterrorism strategy, Earnest continued. It is a political talking point, plain and simple. And what the president of the United States has done, (he) has put forward a comprehensive strategy to squeeze the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to inhibit their ability to recruit and radicalize around the globe. Of course, that is not the case either. Obama has been intentionally avoiding the subject, with is a political deflection. What do you think of Earnests comments?
