Obama: Paris, a Setback; Colorado Springs, an Outrage

When everything is political, some dead or more dead than other dead.  Flash back to Paris, France, over one hundred twenty dead in an Islamist terror attack. What does Dumbo, he of big ears and small brain, a/k/a Barack Obama says, from Newsmax [1]:

Calling Friday’s deadly terror attacks in Paris a “Setback,” President Obama on Monday ruled out a shift in strategy in the fight against the Islamic State, saying putting U.S. troops on the ground to combat the group “would be a mistake.”

Obama, speaking at a news conference following a G20 leaders’ summit in Turkey, said the U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State in Iraq and Syria would redouble efforts to implement its current strategy rather than moving in a new direction.

Steady as she goes.

Now fast forward to Colorado Spring, Dumbo says, from New York Times [2]:

President Obama responded angrily on Saturday to the mass shooting that took three lives, including that of a police officer, at a Planned Parenthood facility in Colorado Springs over the Thanksgiving holiday, calling the country’s recurring outbreaks of gun violence “not normal.”

“We can’t let it become normal,” Mr. Obama said in a statement. “If we truly care about this — if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience — then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.”

The one hundred twenty dead in Paris, and Dumbo calls for calm. Three postpartum people dead in Colorado Springs, and Dumbo reads the riot act.   Now just imagine the walk back the White House would forced to make if it ever developed that the suspected shooter, one Robert Lewis Dear, happened to Muslim.

Mean while, black on the plantation:   427 dead this year in Rahm Emanuel’s People’s Republic of Chicago.
