"absolute, unmitigated, one-hundred percent BS"

Why Obama Uses Meaningless Euphemisms Regarding Terrorism

By Debra Heine June 15, 2016

In what CNN called a "blistering verbal assault," President Barack Obama Tuesday rebuked GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump and lashed out at his Republican critics for having the presumption to criticize his policies in the  war on the terror, overseas contingency operation, war against violent extremism.

Much of Obama's venom was reserved for Mr. Trump, whose "yapping" about a ban on Muslims entering the country, he contended, is harmful to the country's national security. The president even went so far as to suggest that Trump's call for a Muslim ban was leading Muslims to attack Americans.

"We are now seeing how dangerous this kind of mindset and this kind of thinking can be," he said. "We're starting to see where this kind of rhetoric and loose talk and sloppiness about who exactly we're fighting, where this can lead us."
What an extraordinarily obnoxious thing for the president to say. Was he suggesting that Omar Mateen's deadly rampage at the gay nightclub was spurred by Donald Trump's "rhetoric and loose talk"? Is Obama off his rocker?
