Didn’t think President Obama could out-B.S. himself today? Boy, were you wrong.
After sharing that the “nightly news” makes it feel “like the world is falling apart” and that “social media” has alerted us to the fact that the world is “messy,” he gave us this:
Hang on: Obama tells audience in NY tonight "things much less dangerous now than they were 20 years ago, 25 years ago or 30 years ago" >>

Could’ve fooled us!
Keep telling yourself that-> Obama: "I promise things are much less dangerous now than they were 20 years ago, 25 years ago,or 30 years ago"

Does he even listen to himself anymore? Did he ever?
His Defense Secretary, his Secretary of State & PM of a Great Britain appear to disagree. If can't agree on threat, no wonder no strategy.
