Obama Calls Terror Attack Random Shooting
2015-02-10
[Breitbart] President Barack Obama has called the terror attack on Jews in a kosher supermarket in Paris last month an act of random violence, rather than a terror attack or an antisemitic attack. Obama’s remark appears in an interview with Matt Yglesias of Vox.com. The president calls the attackers “violent, vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.” He elides past the religion of the attackers or the victims in an attack that claimed four innocent lives.

Obama was responding to a sympathetic question by Yglesias about whether “the media sometimes overstates the level of alarm people should have about terrorism and this kind of chaos, as opposed to a longer-term problem of climate change and epidemic disease.” While stating that Americans were right to be concerns, Obama agreed that the media had overstated the problem of terror because of a general tendency towards sensational reporting: “If it bleeds, it leads, right?”
The girl friend of an attacker was seen recently in an ISIS video. This Obama individual needs to get out of the Oval Office for all it represents to the free world.

#3  Measles outbreaks have been random too. [However usually traced to someone coming from outside or locals who travel to outside regions contract the disease and subsequently return and transmit the infection to the local population].

#1  “violent,vicious zealots who behead people or randomly shoot a bunch of folks in a Jewish deli in Paris.”

There, fixed it for him. Assuming he will one day leave office, could we order the permanent shunning of the mawkish word 'folks' from the common language ?
