Figures. Obama Blamed Climate of Poverty & Ignorance for 9-11 Attacks …(Hijackers Were All Well-Educated Children of Privelege)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, September 10, 2011, 11:23 AM
In a public statement released after the 9-11 attacks, Barack Obama blamed “a climate of poverty and ignorance” for the assault on America. Obama has repeated this claim that poverty breeds terrorism over the years.
For the record, the hijackers, including Mohamed Atta, were well-educated children of privilege. None of them suffered first-hand economic privation or political oppression.
Toby Harnden at The Telegraph reported:
Seven years ago, Barack Obama, then an Illinois state senator, issued a statement to his local newspaper the Hyde Park Herald. It was published on September 19th 2001 and recently reprinted in the New Yorker magazine…
1. State Senator Barack Obama, September 19th 2001:
“Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.
“We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.
“We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe-children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shores.”
And, it appears Obama hasn’t changed a lick in ten years.

9-11 came out of the religeous intolerance and bigotry within Islam. The world is growing more integrated and traditional islam wants its home turf to be pure bred sharia compliant…and they want to expand their caliphate empire to put the whole world under sharia law.

Everytime this idiot opens his mouth, vomit comes out. Everything he touches, turns to crap. He is a great plague on this country and the election can’t come soon enough.

Then there is this classic from the beloved rev wrong. Of course Hussein was out sneaking a smoke or nodding off, so he never heard the “sermon.”
From ABC:
In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda’s attacks because of its own terrorism.
Barack Obama, Rev. Jeremiah Wright
“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye,” Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

Osama Bin Laden was also the son of a billionaire.

Obama creates his own reality. Fact and history are malleable, twisted to his own ends. If he says it enough times, maybe people will believe it.
Fundamentally changing America, one lie at a time.

Didn’t I read that Bin Lauden was a billionaire?
Marsh626 commented:
Yes, leftists have managed to make this fuzzy line of reasoning extremely mainstream in a whole host of topics.
They blame crime on income inequality, lack of education, racism and social injustice.
Thus is the reasoning behind why they treat criminals like victims rather than monsters.
They’ve now carried over that ideology to explaining the motivations of islamic jihad terrorism.
It’s a way of explaining away the real underlying causes for these evil acts while being politically correct while doing so.
It’s also a line of reasoning that supports their wealth redistribution and big government worldview perfectly.
How do we fight crime and islamic jihad terrorism?
Why by helping the people committing these acts to have a higher quality of living of course.
*eye roll*
Due to political correctness, people don’t want to deal with the harsh reality that maybe fundamentalist islam really isn’t a tolerant religion of peace and maybe people commit crime because they’re innately savage?
No, of course not…
