OBAMA'S CYNICISM ON FULL DISPLAY – AT 12:50 P.M. ET:  President Obama spoke today at the Pentagon.  Does anyone care?  From AP:

President Barack Obama on Sunday invoked Scripture and praised the resilience and diversity of Americans while attending a Pentagon ceremony honoring the 3,000 lives lost 15 years ago in the nation’s worst terror attack.

In what was Obama’s last 9/11 memorial service as the nation’s president, he urged Americans not to let its enemies divide them. US diversity — “our patchwork heritage” — is not a weakness, he said.

“It is still and always will be one of our greatest strengths,” he said. The nation must “stay true to ourselves, stay true to what’s best in us — that we do not let others divide us.”

Unbelievable.  He is the most divisive president I've seen in my time, a man who has set group against group, civilian against policeman.  Nobody calls him a unifier.

Speaking on a warm, sunny morning at the Defense Department’s headquarters, Obama said extremist groups such as the Islamic State group and al-Qaeda know they can never defeat America so they focus on trying to instill fear.

“As Americans we do not give into fear,” he said.

COMMENT:  Such tough talk, such weak policies.
