Everyone who was old enough during Sept 11th to don’t forget knows how hard that day was for America. Family and friends of those who passed away were devastated. Not only that, however history books show everybody in the country on the time to be hurt by it. President Obama makes it seem like September 11th wasn’t as hard for the country as it truly was. A remark was created by in reaction to Obama’s remark.
What did Obama say?
President Obama put into words his feelings on terrorist attacks, including the September 11th attack. Bob Woodward
showed in his new book, “Obama Wars,” President Obama stating:
We can absorb a terrorist attack. We’ll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, the biggest attack ever… we absorbed it and we are stronger.”
This statement made Dick Cheney’s daughter really mad. His daughter is Liz Cheney.
Now for Cheney’s announcement
Liz Cheney was mad at Obama. This was as a result of the terror attack statement he made. The way she viewed it, Obama said clearly that he did not plan on using all of his power and resources to protect The United States. She said that Obama needed to explain.
CBS News reports her saying:
Americans expect our President to…use everyeach tool at his disposal to find, defeat, capture and kill terrorists. We expect him to…make it clear to our adversaries that an attack on the United States will carry devastating consequences. Instead, President Obama is reported to have said, ‘We can absorb a terrorist attack.’ This comment suggests an alarming fatalism on the part of President Obama… The President owes the American people an explanation.
Some want a conclusion from Obama
The Obama terror attack comment is raising a few heads. People want an explanation. The question on Bilal’s mind of 12 News is why the president would ever say something like that at all. He was another one concerned about what was said. He wanted to know why the president wouldn’t be doing everything he can to protect America. Then there are the people wondering why the President would be telling terrorists to go ahead and hit us. Since Cheney, and other people, love to criticize the Obama administration, Mitch Marconi thinks it is all just an overreaction. Either way, some kind of explanation is expected from Obama within the near future.
