I am outraged. Now, bearing in mind that Bob Woodward, being a member of the liberal elite, likely didn't hammer Obama as hard as he could have, just this one slip by our weak President is enough to call for his resignation. Yes, I know that would put the anti-intellectual fop Biden in charge for the next two years, but I can deal with a doofus Prez a lot easier than I can deal with the current devious, sell-us-down-the-river scumbag currently living large off of all of us, and trying to buy his way into permanent power with my grandchild's yet-unearned wages.
Obama must go. This statement, no matter how much he tried to qualify it, shows that he isn't fit to lead a crew of grease monkeys in an oil-change emporium. I'm not going to try to ascribe a motive that he might hold for saying this horrible thing, the single most revealing sentiment he has expressed so far in his political life, except maybe holding a lavish State Ramadan Dinner after refusing to host the traditional non-sectarian National Prayer Breakfast at the White House.
People, this man (and I use the term in the biological sense only) has just given the green light to our enemy, global Islamic Jihadists, to come over here an take a shot at us.
Here's how it would happen.
It isn't going to be a sophisticated attack like 9-11, but it will likely be more deadly. The next attack will resemble the Palestinian Intefadas, or uprisings, which have cost Israel a significant part of their resources to fight off, including human resources.
On a given day, probably some Islamic mullah's birthday or similar, likely during our Christmas season, a large number of the estimated 10,000 Islamic illegal aliens we have here* will take their Jihadist actions, all at a certain hour on a certain day. Most of them will get into their cars or trucks or SUVs, head for the nearest crowded shopping mall, and commit mass assault by auto on as many citizens as they can find bunched together at one place, maybe several places if they are skillful drivers. Others may use firearms to accomplish mass murder at crowded locations.
The Islamic world will cheer after these coordinated attacks, all of us will mourn, but one man (in the biological sense only) will shrug it off. After all, he has already told us that it doesn't matter, "we can absorb another attack".
I rate the chances of this happening within the next two-plus years of the Obama presidency as at least 50-50. The only unpredictable detail would be the extent of the attack(s). After the initial attack, some of the left-edge groups would probably join in, trying to take out THEIR targets, namely you and I.
What can YOU do about this predictable turn of events BEFORE it happens? Easy answer: "harden the target". Get armed, if you are not already. Stay away from crowded venues if you can, especially the public approaches to those venues that are vehicle-accessible. You will not be able to depend on your local authorities to stop this form of mayhem, simply because other than the time and date of the opening of hostilities, all the attackers will operate as lone assassins. Our Casper Milktoast internal intelligence apparatus can't (and now, WON'T) be tracking these individuals, who have blended into our communities. Their chosen weapon, motor vehicles, can't be banned, although you might look for the Government to give them serious aid and comfort by trying to suspend the Second Amendment (and probably the First, as well).
President Obama gave us hints of his mindset before, but this new book by Woodward gives us all we need to know: protecting the USA is NOT his top priority, sliming us all down into a socialist hell is, and so we can't trust him to protect us.
For that, Mr Obama deserves to be fired, but we can't do that for two more years. We'll have to be content with the next best thing: firing all his sycophants in the Congress, and in our State and local governments as well.
Front us every politician running for office, of either political party, ans ask them their reaction to the words Woodward wrote, and the quote from Obama. Ask those pols what they think of Obama's leadership qualities. If you get any answer other than that Obama ought to resign the office immediately, write that politician off your list to support. In fact, do better than that: support their opponent. Now, I imagine that Democrat pols of good character will run as fast as they can from Obama now, if they haven't already, but ask them anyway, and pin them down: do they support a weak American President who will do nothing more than mouth a few words during or after such an attack, or sic the ineffectual Homeland Security sturmtruppen on US, NOT THE BAD GUYS, or will they take a principled stand and openly criticize the President for his shameful and cowardly attitude.
It's up to us now, people, we can't depend on the leadership any longer. Keep your heads about you, go armed in public, after practicing with those arms**, and above all, ALL use your senses to keep yourself out of harm's way. We aren't looking for this fight, but we don't have to, it will be brought TO us.
God save our souls.

*I read an intelligence estimate gleaned from stats from the Border Patrol's actual captures of illegal invaders, and as a percentage of the ADMITTED 12,000,000 illegals here already, there are likely 10,000 Middle Eastern men between the ages of 17 and 40. Yes, I do, in fact, believe that each and every one of those middle-easterners is a potential Jihadist.
** Practice precision shooting at small targets crossing in front of you with regular motion, as in being able to reliably hit a target through a moving window. This probably can't be practiced at most ranges, but you CAN get most of the practice to enable this skill just by practicing shooting at a small target while on the move. Remember that the assassin's vehicle will be moving, and you have to hit HIM to stop the attack. No one carries a concealed handgun powerful enough to stop an engine, that's only in the movies. If you are targeted by such a vehicle-borne assassin while in a crowd, draw your weapon and move laterally away from the crowd, preferably so the assassin has to pass between you and the crowd. You will then have a clear shot as he passes. Your shot-fall background won't be entirely safe, but in this case, you've got to take that chance. Just qualifying with and carrying your pistol doesn't cut it. You have to actually be able to win a battle, under any attack scenario, with that gun you're carrying. Is it enough gun? Can you hit a moving target with it? Answer both of those questions "yes", and you have prepared to do your part when we are attacked again.
Bravo Zulu !
This reminds me of the mood right after 9/11. At that time I had to make daily trips back & forth across the James River, which is about a 4-1/2 mile bridge & tunnel between Newport News & Norfolk, VA. Thoughts of ambushes in the tunnel (shades of Afganistan) were pretty common, especially after a pipe bomb was found in the ventilation room. I decided to upgrade from a handgun only & included one of my M-1 Garands in the trunk.
Much comfort with only a small change of habits.

When shooting into an oncoming windshield, the bullet will take a slightly downward trajectory ( +/- 4degrees). If the car has stopped, or is at a creep, then keep that in mind, and aim at the normal hairline (bald or not) of the driver.
Speed matters though. Don't forget to figure in lead for vehicular velocity. If the car is +20mph, aim for the mouth or the point of the chin, and that should give enough latitude to hit from the cranial vault to the neck.
You don't have to practice that on moving cardboard targets. You just have to first, be a good shot, and second, visualize the hell out of it.
But when you visulize it, be sure to include all of the built in eyeball and muscle memories of proper marksmanship into your programming. You'll follow that programming if the S ever hits the F.
