The New Yorker's lengthy new piece on B. Hussein reveals his initial reaction to September 11. In a speech given a few days after the horrific terrorist atrocities, Obama makes excuses for the perpetrators, comes to the defense of Muslims, and implies that more American taxpayers' money should be flushed down the Middle East and showered upon people throughout the world to whom it doesn't belong:

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 […which usually…] grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair. […]

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.

These are not quite the priorities you would look for from a chief executive while this was still smoking:

Some will remember how humiliating it was to have the useless liberal rag Jimmy Carter in the White House when Iran invaded our embassy. The sniveling socialist post turtle Obama impersonating a President when the next 9/11 is inflicted will be a thousand times worse.
