Bring in thousands of radicals with no plans to assimilate, when they eventually attack then use it as a reason to take away guns (to keep us safe of course) and attack free speech (remember the Benghazi Internet video). Laws will be passed to ban "hate speech" meaning you can go to jail for criticizing Islam or the government immigration policies (see Germany).
First thing Obama does after these events is criticize the guns, not the radical ideology that poisons these people's minds.
Where did you come up with all that? The OP pointed out that once again Obama is incapable of saying "radical Islam".
Which he is, doesn't matter right now what who those on the left/right think. He is the one who has the job now, yet he can't address the issue.
That's the problem.
The OP's overall point in the many threads he's made on this is that the left is to blame entirely and are responsible since they alone have done nothing.
I've asked him (and anyone can answer) what the right has done, and have yet to get an answer.
Do I think Obama should say 'radical Islam.' Yes. Do I really care that he hasn't. Not really. He won't say it for political reasons. I think it's asinine to think he doesn't know what the threat is. But if you bring the religion into it, people start making sweeping assumptions. It's how we get Trump. Now, maybe if the left were a bit more willing to be critical of those who are the terrorists (and recognize them as Muslims), we wouldn't have to deal with the mockery that is this election.
I wish someone could explain why the words "Radical Islamic Terrorism" simply CANNOT pass his lips, or Hillary's for that matter. I just don't get it.
Why not let him explain it?

“There is no magic to the phrase ‘radical Islam,’ ” Obama said. “It’s a political talking point. It’s not a strategy. And the reason I am careful about how I describe this threat has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do with actually defeating extremism.”
“It doesn’t reflect our Democratic ideals,” said Obama, who spoke at the U.S. Treasury Department after a security briefing. “It will make us less safe, fueling [ISIS’s] notion that America hates Muslims.”
Makes sense to me. You may not like his explanation, but there it is.
As for Hillary..

"Making her own rounds on the morning news circuit, Clinton said she was “happy” to use the terms Republicans like Trump have badgered President Obama to use for years.
“From my perspective, it matters what we do more than what we say,” Clinton said on CNN’s “New Day.” “And it mattered we got bin Laden, not what name we called him. I have clearly said we — whether you call it radical jihadism or radical Islamism, I’m happy to say either. I think they mean the same thing.”
