I've been looking everywhere, but can't find where Arpaio was convicted of terrorism.
It was proven in a court of law that for years Arpaio and his deputies were found guilty of racially profiling Mexican and Hispanic people based purely upon their ethnicity. Many were unlawfully detained for extended periods of time without legal representation. Many lost their jobs and financial security. Some were brutalized and physically abused while in custody, without legal cause. Arpaio lost the racial profiling class action lawsuit against him and he refused to cooperate with the courts. He was interviewed by CNN where he personally stated that it was an honor to be compared to the notoriously known terrorist group, the KKK....
He was charge with contempt of court and found guilty. First he was found guilty of racial profiling. That's a form of terrorism! The same type of terrorism that the KKK has been engaged for decades.
President Obama is simply acknowledging the important historical part Islam has played in the development of modern civilization.
At no point does he condone or advocate Islamic terrorism. It would be quite ignorant of him to equate traditional Islam with that of the minority of Islam extremists. He even states this fact in the video.
We must keep in mind the ethnic make-up of his audience. He is addressing a Muslim audience. Any leader, statesman, diplomat, or president knows that whenever attempting to influence an individual person or group, you must first attempt to demonstrate some level of empathetic understanding of their history, their contribution to the world, and their place in the speaker's worldview.
Sure, Obama's father was a Muslim.That's how he got his name. Yes, he was raised in Islamic Indonesia. However, he is not a Muslim! He simply demonstrates respect for the overwhelming majority of law-abiding, peace-loving, and pious Muslims of the world. Not renegade rogue Islamic extremists who are a distinct minority of people who call themselves, Muslims.
President Obama is a very intelligent and patriotic American. I was proud to be an American during his presidency!
He was worse than Bush2, as it was expected of Bush, not from some clown who destroyed Libya and Syria, right after winning the Nobel Peace Prize
lol....yeah that Nobel Peace Prize was a joke....even they admitted it that it was a mistake after 8 years of Obama's presidency but that's how the left acts. They give more importance and more weight to words than actions.
If the choice is between Obama and Trump, the clear answer should and always will be Obama. Trump's own inner circle of appointees all thinks he's a moron. Heck, virtually the entire white house thinks this. Is someone who is described as a moron by his closest allies someone you want running this country? Do you want to be lead by a moron at your own job, much less have him be your president? Answer that truthfully and you'll come to the same conclusion most sane ppl have already come to.

If you think President Obama was worse than Bush2, then you're perhaps more delusional than originally suspected.
Bush2 frabricated and constructed false fears in order to initiate a major offensive devastating strike against Iraq which totally destabilized the region, provided the impetus for ISIS, and created this unending military quagmire in which we find ourselves today.
President Obama wanted to wage an attack against the Assad Syrian regime after he chemially destroyed (murdered) hundreds of his own people with gas. President Obama then "drew a red line in the sand" marking both the magnitude of his moral resentment and his potential resolve, but this evoked strong ire from Congress. President Obama then was forced to balk. Without the support of Congress ( and thus, the American people) he then sought an alternative solution. At first, the surrender of tons of Sarin gas seemed to be acceptable. However, it later proved to be merely a dishonest trick. President Obama preferred a peaceful resolution over violence, which most inevitably would have cost many innocent Syrian civilian lives. President Obama should be honored for his initial pause in order to gain approval from the American people via Congress. Congress failed him! Strangely enough, President Obama could never garner the support of Congress throughout his presidency of eight years.
The fact Dems can't move on from Obama shows how their party is in trouble and has no one else
