Obama Throws 9/11 Victim’s Families Under the Bus

Presidential hopeful, Donald J. Trump has delivered scathing criticism of President Barack Obama’s veto last week of a policy that would have made it possible for the families of the people who died in the attacks of September the 11th 2001 to sue the Saudi Arabian government. Trump called the move “a disgrace,” and “shameful.”

“President Barack Obama’s calloused and revolting veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act will go down in history as one of the lowest points of his, or any presidency,” Trump said.

“This legislation, the product of a bipartisan effort passed unanimously in both houses of Congress, would have made it possible for the families of the victims of the worst attack on our country in history- nearly 3,000 innocent men and women slaughtered by radical political Islamic terrorists on September 11, 2001, the chance to seek and possibly obtain justice in a U.S. court of law,” Trump continued.

But the President doesn’t want the victim’s families to have that chance. America was outraged and shocked when the story of the missing pages of the 9/11 commission became public knowledge.

The reaction of Saudi Arabia to the possibility of their publication made it all but clear and certain that they are, at least partly, responsible for the deaths and damage done on that fateful day. The Saudi government immediately threatened to cut off the U.S. from access to their oil supply- or raise prices to prohibitive levels should the victim’s families be allowed to sue.

It was a mea culpa that should have rocked the world- but it was, as always- under reported. But for those who are paying attention, the Saudi’s reflexive defensiveness over the issue made it clear that not only did they have a hand in the attack, but that any American politician who showed any sympathy whatsoever to them over it- is at least highly suspect.

Now, it is common knowledge that the Clinton’s have taken millions of dollars in ‘pay-to-play’ money from the Saudi Arabian government- and now Barack Obama moves in to deflect his Saudi partners from litigation.

“The fact that President Obama has chosen to deny the parents, spouses, children and loved ones of the people who tragically died in that horrendous attack their fair chance to gain needed closure on this- no doubt the most painful event of their lives- is an absolute disgrace to the office of the president, and an insult to the American people- who he is meant to serve,” Trump added.

“I’ve met many of these people. They are magnificent people- and as a lifelong New Yorker myself, I am saddened that, for now, they will not have the chance they deserve to receive justice.”

It is, perhaps, the most glaring point of contrast between Donald Trump and his opponent- and the administration that supports her. It shows that where the incumbent party would strain to show more contempt toward the American people and the principles of liberty- but that the wound caused, and the wounds exacerbated by that callousness, are something that only Donald Trump seems to care to address.

President Obama argued the bill would undermine national security by opening the U.S. government and its officials up to lawsuits by anyone bringing accusations of terrorism against the U.S., either rightly or wrongly.

In other words, Barack Obama is afraid of being accused of supporting terrorism. Let’s put that another way; the President believes that the United States would be threatened by any lawsuits over accusations of its having been a party to or supporting terrorism. It’s an executive privilege version of pleading the Fifth.

The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act passed in Congress with almost unanimous bipartisan support. It cleared the final obstacle only a few days before the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attack which killed nearly 3,000 people- and more if you include those who have died of illnesses resulting from breathing the dust of the rubble.

“I have great sympathy for these victim’s families,” Obama wrote in a letter to the Senate with his veto message. “But, this bill would damage U.S. national interests. That is why I have vetoed the bill.”

At this point, the American people know what he means when he says, ‘U.S. national interests.’ He means the interests of the Democratic party, and George Soros.

Congress intends to override the president’s veto.

Trump concluded, “If elected president, I will sign any legislation like this wholeheartedly, should it reach my desk.”
