So last Friday, President Obama gave his last press conference as Commander-in-Chief.

Yeah.

Undeterred by his would-be successors devastating loss to Donald Trump in the presidential election,

unsuade by Republicans' complete domination of Congress, state legislatures, and governor mansions.

He maintained his cool and collected self-aggrandizement.

Why not?

According to Obama, Obama has been a massive success. Perhaps the most

hilarious moments of delusion came when he talked about terrorism. He said, over the past eight years,

no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed an attack on our homeland that was

directed from overseas. He then continued, saying no attack had been executed in a rainstorm with the

attacker, driving a tractor with one hand, drinking a Miller High Life with the other, wearing a clown nose.

To be fair, Obama didn't actually say that last part.

But he may as well have.

In order to define away the problem of terrorism that has grown dramatically worldwide on his watch,

he simply spoke of terrorism as a problem of organized groups within defined territories,

which is not how terrorism actually works.

Terrorist groups can recruit without formal structures that can operate as independent cells

within various countries. Just three days after Obama's statements an alleged jihadi plowed

truck into a Christmas market in Berlin, the same day a Turkish terrorist murdered the Russian

ambassador to Turkey. These latest attacks are not outliers. In the past several years, we've seen terrorist attacks in Turkey and Germany and Belgium and Great Britain and Canada and Australia, among others. This sort of terrorism isn't relegated to foreign countries, of course. Here's an incomplete list of radical Islam-related terror attacks and attempts on American soil under Obama. Shootings of American military recruiters in Little Rock, Arkansas, the massacre at Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon bombing, and attempted bombing of the airport in Wichita, Kansas, hatchet attacks on New York City police officers, attempted shootings at the Drah Muhammad events in Garland, Texas, the attacks on military recruiters in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the massacre at the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center, the Orlando Nightclub shooting, the New York and New Jersey bombings and the Ohio State University car attack, just to name some.

Obama still thinks he can... at the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center, the Orlando Nightclub shooting, the New York and New Jersey bombings, and the Ohio State University car attack, just to name some.

Obama still thinks he can cover his abysmal record with closely drawn definitions of terrorism, which is the equivalent of Bill Clinton saying he's been faithful to his wife, except for certain areas, like sex, which is technically true so far as it goes, but it just doesn't go all that far.
