Here’s One Terrorism Statistic The “Peace Prize” President Doesn’t Want You to See

Prior to 2008, Barack Obama was considered the man destined to save this country from his predecessor’s failures, the man who would end wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and end terrorism just because of who he was.

Nowhere was that expectation more apparent than when the President was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, based not on tangible accomplishment, but simply upon expectations.

In awarding the President, the Nobel committee wrote “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.”

That ‘better future’ didn’t quite pan out in regards to the threat of terrorism in our world. A new report indicates that terrorism-related deaths have more than quadrupled since Obama took office.

Via Breitbart:

The worldwide number of annual terrorist deaths has more than quadrupled since President Barack Obama was inaugurated in January 2009.

Deaths from terrorism increased 80 percent last year to an all-time-record of 32,658 people killed, compared to 18,111 in 2013. The number is up about 426 percent from the 7,654 killed by terrorists in 2008 under President Bush, according to the latest report from ‘Vision of Humanity.’

The 2014 economic cost of 13,370 terrorist attacks in 93 countries included property damage, medical costs, lost income for victims, and the indirect costs of preventing and responding to terrorist acts. The annual “Global Terrorism Index” report estimated those costs hit an all-time-high in 2014 of $52.9 billion.

After being nominated just weeks into his presidency, the Nobel committee wrote of Obama, “Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts.”

Considering 25,000 more people per year are losing their lives under Obama than they were under President Bush, it seems ‘dialogue and negotiations’ with terrorists aren’t working.

Perhaps it was Bush’s adherence to Ronald Reagan’s policy of “peace through strength” that actually helped make the world a safer, more peaceful place to live.

President Obama would do well to turn over his Peace Prize to the former President in light of these new facts.

  • Peace Prize given just because he adhered to the socialist attitudes and beliefs of the Nobel award givers both the organization and the country. He never intended to make this nation a better place for free thinkers but to make it the wealthiest new member of the One World Order of which he is an advocate until he double crosses that organization also and furthers the cause of Sharia Law worldwide

  • To this day, I still shake my head and wonder how the heck Obama qualied to receive the Nobel Prize for Peace???? He came from obscurity as a "commubity leader" then (because so many of us wanted to finally elect a person of color) we BLEW it for sure! Shame on us for not vetting who this person "Barack Obama" really was/is. I will not disrespect the position of POTUS as I do respect that is to be the person elected as our LEADER, but I can no longer respect this man. He has been the most "devisive" President to set back racial relations for at least 100 years for sure. I am so very worried about the future of our wonderful country. Is he really NOT a citizen of the US?.....is he a Muslim????....does he HATE America?????....I have no CLUE. All that I know is that he has destroyed what once was a safe country, respected by our Allies and feared by our Enemies. No more as he seems to ONLY want to be "Politically Correct" and not stand up for what if RIGHT for our Country. Shame on me for voting for him the FIRST time. I did NOT vote for him the second time. If you want more of the the SAME, then I guess you are voting for HC. I am definitely NOT. I want our country to, once again, be SAFE, RESPECTED and FEARED. The Liberals are selling us down the drain for sure. If HC is elected, I am seriously considering moving out of this country and asking Australia for asylum.....Call me crazy.....

  • Time to take that worthless piece of junk known as a "Peace Prize" away from the petulant President and throw it in the dumpster (along with his Presidency). He's obviously has no idea what he's doing, so I say Impeach the traitor!

  • Obama is now and always has been a child of Satan, he even fits the file of "The Son of perdition" spoken of in Holy Scripture. He never fooled me even when he ran for state political office back in 2007 and while he was a communists community org. He is still a Marxist and a communists and so is his WH advisor Valerie Jarrett and her whole family on both sides. How did so many American's get so taken in ?

  • The answer is obviously "No, we are not safer !", now getting on to the more pertinent question, "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ?" . . . Cancel out Obama's Executive Order privileges and take Martial Law completely off of the table, follow recommendations of our Military Commanders, hold ALL Americans accountable and prosecute them for infractions equally, regardless of whether a private citizen, politician, White, Black, Brown or any other color. . . We need to protect ourselves by stopping ALL Muslim immigration into our country and deport those already here if there is any evidence of affiliation with any terrorist organization. . . Let us not render ourselves, America, into the realm of incredulous expectations of this "Barracracy" that the Nobel people seemed to willfully enter, rendering themselves moot for evermore. . . .We need to take back our elections to ensure fairness via public scrutiny and oversight. . . .It's time to circle our wagons and rebuild from within, checking our baggage at the door. . . . We can do this. . . .We must do this !

  • Unfortunately for American and the civilized world political correctness placed a constitutionally "ineligible" in We the Peoples White House. Soaring rhetoric have little value in the market place of ideas. Words without positive and constructive acts are absolutely meaningless. The demonstrated failed policies have now placed the world on the brink of another World War. The bottom line, the PC "ineligible" in our White House "acts" prove his loyalty" and unfortunately for world peace, his loyalty is with the radical terrorist Muslims where ever they may be. lee1233
