I disagree and it doesn't even make sense the way he explained it imo.

He's making it seem like Obama stepped into office and created a new foreign policy and American culture overall. The system has been in place for over 200 years and terrorists are formed from the hatred of how we live our everyday life. Obama has no control over how we live our daily lives or western culture as a whole.

yeah I wouldn't phrase it that way because it sounds like he's blaming Obama for everything America does. What I believe he MEANT was that America is the biggest terrorist organization in the world, and as president Obama is the biggest one (cause he does nothing to stop it)

I don't agree with that either, biggest source of terrorism meaning that people don't agree with America's lifestyle so they choose to become terrorists then yes but no, I wouldn't call America the biggest terrorist organization.

The definition of terrorism is apparently: The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims

That definitely sounds like America's foreign policy to me.

Lyrically he's not as vapid as I assumed he'd be, more Kanye than primetime thug? 'Dumb It Down' is pretty sick, but Fiasco's production style I'm never gonna be big on, it's made for clubs.
aye!

like your vocab man!

"Primetime Thug". very very well said.

Wow, Lupe looked like a dumbass by using the wrong words to explain a fairly reasonable point. You know you ****ed up when O'Reilly is DEFENDING Obama.

yeah Bill got him flustered, he couldn't take the pressure from Mr. O'Reilly

All he had to do was break out the definition of what terrorism is.
