Obama's Policies Make Terrorist Attacks More Likely

The U.S. is at greater risk of terrorist attack because of the Obama administration's actions, Newt Gingrich said Monday.

In a chat with POLITICO readers, Gingrich also called the administration’s response to the North Korean missile launch a “vivid demonstration of weakness in foreign policy.” He said Obama’s proposals for a resumption of nuclear arms limitation talks reflected “a dangerous fantasy that runs an enormous risk. ... Not since Jimmy Carter have we had an administration this out of touch with reality.”

“Dick Cheney is clearly right in saying that between the court decisions about terrorists and the administration actions, the United States is running greater risks of getting attacked than we were under President Bush,” said the former speaker of the House and Georgia congressman.

Gingrich made his comments in a live reader chat in POLITICO’s Arena forum, where he was asked about former Vice President Dick Cheney’s recent assertions that the Obama administration’s decision to close the detention center at Guantanamo, among other actions, was making America less safe.

In his comments, Gingrich blasted Obama over a broad array of policy decisions and comments. - Politico Story

I don't think that there is any intention to make things more dangerous, I just don't think that they know what they are doing. Some of the decisions just haven't made sense. Obama preached that we shouldn't act out of anger with AIG, but the shutdown of Gitmo was exactly that.
