SURGE MASHUP – Team Obama Attempts to Determine What a “Terrorist Attack” Is

01.07.2015 | Matt Fox |

Barack Obama’s White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. As news broke of this morning’s attack in France, Earnest was summoned to appear on various cable news outlets. But unfortunately for him, the administration had not yet settled upon whether to use the dreaded “T-word” yet.

That word, of course, is terrorism.

Earnest began by repeating that the incident was an “act of violence,” but it didn’t take long before anchors on both CNN and Fox News started questioning his reluctance to declare it an act of TERRORISM. Coupled with Earnest’s decision to discuss the “peaceful religion” of Islam, he ended up making himself look like a tremendous dope after even Secretary of State John Kerry called the act what it was.

Now take a look at our Surge Original Mashup above, as poor Josh attempts one narrative, fails, and is forced to change course…all before noon.

These administration guys should really start talking to one another, should they not?
