Dr. Keith Ablow: Obama Sees America as a ‘Bigger Threat’ than ISIS

‘He sees that our focus on autonomy, our desire to spread our ideas around the world has been a great plague’

TANTARO: "Some people have said that the president is delusional, that he doesn't understand the threat. But for your analysis, to be correct, he understands the threat, but something is preventing him from identifying it ... And is it his childhood? And again, I go back to that Cairo speech where -- if he just doesn't acknowledge the threat and takes his mind back to where he was as a child when he remembers the peaceful Islam, the threat won't exist if he doesn't acknowledge it?"

ABLOW: “It's that he's balancing threats, and to the president of the United States I believe that the United States of America is the bigger threat. That he sees that our focus on autonomy, our desire to spread our ideas around the world has been a great plague and he's really not up for the idea of saying, 'I'm with these guys against them,' because he sees them [ISIS] as people who have been put upon. That's where this whole notion comes from, ‘Build their economies, get them jobs and then they'll like us again.’ No, no, no. They won't like us again. They are fundamentally in a fundamentalist way opposed to our very existence."
