President Obama Slams 'Yapping' Over 'Radical Islam' And Terrorism

NPR reports:

He called it yapping, loose talk, and sloppiness. President Obama dismissed criticism of his administration's avoidance of the term "radical Islam" and urged America to live up to its founding values Tuesday, speaking at length about inclusiveness and religious freedom.

Obama called out Republicans for criticizing the way he discusses terrorism and extremist groups — which follows the same logic as his Republican predecessor — and he directed particular attention to the GOP's presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump.

Regarding terms such as "radical Islam" and "radical Islamists," Obama said, "It's a political talking point. It's not a strategy."

The Yapper , in Chief, attempts to defend his failure.
