I think Obama's statement can stand alone. What comes after or before does not mean he is being taken out of context.

Quote:
It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair."
This is a typical elitist comment and gives more insight to the real Obama. Not a lot different than his cling to guns & religion statement. Never mind that Bin-Laden came from money, or that that 9/11 terrorist had fairly good educations and were not living in poverty. In other words, if we could just lift up all you poor impoverished un-educated people of the world, then terrorism would be a thing of the past......bull!
