After listening to the GOP attempt to make it appear that somehow they are better at terrorism, I started researching the stats and behold I found this blog with just the stats I was looking for already well researched. Take a look at it and pass it along. Do not allow the GOP to change the narrative to falsely claim Americans are safer with Republican governance.
TERRORIST ATTACKS AND PRESIDENTS
I compiled a pair of graphs to illustrate incidents of terrorism during each of the last three presidents, including President Obama, as a means of locking down what happened and when.
In terms of methodology, I covered the following types of terrorist attacks against American personnel, civilians and interests:
1) Domestic (Abortion-related attacks, Oklahoma City, Unabomber, Anthrax)
2) Domestic Islamic (9/11, WTC 1993, Beltway Snipers, Chapel Hill)
3) Overseas Islamic (Iraq, Afghanistan, USS Cole, Embassy Bombings)
4) Known Failed Attempts (Shoe Bomber, Underpants Bomber)
5) Overseas Attacks Against U.S. Allies (London, Madrid).
These categories should cover the basic forms of terrorist attacks against Americans whether abroad or on our soil.

(So we dont have to count it, right? Because they were just enjoying in their second amendment right? heh)
