It was just last week that the regime was claiming the terrorists just needed jobs and the reasons they were terrorist was economic. Now they found out who Jihad John is.
Here is what Obama said.
"What’s true... is that when millions of people -- especially youth -- are impoverished and have no hope for the future, when corruption inflicts daily humiliations on people, when there are no outlets by which people can express their concerns, resentments fester. The risk of instability and extremism grow. Where young people have no education, they are more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and radical ideas, because it's not tested against anything else, they’ve got nothing to weigh. And we've seen this across the Middle East and North Africa.
And terrorist groups are all too happy to step into a void... They try to justify their violence in the name of fighting the injustice of corruption that steals from the people -- even while those terrorist groups end up committing even worse abuses, like kidnapping and human trafficking."
This is who Jihad John is.
"On 26 February 2015, the BBC and The Washington Post identified Jihadi John as Mohammed Emwazi, a 27-year-old Kuwaiti-born British man from a middle-class family who grew up in West London and graduated from the University of Westminster with a computer programming degree"

This guy was middle class with a college degree in computer programming. Once again Obama's view of the world is divorced from reality.
