MANILA, Philippines (AP) - President Barack Obama lashed out Wednesday at Republicans who insist on barring Syrian refugees from entering the U.S., deeming their words offensive and insisting "it needs to stop."
"Apparently they're scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America," Obama said.
Mocking GOP leaders for thinking they're tough, Obama said overblown rhetoric from Republicans could be a potent recruitment tool for the Islamic State group. He insisted the U.S. process for screening refugees for possible entry into the U.S. is rigorous and said the U.S. doesn't make good decisions "based on hysteria" or exaggerated risk.
"We are not well served when in response to a terrorist attack we descend into fear and panic," the president said.

Widows and orphans, fine. As long as the orphans are under 10 years of age (they grow up real young out there)! No men between 10 and 60 are welcome!
ReplyDeleteObama needs to lay off the crack pipe...
ReplyDeleteWhy if Muslims are so charitable and peaceful have they not opened their countries for the refugee's?
ReplyDeleteHe's right about one thing "The US doesn't make good decisions 'based on hysteria' or exaggerated risk." His presidency alone is proof of that! This president (not capitalized on purpose) has worked for 7 years to tear our country's foundation apart, and unite us with the Muslims. I love how he smacks down Ted Cruz and his Christian views, and says his ideals go against "American Value's". Obama has no idea what American Values are. The very backbone of this country was founded on Christian principles, there would be no American Value were it not for that! As far as the GOP being afraid of "Widows and orphans", Let's see, the explosion today when police went to raid a building was because of a woman bomber. Women and children are trained from birth to be killers, if he really thinks bringing them here is going to change that, then lets start by opening up the White House to them for the remainder of his presidency, and see how well it works. There are 132 rooms we should be able to house a few thousand in there, and it's already got a fence around it, so they will be contained!
ReplyDelete72% of the refugees are single men. If they are married why leave their families. Probably just terrorists planning to return after killing Americans. Obama you are such an idiot.

There are no widow and orphans you freaking idiots. And when did it become our job to pick up and pay for these Syrian refugees when we have homeless children, orphans, babies and Vets in this country. Haven't been seeing the pictures? They are of young, fighting age men who will attack at a minutes notice. There are sleeper cells and drop off places for weapons. You people have seen nothing yet and you better be able to the right thing about who got us here.

ReplyDelete...Obama has no idea what American Values are.
You are correct and it is because he is and has been a radical Muslim in this country for years after being raised in Indonesia as a child and that is all he was taught and all he know. He only joined Jeramia Wrights church because they are both radical and made him feel at home.

And 15% to 25% of those are known terrorists.
Something to keep in mind is people keep saying the ISIS or ISIL is only a group of maybe 30,000. That may be correct, but ISIS isn't the only terrorist that we have to be worried about.
