Subject: Obama Reiterates Refugee Promise

In a brief Easter weekend radio address, President Obama vowed to decimate the self-proclaimed Islamic State, but he said the United States will do so by offering an example of freedom, tolerance and open society.

"Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence; our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda — a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause," are paramount in the fight, Obama told Americans during his weekly radio address.

Admitting entry to Syrian and Iraqi refugees has become a divisive issue in the U.S. as well as Europe, but Obama made clear he has no plan to back off his promise to admit 100,000 to the U.S. this year.

"We have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, our counter-terrorism work, and our diplomacy," Obama said. "And that's the power of our example. Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence. Our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda – a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause."

In his brief speech, Obama underscored that the United States' has to engage Muslims as partners in the fight against terrorism.

Another example of his Muslim roots / faith. This also proves he has no knowledge of economics since it is cheaper to setup a safe zone in their country and keep them there. Why bring them to the US when our Government will not take care of our Veterans, Elderly, Children and Homeless? Spend Spend Spend Tax Tax Tax the US citizen and destroying our econmy.

I would like to reiterate that Obama need to spend the rest of his life in a Federal Prison. There was a time in America when a Traitor like Obama would have been shot dead with an Ounce of Lead!

This is good reason for every red blooded American to get out and vote Republican during our next election. More than likely this would be every good white American.
