Obama has repeatedly demonstrate that he cannot be trusted on foreign policy matters. He knew that Benghazi was a terrorist act, yet had Susan Rice appear on all the morning shows to lie to the public, blaming a random YouTube video. He also had Hillary lie to the public as well, although that comes naturally to her.
Yahoo News reported the following:
“Apparently, they’re scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” Obama said, in a dig aimed at Republicans.
But many Democrats weren’t buying what he said. In a major embarrassment for Obama, 47 Democrats abandoned the lame-duck president Thursday as the House approved fresh barriers for Syrian and Iraqi refugees trying to enter the United States.
Democrats complained that top administration officials who were sent to Capitol Hill to calm fears had failed make a convincing argument. “I’ve seen better presentations in my time,” Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, the third-ranking Senate Democrat, said a pause in accepting Syrian refugees may be needed, while Joe Manchin called for strengthening the refugee vetting process. Democratic Governor Maggie Hassan called for a total halt until the government can show the screening is as strong as possible, and even Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Senate’s intelligence panel, joined a Republican colleague’s call for restricting visas for anyone recently in Iraq or Syria.
If you want to donate food, water, tents, and clothes, go right ahead. I would not have a problem with that. As for bringing them over here from one of the most dangerous countries in the world to come live side by side with us? No thanks.
Who in their right mind would want people of that background to come live with them? And once they get here, what kind of job can they get if they can’t even read, write, or speak English?
Tell us what you think about these Democrats wanting to press the pause button on Obama’s refugee debacle. The winds are turning aren’t they? Share this on your Twitter/Facebook timeline and let us know how you friends feel also.
