Flashback: Obama ridicules the GOP for worrying about women and children refugees:
President Obama is lashing out at Republican politicians who oppose allowing Syrian refugees into the U.S., accusing them of being “scared of widows and orphans.”
Speaking to reporters Wednesday morning in the Philippines, Obama scoffed at attempts to block refugees following the Paris terror attacks as “political posturing” that “needs to stop.”
“Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” Obama said of Republicans. “At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of three year old orphans. That doesn’t seem so tough to me.”
Who’s afraid of women? I mean, really.
Obama defended the screening for Syrian refugees as the “most rigorous process conceivable,” hours after White House officials held a conference call with governors to reassure them about the security procedures for refugees.
Tashfeen Malik passed a Department of Homeland Security Counterterrorism background check.
And you know who greased the skids for Malik’s entry into the US?
That would be one Barack Obama, who relaxed the rules for fiancée waivers.
Orphans? Did someone say orphans?
Did someone say kids?
How long before we see this?
[youtube]https://youtu.be/Qk_SCVB0DWc[/youtube]How long before the mother of a six month old who was willing to go on a suicide mission and abandon the baby uses a baby in a suicide mission?
We seem not to have learned. The biggest lesson from 9-11 was to be prepared to expect the unexpected. No one would ever have imagined anyone could use a loaded civilian passenger jet as a missile. No one could expect a woman suicide bomber. No one could imagine a woman going on a mission and leaving behind a six month old baby.
So who could imagine a child suicide bomber or a using a child as a killer?
Who could possibly fear women and children immigrants, eh, Barack?
Obama still hasn’t learned the single most important lesson from 9-11. His arrogance and hubris prevent it. That’s scary.

If we assume as I have that he is one of them, all his statements make complete sense!
Jerome Corsi’s book of 2008 had this man pegged from the beginning!
None of what Obama does makes any sense at all unless you apply the worst level of cynicism to his motives. There is no other explanation. No one is this stupid. Not even Biden is this stupid. This is willful stupidity.
Looking at it from that standpoint, what does Obama feel he has to lose? He gets to play the humanitarian. Any attack can be blamed on some provocation. Any attack will be the fault of the NRA… or Hercules. Or Union Carbide. And Obama’s cadre of excusers will abide.
Bush at least worried about the nation.
How sexist-like, looking down his nose at the female jihadists, I am sure they can kill lots of people just like heir male counterparts. I bet he looks at his own daughters as only good for birthing.
Obama cares about ISIS only because it is making life harder for Muslims. I don’t think he hates America, I think he hates what American society is, its history, and the fact that not everyone in America sees things as he does, all things he thinks can either be made up for or altered to make a more pleasing communist Paradise. (Not socialist; leftists say ‘socialism’ because it’s a step toward the ultimate goal, where people like Obama, Liz Warren and Bernie get to run the stupid populace.)
He looks on ISIS as a problem FOR MUSLIMS, because it makes Muslims look bad. All Islamic terror is troublesome because it causes Americans to look into Islam, and see what even the ‘moderates’ believe (check the PEW polls on the beliefs of ‘mainstream’ Muslims around the world). He really does want ISIS to go away because they’re not doing the long-con of Muslim growth, they’re fighting in a way Americans can understand–not indoctrination, but gunfire.
All I need to know about Obama’s supposed record against terrorism that his defenders here blab about is this display of priorities We didn’t bomb ISIS oil wells because of environmental damage concerns.

You know, it’s disrespectful to show Mrs. Islamic Terrorist’s uncovered face…
In other news Obama proud of his administrations policy of hiring disabled workers, “We have reserved places in our refugee screening for developmentally delayed people, including those with no foresight or imagination whatsoever. Their ability to judge only on superficial factors will facilitate high productivity in checking the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees we intend to take in next year. It is expected that such a typical screener will be able to process 100 or more refugees a day with their unique ask-no-question-beyond-are-you-a-refugee attitude.”
America doesn’t need them, they bring no special skills that we have a shortage of, they do not deserve the aid and comfort of welfare programs, and CAIRs bullying certain school districts to allow muslim prayer, christian prayer strictly forbidden in any public school. 22 verified islamic terrorist training camps all under the watchful eye of the FBI, boy theres a good neighborhood. What lesson has he or will he learn?
You’re really a bunch of fear mongering pea brains.
About 10% of American doctors are muslim
The rightwing of America is so afraid of TERRORISM ! that they poop in their pants every time they see the word ISIS.
about 15000 people are murdered in the USA each year. Very very few are killed by terrorists at either end of the political spectrum.
The rightwing of the USA enables terror by publicizing the few instances when it does occur. Dr J do you consider ISIS terrorism in the USA to be more of a danger than the INVASION OF DISEASED KID? or OBAMA HAS ALLOWED EBOLA INTO THE USA MILLIONS MAY DIE!!!
Americans are 10 times as likely to die by being hit by lightning as they are to die from TERRORISM !!
I thought the most important lesson to be learned from 9/11 was
don’t invade Iraq a country that had nothing to do with 9/11
Bin Laden said that 9/11 was done in the hope that the USA would invade a muslim country and Bush gave him TWO invasions.
Now ISIS doesn’t want any muslims escaping to the USA so of course we should do again exactly what our enemy wants us to do.
One reason that conservatives gave for keeping out Jewish refugees from Hitler was that Some NAZI agents might sneak in or some Jews might be forced to become NAZI spies sort of like what they are saying about the Syrian refugees.
Anne Frank’s father was refused a refugee visa
As far as the who could imagine that meme: suicide bombing for terror did not begin with muslims it began en mass with the Tamil Tigers
@john: Is that what you want here the tamil tigers situation, 15% population of terrorists guerilla fighters and assassins here on our soil, your argument seems to be.
A bit of history of these immigrants
Tamils originally immigrated to Sri Lanka from southern India and make up 10 to 15% of the population, compared to the majority Sinhalese, who constitute about 75%. In 1972, the Sinhalese-controlled Sri Lankan government declared Sinhala and Buddhism the official language and religion. The Tamils, who practice Hinduism and have their own language, took this action as an affront, and Vellupillai Prabhakaran founded the Tigers soon after. The group is formally known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). (See pictures of Sri Lanka on the brink of civil war in 2006)
During the first years of their existence, the Tigers were one of several resistance groups competing for support from the Sri Lankan Tamil population. But after a 1983 LTTE attack on Sri Lankan security forces sparked riots across the country that left hundreds of Tamils dead, they emerged as the dominate Tamil insurgent group. Since then, the Tigers have plotted many brutal attacks, including more than 200 by suicide bombers, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. Tens of thousands of Sri Lankans have been killed in the conflict and more have been displaced. The LTTE has bombed public buildings and transportation hubs, Buddhist temples and other locations, and is known for missions involving female suicide bombers and for recruitment of child soldiers. Fighters reportedly wear cyanide capsules around their necks that they swallow if they are about to be captured by government forces. The Tamils have ground and sea forces and are well armed with rockets, grenade launchers and other weapons.
@john:
What is most frightening is the agenda-driven politics of the so-called leaders of this nation at a very critical time. While we are completely on our own to protect ourselves, the left, in preparation for their goal of having their thumb completely on the lives of citizens, it trying to deny citizens their right to self defense. As frightening is the number of idiotic dim-wits…. john… that dutifully agree with every stupid excuse this administration concocts to mask their gross incompetence and inability to do their duty.
And bin Laden has his ass absolutely kicked and lately he has said… NOTHING. Because he is DEAD. While we had a leader in the White House, we put a whipping on al Qaeda and terror. When idiots decided to replace national security with “Hope and Change”, we got ISIS. Thanks, idiot liberals.
And what is ISIS doing to keep Muslims in the territory Obama has ceded them?
15,000 deaths? Hey, it’s you whiny leftist windbags that fret over the killings that you can take political advantage of, even thought your stupid, moronic policies of gun control cause the bulk of them. Now you want to ignore the terror threat, too? I don’t remember you merchants of stupidity talking about how there was no terror threat after 9/11; you wanted to blame Bush for not preventing it. Now, you want to pretend there is no threat and support Obama for allowing attacks to hit us despite warnings. You had best hope and pray Karma doesn’t catch up with you and your loved ones because Obama is doing nothing to protect any of you.
Leftists still try to claim we invaded Iraq because of 9/11. We didn’t, and it wasn’t part of Bush’s reasoning. You folks still think history began with Bush, and he is blamed for all things.
You seem to think radical Islam just appeared sometime in the 90’s, due to Bush 1’s invasion.
You guys are just plain stupid.
@JSW: You could have a point but for one detail; liberals don’t think. They repeat.
@Bill:
Bill,
You know, in high school I read The Village Voice, The Nation, etc. and also National Review, etc. because I really believed that adults tried to get all the information they could before coming to a conclusion. From the leftist publications I also got the idea that liberals genuinely believed in facts, not ‘spin,’ and that conservatives were all locked in their same small-minded circle of non-factual beliefs.
I went on to work in social services, and it took me years because I’m slow to think the worst of liberals–I mean, they CARE about ‘people,’ so I must be the bad one for thinking so little of them.
Well, I eventually did learn. Liberals are not open-minded, except in the sense that Open Mindedness is a label, like Liberal, that doesn’t mean what the dictionary would tell you those labels mean. Now that I’ve entered my sixth decade on the planet, I can’t ignore the endless evidence that liberals don’t care about facts. I know it took me a long time to catch up to what many others realized long ago, but in my defense, I was genuinely open-minded for a long time. And, I think, I was correct, because I learned a lot about liberals.
For one thing, they lie, a lot, and they feel good about it, because in their minds, they’re just using a tool against the Bad People (the folks who don’t agree with them). One thing that no one seems to discuss in the Dem debates that I found very significant was Hillary Clinton–a woman who in her role as sec’ state, ‘fought’ Al Qaeda and ISIS–said the enemy she’s proudest of having is Republicans–her fellow Americans.
How can one be a liberal, to champion diversity, when one’s favorite enemy is someone who just doesn’t share your political party?
Sorry to pontificate, but the responses to Obama’s ineptitude from liberals have me thinking, apparently a lot more than they think about anything that contradicts their very narrow worldview.
Staying on topic:
Seems pretty clear what Obama (and his puppeteers Jarett and Soros) want. In this drive to make America just another third world nation, he needs to insure that a radical,violent fanatical Islamist “insurgency” is imported and entrenched in order to put all us Americans in our place. Think about it this way and all his actions fit.
He’s learned the one that says you don’t launch a multi-trillion-dollar ground war when there’s no clear path to an acceptable and stable state of affairs at the end.
@Greg: His predecessor, an actual leader, my not have had a clear vision to an acceptable and stable state of affairs, the fact is that he achieved it.
Then, Obama ruined it and now we have ISIS.
You really need to pad out Bush won the war but Obama lost it a bit more, so the absurdity of the statement isn’t quite so obvious.
Iraq was a bad idea from the get go. There never was a clear expression of what the stable point of resolution might be—particularly after we thoughtlessly removed Iraq’s highly competent and professional military establishment and replaced it with a hastily assembled crew of rank amateurs. We threw together a new government in the same fashion. And then locked in a departure date.
So, here you go, Mr. Obama; sort it out and make it work, or it’s all your fault.
