Didn't Obama create the refugee crisis?
November 19, 2015 | Myself

Posted on 11/19/2015 5:57:44 AM PST by Crucial

I just have to ask whether Obama is the one really responsible for the refugee crisis. I read that Obama had a hand in the rise of ISIS not long ago but I have forgotten the particulars.

Obama created the crisis in Libya. Exiting Iraq allowed ISIS to take over there. Obama created the crisis in Syria trying to oust Assad.

Now he’s blaming Republicans and calling anyone who doesn’t want tens of thousands of Muslims coming here to kill us unreasonable.

No the fake crises was created by George Soros and other Leftists NGO’s. They kicked off the fake refugee scheme in Europe the same time they kicked of the fake one in Central/South America.

The intent is to convince very uneducated poverty stricken part of the southern hemisphere to migrate to the U.S. and Europe in order to overwhelm and destroy Western Civilization.

The plan is still ongoing as we speak and shows no sign of letting up. At present the National Militaries the citizens of Western Nations have paid to protect them refuse to secure the Nations Borders against un-armed threats. As was predicted by the Left.

That’s generally what I was getting at. I knew the dots lead straight to Obama.

In addition to Libya, Obama destabilized most of North Africa with his support of the Arab Spring uprising. This in turn has led to the mass “immigration” issue going on now in Europe as people flee the chaos left behind in North Africa.

Agreed. But Soros couldn’t have done this without the evil obama.

Is there any doubt? Odumbo is a puppet for Soros and one is as evil as the other.

Don’t give Obama that much credit.

The ‘refugee’ and/or ‘mass migration’ crisis is a phenomenon created by the leftist/Marxist politicians throughout the world.

The only way the leftists can stay in power is to import new voters who become beholden to their leftist masters.

In the case of the USA the leftists are importing Latinos.

In the case of Europe the leftists are importing Muslims.

In both cases the leftists lavish taxpayer welfare benefits on the imports with the understanding they will become future voters in support of leftist ideals.

The world’s largest vote buying scheme is going on in broad daylight and no one says a word.

Well, Obama and Soros are joined at the hip. Without a Syrian conflict, there would be no refugees or at least no cover to contrive a crisis. I know there are more details to Obama’s duplicity in Iraq where ISIS began.

Obama created the Arab Spring by lecturing at the University of Cairo in 2009. He called on Muslims to step up and re-invent themselves. He basically told them to revolt and seek justice. He went straight to Cairo saying, in his speech, “Salem Aleyhum” and hey, fellow Muslims, I am 100% right behind you in any future action you take.
That set off revolutions, coups, untold violence and civil war. massive emigration into Europe and now massive terror attacks. Who else can we blame for setting the world on fire if not President (rabble rouser) Hussein Obama? He got the planet into a destructive tumult and now he has his finger up his _____ for the entire world to see.

Bing or Google “did obama create the refugee crisis” & there will be half a dozen articles you can read on the matter. Bottom line, ‘yes’ he did.

Some interesting thoughts from this link at Hot Air:
http://hotair.com/archives/2015/11/18/is-that-a-dare-obama-threatens-to-veto-house-bill-that-would-change-vetting-of-syrian-refugees/

From Walter Russell Mead (The American Interest):
Obama’s own policy decisions—allowing Assad to convert peaceful demonstrations into an increasingly ugly civil war, refusing to declare safe havens and no fly zones—were instrumental in creating the Syrian refugee crisis. This crisis is in large part the direct consequence of President Obama’s decision to stand aside and watch Syria burn. For him to try and use a derisory and symbolic program to allow 10,000 refugees into the United States in order to posture as more caring than those evil Jacksonian rednecks out in the benighted sticks is one of the most cynical, cold-blooded, and nastily divisive moves an American President has made in a long time.

Allahpundit comments:
Sanctimony over refugees is Obama’s way of restoring his own moral superiority over people who’ve been complaining for years, entirely correctly, that his Syria policy is FUBAR and has contributed to the disaster. He can’t govern worth a sh*t and he doesn’t quite have the guts to do something really bold like close Gitmo amid the panic over ISIS, so instead he’ll lecture Chris Christie from a podium about how heartless he’s being towards Syrian refugees. It’s a simulacrum of liberal argumentation writ large: “My policies may be terrible but your motives are offensive, and that’s the real outrage.” Threatening to veto the bill, which does virtually nothing to change the process, is a continuation of that. Obama’s going to take a stand because he needs a foil to keep this distracting moral panic going. Why, this isn’t a fight about refugees or jihadis running wild on Obama’s watch, this is a fight over The Soul Of America. He can’t win a war with ISIS but maybe he can win a symbolic little skirmish like this.

Yes ,,, and he continues to formulate all the ingredients for the next attack on America . He is not stupid ,,, he knows exactly what he is doing to bring down our country . The fear of being labeled a racist or of causing a massive civil unrest has stymied congress from outing him as a traitor . God help us ,,, there are few in Congress willing to confront him head on .

Democrats blame Bush and conveniently forget that Iraq was stable and viable when we abandoned them to ISIS.

Obama even bragged about how great of shape Iraq was as justification for us leaving.

I think their strategy has change to a more dramatic course of action. Instead of creating new Muslim voters, I think they’re trying to create a permanent atmosphere of fear and terrorist attacks in the US or at least the threat of it to control the politicians.

The community organizer and caliphate con-man is not finished. Embed invasion forces inside the republic and call them “immigrants” or “refugees”.

Obama seems to have had three main goals as President:

1. Increase federal government control over people's lives (Obamacare, weaponizing the IRS to hamstring political opponents).

2. Create chaos in the Middle East to benefit radical Islam (and if possible increase the number of Muslims in the US).

3. Aggravate racial tensions in the US in order to create a large number of extremely angry African Americans with insatiable grievances (that can never be sufficiently satisfied).

He may be incompetent by the normal standards applied to a President, but he has made a lot of progress towards his goals.

But what I understand, he did more than stand aside and watched Syria burn. He fanned the flames. There’s a reason the Syrians attacked Benghazi.
