Obama Declares Victory On Refugee Fight: ‘We’ll Be Able To Proceed’
Breitbart ^ | Novemmber 19, 2015 | by Charlie Spiering

After two days of condemning Republicans, President Obama is declaring victory now that it’s clear that Congressional Republicans won’t successfully block thousands of refugees from Syria resettling into the United States.

“My expectation is, after the initial spasm of rhetoric, that people will settle down, take a look at the facts, and we’ll be able to proceed,” Obama said during a press conference with Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Still busy with international travel, Obama spent time in two different press conferences overseas trashing Republicans for being “un-American” for wanting to block additional Syrian refugees into the country.

Yesterday, Obama issued a veto threat of the proposed House “American SAFE Act of 2015” which would codify additional layers of security to the refugee program to ensure that the Syrians entering the country were not a threat to national security.

It is unlikely that a veto-override vote in the House could succeed, and Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has indicated that he will not attempt to defund the program in a larger government funding bill.

The dems can’t help themselves. They know they’re hemorrhaging blue collar voters, all that’s left is to motivate their hard left useful idiots.

Yep. Who knows? Trudeau is the worst thing that could happen to Canada , at the worst time.

Private orgs and stuff are contracting with the feds and getting $$$ to take in the refugees. It is insidious. These same groups use that money to lobby the government to bring in more refugees.

Obama does “if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.”

Many religious-based “charities” are selling their souls to help invade America. May they experience Righteous Justice for their crime.

But practically speaking the states administer all aspects of the program

In Tennessee they subcontract to Catholic Charities.

This man has been on a world tour trashing this country and it’s citizens the past couple of days. Pure embarrassment.

Everything he says is so infuriating I can no longer talk peaceable with any Democrats. Maybe my parents but I don’t like doing it.

Same here. I no longer keep up with my old college friends. We were all leftists then, but I grew out of it. I can't stand to listen to their anti-American BS. It would be like staying in touch with friends who were communists in the cold war or Nazis in WW2.

If he vetoes it and it is not overridden because of Democrat votes...WHEN the attack comes, and when a foreign national is identified as involved...there will no longer be a “President” Obama or a Democrat party, neither could function beyond that event. His statement is a signature for the extinction of both. Do you believe we are going to get hit? Would you bet heavily on it? I would...Obama is betting everything against it. He is wrong and he will lose everything.

I think that they do this in every state that Obama has planned to put the refujihadists in.

And I don't think they are Catholic.

No he’s not going to proceed in GA. Our Gov signed an executive order to keep them out.
