Gowdy’s blistering response to Obama’s ‘widows and orphans’ jab hits a nerve
Biz PAC Review ^ | 11/20/2015 | Nicole Haas

Posted on 11/22/2015 3:28:47 AM PST by HomerBohn

Congressman Trey Gowdy has had about all he can take of President Obama's divisive rhetoric, and he's not alone.

Gowdy, chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, is receiving a lot of praise for his opening statements during today's hearing meant to address the Syrian refugee crisis.

"The president says we are scared of widows and orphans," Gowdy said.

"With all due respect to him, what I'm really afraid of is a foreign policy that creates more widows and orphans."

At that point, Gowdy might as well of gotten up and walked out, but the class act congressman kept the pressure on. "So maybe where he ought to start is a foreign policy in the Middle East and Syria where people can go back to their homelands, which is their preference," Gowdy continued. Gowdy received mountains of accolades for representing the majority of concerned Americans.

"With all due respect to him..."

I love this expression. Whenever I see it, I imagine the level of respect actually afforded by the speaker, to be ZERO. Which, in the case of (p)Resident Zero is precisely appropriate...

Its standard leftist-speak. You say the diametric opposite of the truth with a straight face. Other examples: restricting abortion (even enforcing medical law) hurts women; we need to tax people more; Obamacare is good economics, etc.

I'd urine test Obama at this point. (Post #6)

Something that should be mandatory and done daily, I think. I agree 100% that something is not right with that wily, wild child. The gangster-in-chief.

Somebody asked me if I thought Obama was intelligent. I said, No, he is not. What he is, is sly and clever and crafty. This is where the left goes over the cliff - they conflate intelligence and cleverness (see for example Hillary Clinton).

"O claims that if we refuse to accept the immigrants,it would be used as a recruiting tool for ISIS."

Yeah, but referring to them as the "JV team" and bragging about how he has contained them, doesn't make them more determined?

What an ass.

I’m with you on this, DJ.

There is no respect due to this maladjusted, narcissistic demented mental midget.

Remember the line Obama drew in Syria? Turns out it was yellow. Where is Barney Greenblatt when we need him?

His problem is that he spends entirely too much time in contemplation while sprawled on our oval orifice divan contemplating his navel. He wonders, being a gay-boy, what its purpose was and what is its relationship to him.

These are quiet times for the demented pervert where he yearns for a hairless boy to serve as an intern.

With all due respect to him

Gowdy should drop this old Jack French Kemp line. It implies one is hedging his bets and is unsure of what he is about to say.

Still, he has been more successful in the office than most of his predecessors combined. He has not been stopped on a single matter that I can recall; it he was, it was something quickly forgettable. Crafty, yes, but easily able to fool the American people.

Poor Obama.

First, numero uno with Bastard Barry was climate change. Now it’s depositing Muslim killers to undisclosed places in our nation now reduced to pitiful status.

He’s frantically working hard to finish his job of changing America, but he shouldn’t worry. With a Republicrat Congress led by two imbecilic fools he need not worry.

Are you trying to be funny, or are you a trolling Obamabot?

During WWII, the US was not being run by a federation intent on destroying it. (Of course, there were Soviet agents in high positions, but they were not a majority.)

Obama doesn’t want to infuriate muslims? Tells us a lot. Muslims are his BFFs.

Whose responsibility is it to remove a treasonous president?

Yes, Gowdy is correct, but will he really do anything about it? Or will he just produce sound bites and call the job done the way he usually does?

Intelligent is when you use what’s in your head to do the right thing.

Crafty is when you use what’s in your head to do the wrong thing.

Obama is intentionally creating a confrontation between his supporters and the rest of America.

His supporters are primed and ready to go on command and when they do receive that command cities will burn.

A lot of people wont simply sit back and watch everything they own be destroyed or their families lives put in danger, they will fight back.

Governors will be forced into using the National Guard.

Along with the rioting there will be terrorist attacks.

That’s when the fed govt takes control of the National Guard.
