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

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.

Probably Obama. We have to guess since many FReepers prefer pronouns in lieu of someone’s name.

“With all due respect to him, ...”

Really wish he’d cut this crap.

So a suicide bomber blows himself to bits and leaves a widow and children behind. Are these the ones who Obama is referring to when he wonders if ‘they are afraid of widows and orphans’? After all, there are some of these woman in the death cult who are also intent on blowing themselves up and joining their husbands before he gets his 72 virgin reward.

I’m wondering why NOW hasn’t taken Obama to task for his comments. What? Are you saying that there is a job that a man can do and a woman can’t?

I sometimes think he’s idiotic too. Then I remember during his first campaign he told us that American was the greatest country in the world and he would change it. Change it, he has. He’s continued the process the Clintons began in the 1990s. So far he seems to be quite successful,

Fruitcake doesn’t need supporters at this point in his illegal administration.

Be careful. That was actually Mark Stein’s line. It’s like “I can see Russia from my house”.

Whenever Obama speaks, something is subtracted from the sum total of human knowledge.

Obviously neither. Simply trying to clarify your ambiguity.
