KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Brushing off refugee worries at home, President Barack Obama crouched alongside migrant children on Saturday and declared they are the opposite of terrorists wreaking havoc from Paris to Mali. Working to put a human face on the refugee crisis, he said, “They’re just like our kids.â€
The refugees Obama encountered at a school for poor children in Malaysia were not from Syria, and unlike the flood of Syrians meeting steep resistance in the U.S., these migrants had already been cleared to resettle in America. Still, Obama said their faces could have been those of kids from Syria, Iraq and other war-torn regions whose pursuit of a life free from violence led them far from their native homes....

What about the Christian kids being gunned down, beheaded, drowned? Aren’t they like our kids?

The kids do not come alone. Plus, ISIS recruits kids, which puts them in a “not just like us” category.
Obama cares nothing for the truth or for listening to anyone else. He is an evil loving, lie loving creep.

Of course the kids are like kids everywhere until they are indoctrinated in evil. The refugees that worry everyone are the military age males who make up 72% of the European flow. Now cut the BS and do the right thing for a change.

Obama loves his future young martyrs

Guess I’ve been lucky so far. My kids haven’t blown up any buses or buildings or beheaded anyone. Nor have they infiltrated, invaded, subverted or taken over any Judeo-Christian nations.
Obama’s kids? I don’t know.

Obama wants these refugees for one very important reason, he sees them as future Democrat voters, every single one of them. Give them welfare, food stamps, health care, and all the Dems ask in return is for their vote

The Black Lives Kids? I can believe that!
As for our 25-35 year old kids, they’re not like them at all.
