‘They’re just like our kids': Obama tries to put human face on refugee crisis
PBS ^ | November 21, 2015 | Josh Lederman, The Associated Press

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.”

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....

Again, Mr President, leadership would mean comforting people, allaying their fears. Explaining that the refugees currently being processed applied years ago and have been living in refugee camps in neighboring countries to Syria would be a fantastic first step.

But no; the same **** move as normal. Effectively saying ‘how could you be so heartless as to deny this young woman entry into the United States?’

Can we please have a real leader? I’m sick to death of this stupid social justice (ha!) warrior.

Absolutely..replace the electorate with government dependent people who will not believe in freedom, who will believe in raping and stoning women who are raped, people who murder gays, people who will grow up to hate jews

This is Obama’s future for America

Where has he been for the last several months! He is just now starting to care about kids being murdered in Syria? How about the murdered kids in Chicago?! Not enough political mileage out of them?

And if Obama had a son he would look like Trayyvon, ie. a POS criminal drug addict murderer. Don’t believe this lying scumbag.

That is the future of Europe’s armies. The US wants them as soldiers, too when it comes time to evict Assad and Russia (WWIII).

No Barack, they are NOT like our kids. Our kids are NOT taught that it is okay to stone someone you don’t like. You are the worst leader I have ever known or read about. You top them all.

If MSM is as Ignorant (aka Charlie Rose) or as Completely Blind (aka Mr Tingle) or just completely ALL IN with the destruction of the USA (aka a long list going back to Cronkite) why or how do they stay in business?

I think the next big wave of high $ Specialists is going to be the Forensic Accountant ... in 14 months there will be new leadership and if things work out the way we need them to to survive, we will have an AG, a Vice President, a Congress (I hold little hope out for our POS Senate), many Governors that may want to re-visit what has happened in the last 7 years.
The inexplicable National Actions, Laws, Regulations etc not to mention everything that the Clintons have amassed and what I can imagine FUBO is squirreling away somewhere...

In the past the easiest Trail has been to “Follow the Money” and it still may be, the Clintons used to be all about power then went $ so they are now traceable.

Just my opinion, but a bunch of Talented “Fearless” Forensic Investigators is the next BIG thing that really needs someone like Steve Jobs to make it cookie cutter simple and take out the UNIPARTY, one POS at a time.

When that list of POS going down for the count, perp walked and doing time the MSM will run out of $ and Journalism will become a profession again and not just the “Steno Pool” for the Democrat National Committee.

The “refugees” start training their “terrorist” children by the age of two .. TRAIN them to shoot a gun - behead people - strangle people - burn people in cages.

DOES ANYBODY IN THIS GOVT HAVE ANY CLUE AT ALL .. OR IS THIS GOVT PLAYING A HORRIBLE JOKE ON AMERICA ..??????

OR ARE THEY JUST SMOKING SOMETHING ..??????????????
