Obama calls idea of screening Syrian refugees based on religion âshameful,â defends White House strategy

Obama also pointedly addressed the issue of whether the U.S. and other countries should continue to accept refugees, given the fact that one of the participants in the Paris plot may have come in with Syrian migrants. He said the U.S. would continue to accept more refugees from Syria and elsewhere, though "only after subjecting them to rigorous screening and security checks."
"Slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values," he said. "Our nations can welcome refugees who are desperately seeking safety and ensure our own security. We can and must do both."
Without directly naming GOP presidential candidates, the president blasted political leaders for suggesting the U.S. should only accept Christians fleeing Syria. He alluded to the fact that some of these same politicians--namely Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), whose father fled Cuba decades ago--had benefited from America's willingness to accept refugees.
"And when I hear folks say that, well, maybe we should just admit the Christians but not the Muslims, when I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which person who's fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted, when some of those folks themselves come from families who benefited from protection when they were fleeing political persecution, that's shameful," he said, his voice rising. "That's not American, thatâs not who we are. We donât have religious tests to our compassion."

$#&% president Obama.
Barak Obama, “ Muslim terrorists have as much right to
be here as #blacklivesmatter...”
What is shameful is his teen mother having sex with a married foreigner and then even finding another muzzie to marry.
Syrian Muslims - likely terrorists...
Iran and Russia are Syria’s ally. Why don’t the refugees go there?
Madness. Sheer madness.
We’ve got to remember that his very own baby daddy was a muzzie and even his step father was a muzzie. Yeah, he’s a muzzie sympathizer at the least.
The majority of refugees are Sunni Muslims. Russian and Iran are backing the Shia, Secular and Christian Syrian govt. forces.
And I find his existence on the planet, let alone occupancy of the WH, shameful. Preaching to the choir on this site. But, if there are any people left, that still straddle the fence on this clown, they need their heads examined.
Honestly I do not think that woman was his mother. The whole narrative about him is a lie.
Her parents were commies. They gave their daughter's womb up for the revolution.
The SOB was raised as a radical Muslim on the streets of Jakarta.
Try to imagine the utter alien nature of his upbringing compared to virtually any American Christian at the same time.
He’s not just a sympathizer. He’s one of them.
It’s not a religion, $h!tfacea$$whole! It’s a death cult, hell bent on destroying anything that is good in the world. None of them should be in this country, including you, chief imam of America.
Her parents were commies. They gave their daughter’s womb up for the revolution.

Agree. barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was her baby daddy. obama is spawn from an evil seed.
Even is grandparents were garbage.
What’s the surprise? Obama’s allegiance is to Islam. Every radical muzzie imported onto American soil is a victory to him.
Then send them south to Saudi Arabia.
We’ve got to stop calling it a religion and call it for what it really is—a political fascist objective for the whole world.
He already does screen them based on religion. Muslims are welcomed, Christians are denied entry.
