Reuters ^ | 18 Nov 2015 | Larry Downing

Obama administration officials held a conference call on Tuesday with 34 U.S. governors to discuss the country's refugee program, the White House said, after more than a dozen governors said they would refuse to accept Syrian refugees.

The administration officials assured the governors that the refugees would undergo the most rigorous screening and security vetting of any category of traveler to the United States, the White House said in a statement.

Some of the governors encouraged further communication by the White House to ensure that they are able to better respond to questions from the public about the refugee screening and resettlement process, the White House said.

Obama is frantic to destroy the U.S.A. and likely assisted by Soros. Admitting these invaders, who obviously pose an extreme danger to us, should convince those who still are on the fence that Obama means us harm.

Ah...

How Muslim is 0bama? Let me count the ways....

The shoutout to Indians/Palestinians when the Benghazi 4 died.
The ‘world shall not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam’
The HOLY Qur’an but not the Holy Bible
The covering of the cross at Georgetown
The Crusades recent experience in war
The 45 Muslim resumes
The Muslim prayer on the steps of the Capitol with other Muslims
The Iranian who wants the US to be Muslim as his closest advisor
We...at minute 40+ at the G20 speech
Saying the shahada to Kristol
The hidden speech about Rashid Khalidi
Messages on Christian holidays without mentioning God Almighty
The words of Jeremiah Wright that say 0bama did not have to give up Islam
The removal of the jewelry during Ramadan
The Eid feasts
The messages to Iranians in Farsi
The support of the.......Arab non-Spring
The support Iranian clampdown on freedom and abandonment of the Iranian uprising
The 10-18 sorties per day against ISIS buildings
The use of ISIL, which necessarily excludes Isreal ‘ s existence
1967 borders
Workplace violence
The letter to the mosque ON THE DAY the lady was killed in OK
The refusal to recognize the killing of the military men in Chattanooga
The non-recognition of Jesus as the Son of God but as a teacher
My Muslim faith
And now, the wholesale importation of ‘Syrian’ refugees.

I am a Muslim. After I deal with certain things, like healthcare, I will show you how to deal with the Israelis.

This phucking bastard has almost single-handedly destroyed America! The secret service should abandon him the moment he leaves office and let the American people express their profound displeasure personally as a warning to all future politicians who think they can ruin America the way he has.............

“The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim,” said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV. That could explain why Obama has instructed that the term “Islamic extremism” no longer be used in official government documents and statements. - See more at: http://pamelageller.com/2010/06/obama-tells-egyptian-foreign-minister-i-am-a-muslim-stealth-coup-on-the-white-house.html/#sthash.2mONW1AW.dpuf

I’d forgotten that. Islamic extremism is no longer in US Intel or military documents, nor is it taught to the military/LEO/FBI....

But the shahada is....in American public schools

I don’t think that he really believes in anything in a religious sense - except for himself, and his leftist ideology.

Obama is insisting that the Federal Government has jurisdiction over the State Government when it comes to these refugees. Constitutionally, that is probably true, but “we the people” supersede all. Keep these Syrian refugees out of your state.
To Obama, state Governors are mid-level managers who report to him. That they should dare to go against his wishes or express plans contrary to his own is anathema. The conference probably went along this line: "This is what is going to be done..."

I read that there were only 12 governors on that conference call. Most of these governors have signed executive orders. They are not going to just say well OK now we give up.

he has threatened the states by withholding federal highway funds if they don’t take the refugees.

this is what i believe the states should do:

1. Decree all citizens to send their federal taxes to their normal address... care-of the governors office.
2. all taxes would be certified w/ return receipt
3. the governors office would then submit the tax holdings on behalf of the state, as per the Constitution (A1S2)

this would give the power back to the states.

if 0bama withholds federal funds... the states will withhold federal tax payments

as a bonus, the governors could demand that no tax monies would be sent from the states without an approved federal budget in place... as per the Constitution

Those would be very good points for Trump and Cruz to make. Loudly. The rest too, except that they probably do not care to.

Agree. The states must confront this president (who is a hidden Muslim), and the Federal government which is now infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood.

And they must do it now!

News Flash: Obama is a hidden Muslim. The evidence is overwhelming.

Watch for this:

1. Some governors call out the National Guard to send these guys back.

2. Invoking images of Little Rock, Obama nationalizes the Guard.

3. Some soldiers unswilling to participate in further harm to the country, resign.

4. Zero gets total control over a subservient military to use on Americans.

Put them all in Washington D.C. along with every former refugee that is on welfare and every illegal alien who gets out of prison and isn’t deported. They all stay in DC permanently along with the crooks and creeps and most of our money.

We could build a nice wall around Washington pretty quickly. I can get Trump to pay for it.

Zero should not be allowed back into the country until he is fully vetted.

Trump or Bust
