Obama Declares Victory On Refugee Fight: ‘We’ll Be Able To Proceed’
Breitbart ^ | Novemmber 19, 2015 | by Charlie Spiering

Posted on 11/19/2015 11:58:32 AM PST by COUNTrecount

After two days of condemning Republicans, President Obama is declaring victory now that it’s clear that Congressional Republicans won’t successfully block thousands of refugees from Syria resettling into the United States.

“My expectation is, after the initial spasm of rhetoric, that people will settle down, take a look at the facts, and we’ll be able to proceed,” Obama said during a press conference with Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Still busy with international travel, Obama spent time in two different press conferences overseas trashing Republicans for being “un-American” for wanting to block additional Syrian refugees into the country.

Yesterday, Obama issued a veto threat of the proposed House “American SAFE Act of 2015” which would codify additional layers of security to the refugee program to ensure that the Syrians entering the country were not a threat to national security.

It is unlikely that a veto-override vote in the House could succeed, and Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has indicated that he will not attempt to defund the program in a larger government funding bill.

Our own President is a clear and present danger to the United States.

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

Sound familiar? And that is on the civilian side of the definition.

At least 32 states have denied consent to settle Syrian immigrants.

And Obama thinks he can proceed? He has no idea what is about to happen.Or alternatively he wants civil strife and domestic instability.

Justin Trudeau is just as vacant as any bleeding heart liberal can be.Ignorant poofter.

For sure. But the greatest danger is/are the voters that elected him and the lesser evils that cave to him.

But they WON so they got what the really wanted to begin with. Liberal government. It is afterall, the result of their choices. We have no one to oppose Obama.

No matter what.

Pay attention to just HOW MUCH the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY HATES CHRISTIANS !

This stinking piece of crap that's defiling our Oval Office is importing the Radical Islamists that will kill us.
When will congress get the guts to IMPEACH, CONVICT and EXECUTE that ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF ? Read this article that exposes FACTS about Obama at Occidental College in 1981:
Also, don't forget this: I'll bet the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY are intending on EVERY ONE OF THEM to be used for importing a RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST !

UNHCR data confirms it: 75% of the so-called refugees arriving in Europe are MEN.

Did he say this before or after the House passed a bill restricting Syrian immigrants this afternoon?

Yes that’s true. But practically speaking the states administer all aspects of the program and are the feds going to build their own national administrative structure and pay for the social assistance/medical/education needed by most of them?

Not a chance.

Everything he says is so infuriating I can no longer talk peaceable with any Democrats. Maybe my parents but I don’t like doing it.

"It’s a federal program, he doesn’t need the states to consent"

He does if congress passes a law saying he does. And the House passed a bill pretty close to that this afternoon.

Justin Trudeau - Is he the same Trudeau whose mother left her husband and ran off with one of the Rolling Stones? Is Mick Jagger his father?

Any Governor worth his/her salt will immediately put these people on a bus with a one-way ticket to Washington DC and make sure that everyone knows it.
