Spare us the sudden sanctimony on Syrian refugees (president sneers at citizenry)

Post-Paris Obama remarked that the murderous terrorist assault is a "setback;" but sneers that US sentiment against taking more Syrian refugees is an "atrocity."

Syrian refugees are most useful to Obama as a symbol of his alleged cosmopolitanism, and of the supposed backwardness of his opposition (we, the people).

Obama warned against that dark impulse inside of us, as if Americans are planning to draw and quarter Syrian refugees; he says slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values. Its remarkable this president is lecturing us on humanitarianism. When did Obama began caring about Syrians? What if those 10,000 Syrian refugees were sent back in their native country to be gassed, barrel-bombed, shelled or shot? Would Obama consider them just part of the ever-growing casualty count?

True, Europe faces a migrant crisis, so tell Germanys foolhardy chancellor to stop encouraging migrants to pour in; enforce national boundaries; refuse to accept anyone not processed properly. The US has a migrant overflow at the border, we need not be bidding for Syrian refugees.

That we are discussing a Syrian refugee crisis at all is another symptom of Obamas abject foreign policy failures. So, please, Mr. President, spare us your sanctimony and condescension.

Sometime after the 100th barrel bomb filled with chemical weapons rolled over the ‘red line’ and slaughtered Syrian widows and orphans.
