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....

Destroying ISIS and let these people go back to their homes is the best way

I may be wrong, but I’ve got this gut feeling that the halfrican is avoiding returning to the USA. Its mostly his demeanor and what he says.

Could it be that the General Staff has plans “for his safety” when he returns?

That may be why the majority of dems want them in. Not the top, they see it as a quiet invasion, we will let in with eyes diverted.

So were the Tsarnaev brothers, at least until they blew up their bomb at the Boston Marathon.

"They’re just like our kids": Obama

You lie! No they are not "like our kids" in any way, shape or form! American families don't dress our children up in little Isamic, Jihadi, ISIS, Alqueda costumes; complete with little suicide-bomb vests and real weapons! We don't teach our children to hate and kill Jews and "infidels" in the name of "allah". We don't follow Islam by mutilating our daughters private parts. We don't teach our sons and young men that it is a religious duty to gang-rape women on the street who are unaccompanied by a male member of their family or not wearing a veil. We don't intentionally cut our little sons heads in order to make them bleed in celebration of Islamic "holy days". We don't teach our children that is OK or a "religious duty" to subjugate others and sell them into slavery or to have and sell women as sex saves! We honor our wives and daughters; we do not teach our sons and daughters that women are property and chattel to be owned by men and disposed of on a whim, at any time by saying three times: "I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you!"

No; Mr. Obama, you lie (again); as Muslims, their children are NOT "Just like our kids." Our American kids are the polar opposite, the antithesis of nearly everything these "kids" have been taught, believe and how they think, live and conduct themselves in society at large.
