Gowdy’s blistering response to Obama’s ‘widows and orphans’ jab hits a nerve
Biz PAC Review ^ | 11/20/2015 | Nicole Haas

Congressman Trey Gowdy has had about all he can take of President Obama's divisive rhetoric, and he's not alone.

Gowdy, chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, is receiving a lot of praise for his opening statements during today's hearing meant to address the Syrian refugee crisis.

"The president says we are scared of widows and orphans," Gowdy said.

"With all due respect to him, what I'm really afraid of is a foreign policy that creates more widows and orphans."

At that point, Gowdy might as well of gotten up and walked out, but the class act congressman kept the pressure on. "So maybe where he ought to start is a foreign policy in the Middle East and Syria where people can go back to their homelands, which is their preference," Gowdy continued. Gowdy received mountains of accolades for representing the majority of concerned Americans.

This despotic narcissist grows more mentally unstable as each day passes. If America is to survive this midget must be removed and locked away in an asylum.

Looks like it’s gonna take a Honduran solution, as our representatives only represent themselves.

Are you referring to Congressman Gowdy or (P)resident Obama?

One of 0bama’s comments struck me as idiotic. He said to the effect that restricting Syrian immigration would hurt our national security.
How could limiting IS terrorists from coming here hurt?

National Security to Obama means democrat party superiority at the polling place on election day. Hence, more immigration of dependent poor people into the US

His thinking is that restricting Syrian immigrants will infuriate more Muslims, both here and abroad, who will now become active terrorists.

A. He is, in fact, idiotic.

B. The last time he told the truth was in October of 2008 when he said “We are five days away from transforming this country”.

Something is badly wrong.

I recall one of his news conferences (in which he did not tke any questions). One of his eyes was shut and the other was only partially open. There was not one question from the media on what the president's problem was.

The president is obviously delusional. He could be stark raving mad and no one in the media would question him, either from fear of loss of job, fear of blackmail, fear of Arkancide or whatever.

In this country you are free to come to your own conclusions and state your resulting opinions, but if you are in the media, you tow the party line. Why should we respect the despot enabling media?

During WW2, would we have accepted fleeing Nazi’s as refugees?

Not even a question.

Sanity prevailed then.

Man, that is really something, isn't it? I can hear them now: "Hey, Mohammad, join ISIS because the infidels won't let us in, so we should just go and blow them up."
