Obama Not a Fan of Newt's Muslim Screening Suggestion

“We come here with heavier hearts than normal,” President Obama said at the White House Friday afternoon. The attack in Nice, France on Thursday was a “tragic and appalling attack on the freedom and peace that we cherish.”

“Our hearts are with the people of France and innocent men women and children who were killed in this sickening attack,” he said.

In particular, Obama noted the two Americans who were killed, a father and son from Texas who were on vacation.

“They’re grieving, they need all the love and support of our American family as they grapple with unimaginable loss,” he urged.

Obama said he spoke to French President Francois Hollande and reminded him that France is America’s oldest ally and we “owe our freedom to each other.”

“We will stand united now in our grief,” he said. We pledge to stand with our French friends as we stand against this scourge of terrorism and violence. This is a threat to all of us.”

Obama did inject a bit of politics into his remarks, referencing, without name-calling, Newt Gingrich’s call to screen Muslims in the U.S. and deport them if they follow Sharia law, because it is anathema to American values.

That suggestion, the president said, is “against every thing we stand for as Americans.”

“We cannot let ourselves be divided by religion,” because that’s exactly what they want, Obama argued. “We should never do their work for them.”

“The divide that exists is not between religion or race, he said. “It is between people that recognize common humanity, and those who do not.”

As for how he thinks terrorism should be addressed, the president said we should be focusing on diplomacy and messaging.

We’re going to win this fight, he said, "by building," "by never giving up on diplomacy," "by offering a better vision so young people are less susceptible to extremism and violence," and "by promoting democracy so citizens have a say."

He also, however, said the global coalition against ISIL will work to keep taking out terror leaders. We will “destroy this vile terrorist organization.”

Are we supposed to care about what Obama is not a fan of???

Why would any real American care what that usurping Kenyan sack o' fecal matter thinks or says?

The little halfrican just might live forever because if there is a God, he AIN'T goin' to Heaven, and even Hell has standards so far as dumping toxic waste.

Interferes with CAIR’s plan for Sharia.

[faithhopecharity]

Dear O, when you speak.... do not use “WE believe” or “OUR values are...”

you lie.

speak for yourself, your own IslamoNazi “values” .. but do NOT involve us in them!!!!!!!!!

you are not us. we are not IslamoNazis and we will not be ruled anymore by IslamoNazis. This is America. Go home!

[sheana]

I think Obama, Kerry, and all the heads of agencies should meet with ISIS for diplomacy. They can talk about Health and Human Services, Environmental Protection, etc. hehe

[polymuser]

Hasn’t Hussein arbitrarily altered our Oath of Citizenship, for muzzies?

How did we end up allowing such a blatant internal enemy to be, and still remain, POTUS? WTH???

“Mr. President, so you see no problem with Sharia courts in our country? Is there one, just one reporter with the guts to ask this guy the question?”

As always, Obama is disingenuous, but so is Courtney O’Brien, the author of the article:

“The divide that exists is not between religion or race, he said. “It is between people that recognize common humanity, and those who do not.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What Obama actually said:

“In the wake of last night’s attacks we’ve heard more suggestions that all Muslims in America be targeted-—tested for their beliefs, some deported or jailed, and the very suggestion is repugnant and an affront to everything we stand for as Americans.

“We cannot give in to fear or turn on each other or sacrifice our way of life. We cannot let ourselves be divided by religion because that’s exactly what the terrorists want. We should never do their work for them.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sharia law is is an Islamic legal system anathema to our Constitution, our rule of law, and our cultural norms. Newt is exactly correct.

Obama refuses to address the question of sharia law [Wasn’t “sharia” just named as a forbidden word?]. instead, Obama chooses to rebut words he put into Newt’s mouth.

There’s a term of logic (or illogic) for what Obama just slithered by the public.

Is sharia law an American value?

Thanks, thouworm.

Interesting. Your thoughts?

0bama is evil. That’s a fact.

[avenir]

Sorry, I meant that as “what are YOUR thoughts” on the issue?

[Old Yeller]

If that screening had been in place before 2008, Iman Hussein O’Beelzebub wouldn’t be occupying the White Mosque.

[combat_boots]

Oh! Mine.

My SIL told me she thinks W is the anti-Christ. She’s a Moonbat.

I think 0bama is an anti-Christ. He lies and deceives. About so much. And...he is muslim. He loves his drone porn.

I have come to think that Stanley Dunham was his babysitter, too. Not his mother.

In his 1st year, an SS agent went to him personally and told him he needed to transfer, as he could not take a bullet for him or for ANYONE ELSE IN 0BAMA’S RACIST FAMILY. Just vile, 0bama is. MO may even be worse.

He has been given so much and lives like a satrap. He grifts. At our expense. The greediest welfare queen in the world.

[TexasRepublic]

It sounds to me like Obama has a dog in that fight. Hmmm....maybe he’s a muslim?

[Kaslin]

Maybe? Ha ha that is funny. Why do you think he defends them all the time?

[avenir]

Thank you. Interesting theory about Stanley. Who knows? Maybe the Lord will expose it all and we WILL know.

Bless you!

[YogicCowboy]

I wonder if scopolamine would work on this drug-crazed reefer reject.

It would be salutary and entertaining to hear the truth come out of his gaping maw just once.

[Kaslin]

Correct, plus if the Media had done their job and vetted him he wouldn’t either, but they weren’t interested

[YogicCowboy]

Supposedly the CIA determined via DNA about 2008 that Stanley was not his biological mother.

The problem with that of course is the CIA’s sterling reputation for honsty.

The one sure thing about Barry Soetoro is that his life story is a drug-crazed fairy tale.

[Lion Den Dan]

If such Muslim screening were implemented, Obama would be removed.

cardinal4 is not a fan of the marxist, homosexual muslim Kenyan, so we are even..
