To those who feel the need to protect President Obama, so be it..this is not meant to criticize anyone, but he IS the President.
To those who feel this is not the real world and that only they are aware of what the real world is....sorry.
BUT...in reading this evening, I found it conflicting in reading news reports.
I offer a little snippet, and a link and hope that if anyone wants to know what is going on in the world beyond our borders here in The Villages or your favorite tv show...
This first article addresses tonights debate and how it may influence it...
"The debate’s sponsors have already informed the campaigns they will have to address the attacks at the start, and all three candidates expect a greater emphasis on foreign policy questions throughout. These are not easy subjects for Democrats, in part because they force the field –- especially Clinton -- to address some of President Obama’s most glaring shortcomings: Democrats have downplayed an issue that has bedeviled their president who only hours before the killings claimed ISIL had been geographically “contained.”
When French President Francois Hollande – a socialist whose campaign strategy was inspired by Obama’s 2008 efforts – declared he would wage “pitiless” war against ISIL he posed an implicit challenge not just to his own people -- but to liberals in this country who have rejected the idea of waging a “War on Terror” for a decade.
“[W]e can't just wash our hands of the Middle East, as some would like us to, ... not all of the region's problems stay in the region: ISIS, for example, has ambitions beyond their self-declared caliphate, and they increasingly have the capability to kill innocent civilians abroad,” a senior Obama defense official said, reflecting Obama’s incremental move toward a more interventionist stance in the region.

This article addressed the administrations plans to increase and speed up our acceptance of refugees....
"The Obama administration is moving to increase and accelerate the number of Syrian refugees who might be admitted into the United States by opening new screening outposts in Iraq and Lebanon, administration officials told Reuters on Friday.
The move comes after President Barack Obama pledged in September to admit an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees in 2016, torn by four years of civil war and disorder."

This is from a New Orleans site which tells us they are already feeling the influx of immigrants...Syrians.
"The flood of refugees migrating from the terror in Syria and Afghanistan has begun to have a trickle effect in the New Orleans area.
"We had served two families, we're expecting one more soon, and we do not know how many more, but we expect more," said Martin Gutierrez of Catholic Charities, which is part of the Archidiocese of New Orleans."

This article is about the Central American refugees that are beginning to ramp up once again....if you recall this was a problem last year...
"The number of families illegally crossing the southern U.S. border has more than doubled over the same period last fall, prompting concern about a new surge of migrants from Central America.
Many more unaccompanied children are also crossing, with 4,476 apprehended in September — an 85% increase over that month in 2014, according to new Border Patrol data.
"If that trend even continues a little bit, if things start to go up in February as they usually do, we could be looking at things getting really high, and by spring, you're seeing an emergency," said Adam Isacson, a senior associate at the Washington Office on Latin America, a human rights advocacy group."

And from USA Today....an article showing the fears of our professionals after the French attack...
"The attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people Friday night suggest the Islamic State has broadened its reach beyond the Middle East and is capable of executing devastating attacks in the West.
“It suggests a major shift in the organization’s global strategy,” said William McCants, an analyst at Brookings Institution and author of The ISIS Apocalypse."

I apologize to those of you who have delivered the smart aleck remarks about my talking about current events. I apologize to those who feel that under President Obama things should be perfect and never a critical word. I apologize to those who insist it is all a Republican conspiracy. I apologize to those who feel I am not aware of the real world.
These are all articles from either today or the last 72 hours or so. IT Is not historical and it is not intended to criticize anyone. If you feel that the ISIS threat is a non thing, then move on and ignore. i prefer to try to stay up to date on current events.
