This is simply another voice calling out the total and complete hypocrisy of our President in this matter.
He turned his back on them in EVERY WAY except his speeches years ago, and now he is lecturing Republicans on how to be compassionate...
"One wonders when Obama began caring so much about Syrians. If you put those 10,000 Syrian refugees back in their native country and let them get gassed, barrel-bombed, shelled or shot, would he bat an eye, or would they just be part of the ever-growing casualty count?
The Syrian refugees are most useful to the president as a symbol of his alleged cosmopolitanism and of the supposed backwardness of his opposition.
The fact is that, since our resources aren’t limitless, we are constantly slamming the door in the faces of refugees, as the president puts it. According to the World Bank, there were 2.5 million Afghan refugees in 2014; according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement, in fiscal year 2014 we took 758 of them. There were 616,000 from South Sudan; we took 52 of them. There were 410,000 from the Central African Republic; we took 25 of them."
And this opinion piece ends...
"Of course, that we are discussing a Syrian refugee crisis at all is another symptom of the president’s abject failure in the Middle East. So, please, Mr. President, spare us your sanctimony and condescension."
Spare us the sudden sanctimony on Syrian refugees, Mr. President | New York Post
How dare this President forget how he turned his back on these people ?
It is difficult for me to even concentrate on how I feel about the issue after this President made a fool of himself in Turkey with his comments and his attitude.
Now, the left is bringing out George W Bush as a shining light to be used trying to use him to show how responsible people should handle this situation.
