Later, in the Philippines, he revised and extended those remarks. Here’s a sample:
Speaking to reporters Wednesday morning in the Philippines, Obama scoffed at attempts to block refugees following the Paris terror attacks as “political posturing” that “needs to stop.” “Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America,” Obama said of Republicans. “At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of three year old orphans. That doesn’t seem so tough to me.”
Whenever he talked about Paris — an attack, which investigators suspect, saw some terrorists exploit refugee systems in Europe — Obama seemed more passionate about making fun of Republicans who worried about terrorists exploiting refugee systems. He kept making the point that women and children are nothing to fear. It’s of course true that most Islamist terrorists are male. But women can also commit acts of terrorism, as was the case in San Bernardino when Malik and her husband killed and injured so many innocent Americans. Obama quickly dropped the taunts about fearing women, but no media called him on it.
We Vet Immigrants Well
Another claim made repeatedly by the Obama administration was that people were stupid idiots to be worried about terrorists exploiting entry pathways to the country on account of how good our vetting is. When the Republicans in Congress worked on a bill to improve the process of vetting refugees from Syria, the White House issued yet another — yet another! — veto threat. The statement began:
The Administration’s highest priority is to ensure the safety and security of the American people. That is why refugees of all nationalities, including Syrians and Iraqis, considered for admission to the United States undergo the most rigorous and thorough security screening of anyone admitted into the United States…. The current screening process involves multiple Federal intelligence, security, and law enforcement agencies, including the National Counterterrorism Center, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS), State, and Defense, all aimed at ensuring that those admitted do not pose a threat to our country.
And so on and so forth. Media coverage — which included numerous stories trying to guilt critics by making Biblically questionable comparisons with the Holy Family — strongly suggested that skeptics were evil. Either way, if poor, vulnerable refugees are vetted this much, surely we must be vetting regular immigrants even more, right? Bad news.
One of the San Bernardino murderers came into the country on a fiancé visa. Her tough application included questions such as, and I’m not joking:
“Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization?”
“Have you ever ordered, incited, committed, assisted or otherwise participated in genocide?”
“Have you ever committed, ordered, incited, assisted or otherwise participated in torture?”
I mean, what answers do they think they’re going to get? The New York Times further reports that the murderer was openly calling for violence against the U.S., but we totally missed it because of how bad our vetting is:
WASHINGTON — Tashfeen Malik, who with her husband carried out the massacre in San Bernardino, Calif., passed three background checks by American immigration officials as she moved to the United States from Pakistan. None uncovered what Ms. Malik had made little effort to hide — that she talked openly on social media about her views on violent jihad. She said she supported it. And she said she wanted to be a part of it… Had the authorities found the posts years ago, they might have kept her out of the country. But immigration officials do not routinely review social media as part of their background checks, and there is a debate inside the Department of Homeland Security over whether it is even appropriate to do so.
ABC News also reported that a “Secret US Policy Blocks Agents From Looking at Social Media of Visa Applicants, Former Official Says.” Remember how much crap we gave President Bush for his “heckuva job, Brownie” comments in the aftermath of Katrina? Well, heckuva job everyone responsible for vetting new Americans. You couldn’t be doing better. A++ work.
But back to Obama. He issued a veto threat after claiming we couldn’t do any better at screening people. Turns out we’re asking them to volunteer information about how bad they are and respecting the “privacy” of their public comments calling for violent jihad. And yet, the media undoubtedly spent 200 times more time talking about whatever a certain floppy-haired presidential candidate muttered than this. Seriously, we saw the media make fun of Trump’s claim that he’d screen Muslim visitors by simply asking them whether they were Muslim. And rightly so, because that’s a plan that makes no sense. It’s also exactly what we were doing to screen out threats — asking people to tell us whether they were one — but the breathless and concerned coverage about the policies of an actual administration currently in power seems notably lacking.

In our politically corrected information stream we no longer live in the real world. I read the koran about 1968. This is the rules for the Muslim faith. The politically correct point to the many apparent conflicts saying that muslims can choose to be peaceful. Actually what it says is that where their are conflicts, followers need to follow the more radical points.
It does guaranty salvation if you die spreading the faith by the sword. We can't comprehend why a woman would strap a bomb to herself and blow herself up in a crowded market. YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE ENEMY. If, that woman has committed a religious crime, not obeying the koran, cheating on her husband etc etc etc-SHE IS DAMNED. Yet, while she will be shunned, if she starps a bomb to herself and blows herself up she is suddenly a hero. All sins are forgiven. She gets salvation. She is suddenly a hero AND HER FAMILY GETS A CHECK FROM THE STATE.
Obama claims to be christian. IS HE? It is clear that he has a warm spot in his heart toward muslims. If, you READ, you will discover that he attended muslim schools and spent most of his young life with a muslim family. IF, he is christian you have to wonder, you need to realize that they spent a great effort trying to convert him to Mohammadism.
INSANITY-Obama and his twin HILLARY think we should allow more SYRIANS into the country. This is like fighting cancer by injecting more cancer cells. IT IS SIMPLY INSANITY.
