MANILA, Philippines — President Barack Obama lashed out Wednesday at Republicans who insist on barring Syrian refugees from entering the US, deeming their words offensive and insisting "it needs to stop."

"Apparently they're scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America," Obama said.

Mocking GOP leaders for thinking they're tough, Obama said overblown rhetoric from Republicans could be a potent recruitment tool for the Islamic State group.

He insisted that the US process for screening refugees for possible entry into the US was rigorous and said the US didn't make good decisions "based on hysteria" or exaggerated risk.

"We are not well served when in response to a terrorist attack we descend into fear and panic," the president said.

Obama's comments during a meeting with Filipino President Benigno Aquino marked his harshest condemnation yet of Republicans' response to the Paris attacks blamed on ISIS that killed 129 people last week.

I am sure he believes that the Islamic Terrorists will only target Republicans and Conservatives. Why would they hurt Liberal Democrats who essentially share their ideology....

FoxNews is interviewing Bush who is now talking tough against ISIS.

No mention of any change in him on border issues. But he would ‘lead’ to defeat ISIS, with a strategy created by the military.

One someone has to take the argument to the absurdity, it means they know they don’t have a reasonable or valid argument. So they have to exaggerate with ridiculous points. He does it all the time.

Yep. 0bama is a communist, a sodomite, and a mohammedan. Also a coward and a liar.

You mean the two brothers and a crock pot?


Please don’t disparage me. If the Tzarnayev brothers had placed me beside the finish line of the Boston Marathon, in 8 hours those victims would have had a slowly cooked beef stew, and they would have been able to eat it with their legs still attached. We don’t explode.

Sincerely,
A. Crock Pot

"I wouldn’t have a problem taking in the orphans - as long as they’re not 25 years old."

Maybe we should take in as many as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other rich Arab countries, eh?

That's where Obama ought to be aiming at, not Americans...who foot the bill for everything in the world already.

You mean pressure cookers, not crock pots. They're seriously different.

Apparently the arrogant and condescending Caliph Baraq Hussein 0bama is unaware that both women and children have comprised a high percentage of suicide bombers.

Two of the Parisian terrorists were women. They kill you just as dead as the males.

We are not afraid Mr. Buckwheat.
We are angry.
Berry berry angry.

And anyone who supports bringing those who hate us into our nation will have to bear the brunt of that anger.

Being a leftist/commie/socialist/mooslime; you should be most familiar with anger. You ferment it berry berry well.

That said Mr. Osama...beware the boomerang. You and your demonic allies may soon pay the price for your lack of vision. (Star Wars quotes rule)!

Now get back on the golf course before more people get hurt or dead.

Stoopid!

Just the humble rantings of a pissed off American under the freedom of the 1st amendment which you also wish to get rid of.

Oh no, we wouldn’t want to give ISIS an incentive for recruitment - they might become dangerous or something! At least a half-assed bombing campaign isn’t much of an incentive - maybe we should just forget the whole thing and leave ISIS alone, is that right Mr. President? ///S
