Well said. The thing is though is that Obama has led by example with his recent aggressive and taunting comments regarding republicans who disagree with his approach, and his supporters are following suit. They think this is how they gain the advantage in this particular "debate" but I think all they are really doing is creating more animosity.
I think Obama has held up remarkably well and contained his emotions after seven years of:
"You lie!"
"The only goal of congress is to remove Obama from office."
and a myriad of various other attacks upon him and his family.
Republicans have caused the animosity, right from the start.
You geniuses need to decide whether the President Obama of your lurid and insane fantasies is a Muslim fifth-columnist, or someone who cares not one iota about the poor Muslims children.
By the way, who is trying to accommodate the refugees, including children, who are desperate to flee Syria (hint: Obama!) and who is calling those refugees future-if-not-present terrorists? (Republicans!)
Oh, and as for the children of Syria - they've been suffering under Assad rule for the last 45 years, and you never gave a rat's rump about their fate until you decided that they might be a useful way to bash Obama.
If you think American boots need to be on the ground to protect Syrians (Hello? Bueller? What's the purpose of the American military?) then you're probably one of the geniuses who thought invading Iraq was a great idea (because you believed that there really were 'vast stockpiles of WMD', that Saddam Hussein was involved in the 9/11 attacks, and that they would 'greet us as liberators', and that regime change would lead to a flowering of Middle Eastern democracy, right?).
Tell you what, start by calling your Congressman and Senators and demanding that they vote to accept refugees, including these children (unless your representatives are one of those Democrats - not Republicans - who actually supports taking in these refugee children, because they don't need to be urged to do the right thing). Then there will at least be a reason to start taking you seriously.
Can we ask why are you and President Obama caring now for these mostly young men trying to get here? Hope you are ready for tax hikes to support more Democrat voters into our system.
Amazing how the left can show a dying puppy or a homeless child and you voters think with your heart, before asking why is this going on.

It would have been better if the "you lie" comment was wrong.
But it wasn't.He has lied. He has mocked the Republicans. He crammed through Obamacare. When Eric Cantor questioned the provisions of stimulus spending, he sat Eric down and reminded him, "Eric, I won." He invited Paul Ryan to sit in the front row during an address and then insulted Ryan in public. He mocks Republicans and refers to them as an "enemy" to this very day. Unable to work with congress, has has worked around them - an act that results in temporary legislation, which will easily be undone by a future president.
If Obama is miserable, it is a misery he has invited into his life.
ISIS are the kings of staging videos to create terror. Yes, they do terrorize in reality but they make videos for the sole purpose of making it seem as bad and horrific as possible. Remember the video of the people marching on the beach where they were all like 10' tall or taller?

Oh, really? What was that particular 'lie' which prompted that outburst?
Yes, lately he has expressed his dissatisfaction with republicans, after seven years of BS.
As for stimulus spending, well, the country is doing a hell of a lot better now than it was seven years ago. Do you have a problem with the DOW being as high as it is today?
Paul Ryan deserved to be insulted. Isn't he the one who filibustered with The Cat in the Hat and succeeded in shutting down the government? For what purpose? For his ego.
He is not unable to work with congress; congress is unable to work with him. After all, it is/was their main goal to make Obama a 'failed' president.
Obama did not refer to republicans as the enemy throughout his terms in office, especially during his first term, when he actually kept a few of the republican members of the Cabinet; offering an olive branch, as it were, to conservatives.
Republicans response to said olive branch? "Our goal is to make Obama a one-term president."

Obama is a small man with a big job. Arguably the biggest job in the world, despite all he's done to diminish it.
I don't know if we will ever get the balls to get over there and put a stop to all of this, but I feel that if I can keep these stories in the spotlight, hopefully we can finally do something about these Jihadists.
This crime took place in 2014, but the video seems to have surfaced this month:
THIS VIDEO LINK SHOWS 200 CHILDREN AND YOUNG MEN BOUND, ON THEIR KNEES AND BEING SHOT REPEATEDLY BY AN ARMY OF ISIS FIGHTERS, please do not click on the link if you have a weak stomach.
If anyone has Obama's email address, could you make sure he gets a copy of this? Not that he'd likely care.
The United States is kept too sanitized as to what's going on in the rest of the world.
When's the last time you, as an American, heard anything about what's happening in Liberia right now? My guess it's never, or not in a very long time.
If America really paid attention to the horrors happening elsewhere in the world, we would be forced to act to help these folks.
We can't be police to the rest of the world. What we're witnessing is how the world works hundreds of years ago. The best thing to do is let nature run it's course and contain the spread of these backward societies. I would close off all borders and not take any refugees. This is their war and they need to fight it themselves. We are not wasting the blood of our people for other conflicts that we have no business with.
Oh, really? What was that particular 'lie' which prompted that outburst?....
When Obama claimed that his ACA would not be used to cover illegal immigrants, Joe Wilson (still in Office) said, "You Lie".
In 2014 Sylvia Burwell called for extending Obamacare benefits to cover all DREAM illegal immigrants. So it turns out that Representative Wilson was very prescient in his accusation. He knew than - and we all know now - that the ACA would indeed be used to cover illegals.
Quote:
“DREAMers are not able to be covered in the marketplace. And this is an issue that I think is more than a health care issue — it is an immigration issue,” Burwell said in response to a question about whether families with mixed immigration statuses can get coverage. “And I think everyone probably knows that this administration feels incredibly strongly about the fact that we need to fix that. We need to reform the system and make the changes that we need that will lead to benefits in everything from health care to economics to so many things — a very important step that we need to take as a nation.”
But surely, you are not going to ask us to expose every single lie and obfuscation and disingenuous uttering from Obama. Because if you do, it is going to be a long day.

Because Barack Obama is the first president in U.S. history to ever have an opposition party, or have people make mean comments about his family!
