And so it begins. Trump's idiotic actions blamed on Obama.
No kidding! I'm remembering how outraged repubs were when poor Shrub had to carry the fallout from Libs. Now it's them doing it. Short memories abound.
The Obama administration's travel restriction provided extra scrutiny to people who traveled to these seven countries -- Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Syria, Somalia, Libya and Yemen -- because they are hotbeds for foreign fighters.
It did not specifically ban people from entering the US just because they were citizens from these seven countries. All were still eligible to apply and get interviewed, they just could not utilize the visa waiver program. It was not a complete ban.

This has got nothing to do with the policy under Obama to pay extra attention in vetting those traveling from or through certain countries.
Has nothing to do with our national security either. If it did, Bannon and Trump would have put a 90-120 hold on travel from countries that export terrorists such as Saudi Arabia and other hotbeds of terrorist activity such as Indonesia.
This is a shock event to divert minds away from the Russian business which was getting a bit too real what with the arrest of three Russian cybersecurity experts for being American spies. Then there was the Russian aide that was the most likely person to leak the blackmail dossier. He was found dead from a "heart attack" in the back of his car.
Nothing to see here, folks. All sorts of men crawl into the trunk of their cars to have heart attacks. Perfectly normal. Move along.
Handcuffed five year-olds and grandmas detained for hours on end sucks up a lot of attention.
If you think appointing Steve "Burn the Place Down" to a permanent slot on the National Security Council is just nuts, keep alert.
This Muslim travel ban is a distraction.The real event is ahead.

This travel ban is a distraction. The real event is coming. We will likely see it later this week.
Butbutbut, this is different! Obama is the messiah, the savior of the far left and the symbol of black American progress. He can do no wrong. To even point this out is wacist!!!! Whhaaaaaa. Where's my binkie.
I'l repeat what I said in another thread - when I get a new position at any company I always come in, look at processes/procedures, do an audit of the finances, files, etc., then I set my own agenda.
I don't trust the previous person who was in my position enough, even if they were a good leader, to just take what they were doing and keep doing it.
IMO this excuse about "Trump used Obama's list" shows that Trump lacks leadership skills as he did not create his own "list" and choose specific countries for restrictions based on his own investigations. He campaigned, in part on the inability of Obama to lead, yet chose to use a list created by Obama - who he has called a failed leader. I would never use information from a previous executive or manager if I took their place and felt they were a poor leader. I'd review everything they did and make my own conclusion.
You all believing that this is "hypocrisy" of the left should also acknowledge that your reasoning in this matter is flawed due to the above also the fact that Obama never issued the types of restrictions on these nations like Trump has. I would also like to know in what capacity was this list created. When was it created? Do other countries have these nations on a watch list or their nationals under additional scrutiny as well? These are all things that Trump, if he had good leadership and administration skills IMO should have asked and reviewed prior to issuing this order.
