Remember years ago, in the wake of the shooting in Tucson, Arizona, when our fearless leader stood up and asked our nation to tone down the rhetoric in our country? Amidst the chaos of the Gabrielle Giffords shooting, it was said to be a teachable moment that had journalists gushing about how the President had delivered “calm amid the toxic rhetoric.”
That calm has since dissipated, and the President himself is now the toxic one.
During a speech last night, Obama accused Republicans seeking to stop the flow of Syrian refugees into the country of being a recruitment tool for ISIS terrorists. Let me repeat that – Republicans who want to avoid letting ISIS terrorists into the country … are a recruitment tool for ISIS terrorists.
“I cannot think of a more potent recruitment tool for ISIL than some of the rhetoric that’s coming out of here during the course of this debate,” Obama criticized.
He also said this:
We are not well served when, in response to a terrorist attack, we descend into fear and panic. We don’t make good decisions if its based on hysteria or an exaggeration of risks.”
Bear in mind, this is the same man who turns every shooting incident into ‘hysteria and an exaggeration of risks’ about the Second Amendment. The same man who turns every police shooting involving a black criminal into ‘fear and panic’ over law enforcement.
Obama wasn’t through however. He also mocked Republicans as being cowards.
“Apparently they are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America.”

Comment: Anybody who opposes letting Syrian refugees who can not be properly vetted to weed out ISIS terrorists is a coward in Obama’s eyes. Do you think you’re a coward? Let Obama know in the comments below.
