Obama: Clueless in DC

America's current president amazes me sometimes. Even with him potentially being replaced by Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, I still find myself looking forward to the replacement president, even if it ends up turning our country into a fascist or socialist nightmare, because at least the replacements can't be any more dumb than our current White House occupant.

Case in point, from the Washington Examiner:

In a brief Easter weekend radio address, President Obama vowed to decimate the self-proclaimed Islamic State, but he said the United States will do so by offering an example of freedom, tolerance and open society. 

"Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence; our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda — a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause," are paramount in the fight, Obama told Americans during his weekly radio address. 

Admitting entry to Syrian and Iraqi refugees has become a divisive issue in the U.S. as well as Europe, but Obama made clear he has no plan to back off his promise to admit 100,000 to the U.S. this year.

"We have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, our counterterrorism work, and our diplomacy," Obama said. "And that's the power of our example. Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL's violence. Our determination to win the battle against ISIL's hateful and violent propaganda – a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause." 

So when one of these radicalized Muslims sees the U.S. offer to let them immigrate here, he will instantly forget his desire to work with the radicals, and forget any intention of killing Americans or Westerners, and just be so appreciative that he will love America and move here?

Ask the people in Brussels how well that worked for them...

If Obama or anyone in Washington had a brain, they would see the correlation between U.S. military activity in the Middle Eastern and Asian Islamic nations, and the birth and growth of such radicalized Islamic groups like Al Qaeda and ISIL/ISIS.
