Obama’s Latest Threats Include A Veto That Places All Americans At Risk

The only power our current Commander-in-Chief seems to be able to employ is that little bit found in his tyrannical pen. Once again, he’s saying the American people and their wishes be damned, as the weak man tries to put on a tough facade with threats of veto. If his blatant disregard for We the People hasn’t pissed you off yet, it really should when you hear his latest attempt at intimidation that places us all at risk.

Barack Obama made a not so shocking statement yesterday, when he threatened to veto a Republican sponsored bill requiring a more in-depth vetting process for Syrian refugees seeking to enter the United States. Anyone with even a mild understanding of the political dynamic created by this limp-wristed president knows that he only does things like this for show and not because he thinks it’s best for the American public.

Obama’s White House spokespeople have said he will veto the bill because it is “untenable,” meaning Obama doesn’t believe that the United States can thoroughly vet all the refugees he wants to take into our nation within the scope of the new bill. That’s a little funny coming from a man who believes it’s possible to use an executive order to magically enforce universal background checks on all gun sales.

The legislation seeks to ensure the safety of the American public by forcing refugees to be screened under more scrutiny than they are now. That legislation includes FBI background checks and individual sign-offs by top federal officials.

The White House said that these measures “would provide no meaningful additional security for the American people, instead serving only to create significant delays and obstacles in the fulfillment of a vital program that satisfies both humanitarian and national security objectives.” This statement is most likely true, considering refugees seeking to do harm would simply lie, steal a passport, or have fake documents made, as we’ve seen following the attacks in Paris, France. However, what’s downright hypocritical is that while Obama wants less scrutiny for potential terrorists entering the United States, he wants more for law-abiding gun owners.

The agenda is showing, and these refugees will be here regardless of what the states want and what the American people want. It won’t soon matter, and sadly, American civilians may have to begin to defend themselves from those wishing to do harm.
