“The world is currently focused on the humanitarian tragedy in Syria, where years of civil war have forced millions to flee to other countries to escape the bloodshed. The world must not forget about some 60 million people who have been displaced around the globe,” said Obama during a visit to a Malaysian learning center that serves Muslim refugee children, a few days ago.
“Anybody who had a chance to see those kids, hopefully you understood the degree to which they’re just like our kids. They deserve love and stability and protection.“
President Barack Obama vowed Saturday that his country will be a welcoming place for millions fleeing violence around the world ;”as long as I’m president we are going to keep stepping up.”
I couldn’t agree more with what he has said here, it is wrong on every level to conflate every Muslim with terrorism; I just wish his actions reflected this, and it wasn’t all political rhetoric. You see, Obama talks a great game about accepting refugees, but it is his drone program that has caused many to flee to begin with; it is his drone program which kills 9 in 10 innocents, flagrantly disregarding the humanity that he claims to protect; it is also his drone program and his actions in destabilizing Libya which has caused the rise of ISIS.
With that in mind, cue the photo op as he “interviews” kids between the ages of seven and nine as he tours the Dignity for Children Foundation.
At the same time, while all this is just propaganda, one wonders if a President who is at least willing to pretend to be humane would not be a better than the alternative: one who uses his image as a heinous human being as a campaign tool.
On the one hand, Americans view the actions of their government as being falsely generous. On the other, Americans view the world in an “us VS them” prism which might lead to worse human rights violations, but at least know that their actions are honestly heinous.
