Obama's chiming in. I agree w him factually but staying quiet for only 10 days is not good. *

The ban on everyone is more like punishing the son for the sins of the father.....so to speak. It is like what we did to Japanese-Americans after Pearl Harbor, which was later deemed wrong.

The Obama administration identified the seven worst state sponsors of terrorism in the world. Trump placed a 90 day ban until we can better determine our vetting practices and policies, so that American lives are not placed in any greater danger. This is what I call extreme overreaction. And Obama is a citizen and can talk as much as he wants, but he should stop lying.

I hate to say it, but Trump is right in that tweet. The section of the country that put Trump into office was half ignored and half looked down on for years and were ripe for the picking for someone like Trump.

If the people doing all the protesting cared half as much about people in Michigan and Ohio and PA as they do about Syrian refugees then the alienation of the people in the Rust Belt never would have gotten as high as it did and Trump would never have been elected.

We are talking about the here and now and the actions of this particular ban. It is not a Muslim ban. Obama lied. Even the very liberal Washington Post and a very liberal politifact concluded that it was not a Muslim ban.
Who lies more, you or Trump?

That's easy, Obama.
I haven't even seen BO's comments but I don't have to, he's right and so is any clear thinking person. Trump's little group that drafted it up made sure that legally it can't be called a ban on Muslims but it's designed to keep Muslims from those 7 countries out of the U.S. for a while so call it what you want, its intent is obvious. Embrace it.

I am not sure how one person could be so wrong so often but man you do it somehow. Again even two very liberal sites claimed it was not a Muslim ban. It was a ban from the seven countries that Obama named as sponsors of terrorism. If it were a Muslim ban it would include the other 41 predominantly Muslim countries around the world.

They've banned Muslims from 7 countries, it's not complicated. Neither you nor the admin are cute or clever.

Once again you are absolutely wrong. They have banned everyone from those seven countries for 90 days. EVERYONE, regardless of faith. What about the other 41 predominantly Muslim countries that are not impacted whatsoever.

I'm being honest, you cannot be this lacking in intelligence. Are you even aware that 10% of Syrians are Christian?

And he lied by claiming that it was a Muslim ban. Even the Washington post fact checker and politifact, both confirmed that this is not a Muslim ban.
So what is new (or news) about his chiming in and lying at the same time? Same old;same old.
