Do you suppose Obama is starting to regret his insults and lies about the people who disagree with him (that's most of the American people)?

Gowdy: Obama foreign policy 'creates more widows and orphans'
Gowdy: Obama foreign policy 'creates more widows and orphans'
By Harper Neidig - 11/19/15 10:38 AM EST
Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy (S.C.) is hitting back at President Obama, blaming his foreign policy for creating the Syrian refugee crisis.
"The president says we're scared of widows and orphans. With all due respect to him, what I'm afraid of is a foreign policy that creates more widows and orphans," Gowdy said while chairing a hearing Thursday on Obama's refugee program held by his House Judiciary subpanel on immigration.
"So maybe he ought to start is a foreign policy in the Middle East including Syria, where people can go back to their homelands, which is their preference."
"Maybe he ought to defeat that JV team that he thought he had contained," he added, a reference to Obama's earlier statements downplaying the threat from ISIS.
House Republicans are expected to vote on a bill later Thursday that would halt that program until the administration can provide assurances that none of the refugees admitted pose a security risk to the U.S.
The debate has intensified following last week's Paris terror attacks after reports that one of the attackers may have entered the country by posing as a refugee.
But Obama has blasted Republicans for seeking to halt the program, accusing them of being afraid of "orphans" and suggesting that only allowing Christian refugees would be "shameful." The president has also vowed to veto the GOP bill.
