This is why Obama left Iraq with no residual forces......this is why he doesn't care if bringing in Syrian refugees brings terrorists into this country.
He really doesn't like anyone.
He really doesn't like anyone.

Obama Really Doesn't Like People
By Ed Lasky
A comment made by one of President Obamaâs closest aides explains his blasĂ© attitude toward the lives of Americans. In late 2012, Neera Tanden, who had been one of President Obamaâs closest aides, observed:
Barack Obama had been warned that leaving Iraq without a residual American force could lead to genocide. When questioned about this risk, he complacently answered that preventing genocide was not a good enough reason to have troops in Iraq .
Barack Obamaâs coldness towards Americans -- and others, for that matter -- was obvious before 2012.
Barack Obama has long had an Empathy Deficit, as I wrote in 2010. He easily and coldly boasted he would destroy the coal industry and kill thousands of jobs with the aplomb of Chairman Mao and Josef Stalin reengineering their societies. The jobs that were promised after passage of the trillion-dollar stimulus plan never materialized because as Barack Obama jocularly put it two years later âshovel-ready was not as shovel ready as we expected.â When Texas was hit with devastating forest fires, Obama was cracking jokes at a California fundraiser, âYouâve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change.â He has articulated his contempt for so called everyday Americans many times (see my 2012 column, What Obama Thinks of Americans and my 2014 column, Obama Thinks You Are Stupid, Thatâs Why)
Barack Obama seems particularly complacent when it comes to Americans endangered and murdered by Islamic extremists.
Here are some examples (with more undoubtedly to come as President Obama oversees a massive influx of Muslims into America, hence fulfilling his promise to âfundamentally transform Americaâ). Obamaâs Syrian asylum policy continues apace, despite the role of at least one Syrian ârefugeeâ in the massacres in Paris. Obama wants to welcome at least 10,000 more Syrians into America (Hillary wants 65,000). What could go wrong? Ben Rhodes, Obamaâs chief liar now that Susan Rice has outlived her usefulness in that role, appeared on numerous broadcasts to assure us these âasylum seekersâ will be thoroughly vetted to eliminate security risks -- contradicting the widely respected FBI chief, James Comey, who testified before Congress that vetting Syrian ârefugeesâ will be challenging. Canât we trust the competency of an administration who can handle the IRS, the VA, the stimulus program, green energy projects, and security of government employee records so well?
When Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl was murdered by Islamic terrorists the best that Barack Obama could offer was that his âlossâ had âcaptured the imagination of the world.â Captured the imagination? Mark Steyn had some choice words for Obamaâs lazy tribute to Daniel Pearl. There was no indignation or rage.
First of all, note the passivity: "The loss of Daniel Pearl." He wasn't "lost." He was kidnapped and beheaded. He was murdered on a snuff video. He was specifically targeted, seized as a trophy, a high-value scalp. And the circumstances of his "loss" merit some vigor in the prose. Yet Obama can muster none. (snip)
President Obama has an agenda that is becoming increasingly visible. Marc Thiessen recently wrote in the Washington Post of âObamaâs stubborn, willful complacency on terrorâ:
Well, chronologically, for at least one more year. Barack Obama is not interested in pursuing a war against radical Islam -- he doesnât think there is or should be a âwar on terrorâ (another banished phrase) and seems more intent on burnishing Islam, even if it is at our expense and at the cost of our lives. Neera Tanden was right; he doesnât like people and couldnât care less what happens to (most) of us: our lives donât matter.

Clinton, being Clinton, had plenty of advice in mind and was desperate to impart it. But for the first two years of Obamaâs term, the phone calls Clinton kept expecting rarely came. âPeople say the reason Obama wouldnât call Clinton is because he doesnât like him,â observes Tanden. âThe truth is, Obama doesnât call anyone, and heâs not close to almost anyone. Itâs stunning that heâs in politics, because he really doesnât like people.

Well, says the president, it was "one of those moments that captured the world's imagination." Really? Evidently it never captured Obama's imagination because, if it had, he could never have uttered anything so fatuous. He seems literally unable to imagine Pearl's fate, and so, cruising on autopilot, he reaches for the all-purpose bromides of therapeutic sedation: "one of those moments" â you know, like Princess Di's wedding, Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, whatever â "that captured the world's imagination."
..............................President Obama has an agenda that is becoming increasingly visible. Marc Thiessen recently wrote in the Washington Post of âObamaâs stubborn, willful complacency on terrorâ:
Somehow, to paraphrase President Obama, it has become routine â the president dismisses the terrorist threat, only to see terrorists carry out horrific attacks that give lie to his complacency.
On Sept. 6, 2012, Obama boasted at the Democratic National Convention that âal-Qaeda is on the path to defeat.â Five days later, al-Qaeda-linked terrorists attacked two U.S. diplomatic compounds in Benghazi, Libya, killing the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
On Jan. 7, 2014, Obama dismissed the Islamic State as the âJVâ team in an interview with the New Yorker, adding that the rise of the Islamic State was not âa direct threat to us or something that we have to wade into.â That same month, the Islamic State began its march on Iraq, declaring a caliphate, burning people alive in cages and beheading Americans.
Then on Thursday, Obama did it again, telling ABC News, âI donât think [the Islamic State is] gaining strengthâ and promising âwe have contained them.â The very next day, the Islamic State launched the worst attack on Paris since World War II, killing at least 132 people and wounding more than 350 others.
How many times is this sad spectacle going to repeat itself?
