But my working assumption is still that Obama will get his way, regardless of public opposition.

Shades of Neville Chamberlain's Phony War here:
Meanwhile:
Russia has destroyed 500 ISIS fuel trucks over the past few days.
Presumably, no warnings were issued beforehand…
Don't blame him for the crimes of his evil twin.

POSTSCRIPT: I know nothing about the provenance of these photos, and some skepticism is in order. But even assuming the worst (ie: that they're faked or exaggerated), the larger point that terrorists wish to gain entry into America still nonetheless holds true.
Jewish schoolteacher stabbed in Marseilles by 3 Islamofascists wearing ISIS t-shirts
At this stage, I'm not sure why any Jew would wish to remain in France, or in Europe in general. The writing's on the wall, for all to see.
"As President Obama assured you, there's no need to be afraid. I'm just a cute little orphan. How much trouble could I be?"

Won't somebody PLEASE think of the widows and orphans!
"Apparently [Republicans] are scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America. At first, they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they are scared of 3-year-old orphans. That doesn't seem so tough to me." [Emphasis added]
Said the big, tough guy who imprisons makers of crappy YouTube videos.†
But Barack Obama did say something I found myself agreeing with:
"We are not well served when, in response to a terrorist attack, we descend into fear and panic," Obama said. "We don't make good decisions if it's based on hysteria or an exaggeration of risks."
There, you're absolutely right. No reasonable person could disagree with tha— OH FUCK!!!!! DID THAT NICE YOUNG TSARNAEV REFUGEE-BOY JUST BLOW THAT MAN'S FUCKING LEG OFF?!?
Why, yes. Yes, he did.
Your transparent guilt-trip only works when people stop caring about their loved ones, Barry.
Let me know when that happens.
† And who's protected by a large Secret Service detail. And who pisses his pants when answering questions from Fox News…
UPDATE (November 22, 2015): Legally, the Tsarnaev family were permitted to remain in the U.S. not because they were refugees but because they claimed political asylum.
The ultimate point still holds: They were granted residency for humanitarian reasons, and repaid America's kindness by butchering Americans.

1) The date the attacks were conducted was religiously significant:
The Paris attacks came on the first day of the Muslim lunar month of Safar, which coincides with the anniversary of the Prophet Mohammed’s first successful “ghazva” (raid) against the “infidel” at Safwan in 623 AD.
2) The killers may have been hopped up on a type of amphetamine popular in the Middle East. That's speculation rather than fact at this point — we'll have to hear what the French drug lab says.
At a soccer game again. This time in Turkey. (Praising Allah for the Muslim death squads, and booing for the victims.)
You know, they sound like really good neighbors. Let's let 'em immigrate and give 'em citizenship!
Remember: If you see something, don't say anything.

Boris doesn't give one hour warnings.
UPDATE (November 27, 2015): The Daily Mail claims this fighter was affiliated with al-Qaeda, and was hit by an artillery shell from Assad forces.
So President Finger-Up-His-Ass is now giving gentlemen's courtesy calls to Islamofascists. In a time of war.
How very sporting of you, old man!
In Abu Kamal, U.S. planes dropped leaflets before the attack [on 300 fuel trucks], warning people [combatants and non-combatants alike]…to leave before the assault began. After waiting for an hour, the U.S. planes struck.
As a result of Obama's traitorous heads up, ISIS saved 184 of 300 fuel trucks that were lined up in rows. That's 184 trucks that can continue to ship oil and generate income for the most virulently evil organization of our time…
No wonder ISIS sends Muslim death squads to attack the West: They think they can attack with impunity because we're being led by a GODDAMN-FUCKING-PUSSY.
And, given the inept prosecution of the war by this cretinous incompetent, one cannot say they're mistaken.
The man's unfit for office.
The tell-all memoirs of this president's subordinates are going to be brutal.
UPDATE (November 17, 2015): A few more observations about Obama's farcical prosecution of the war against ISIS:
I keep saying this, but after they destroyed Palmyra, I watched them on TV parade up and down the desert trail in their black-flag jeeps

1. Why was this column of enemy jeeps not destroyed? 2. Why did they have NO FEAR AT ALL they would be destroyed?

Do you ever hear "Today's strike killed dozens of ISIS soldiers and their trucks?" No, you don't. Because jihadi soldiers are just #Misled
— TheModernMan (@AceofSpadesHQ) November 17, 2015
Think about it: When you hear of a drone strike, you hear that a specific leader like Jihadi Johnny was hit.

btw, the little French air force is more than doubling (14-20) the number of airstrikes per day the US has launched (7-8)

Raqqa sure has a lot of key targets for the French to bomb, targets which are strangely intact after a year of Obama's "degrading" war

obama's not just averse to collateral damage, he's averse to damaging the actual enemies. @DrewMTips @seanmdav
