Obama threatens to veto bill boosting refugee scrutiny

Help me work this out. We've reached the point where the public takes threats to national security more seriously than the president does. OK, he's a hard-core leftist and they're not, which is why they twice elected Republican Congresses in off-year elections to put a restraining order on his tendencies. I get that. But they also elected and re-elected him, knowing full well - at least the second time - what he was. Or did the media successfully distract them with "binders full of women" and Big Bird and all that nonsense to the point where they really didn't comprehend the decision they were making? OK, I'm starting to digress a little, but this is what it's come to: Both the public and the Congress are concerned about the prospect of terrorists slipping in among the thousands of refugees Obama wants to accept from Syria, and at the very least they want some stronger scrutiny of exactly who's being let in. But there's one person who absolutely refuses to do that under any circumstances and to any degree whatsoever, and that is the very guy they elected president twice. So even a very reasonable bill that would demand we actually know who we're letting in, and what these people's backgrounds are, gets the Obama veto threat.
