The perpetrators of the Paris attacks were not “masterminds” he said, but rather “a bunch of killers with good social media”.

ISIL’s still not the varsity group, President Barack Obama said on Sunday, however in the event that Republicans running for president and in Congress keep on playing so as to react to assaults off reasons for alarm, they’re doing the terrorists’ work for them.

“When we talk about American leadership, American leadership is us caring about people who have been forgotten or who have been discriminated against or who’ve been tortured or who’ve been subject to unspeakable violence or who’ve been separated from families at very young ages”, he said Saturday.
“We vanquished them”, he said.

President Obama warned Americans not to overreact to terrorism.
Obama spoke after visiting a group of refugees at the Dignity for Children Foundation in Malaysia who were on their way to settle in the United States. White House aides said the United Nations had documented more than 153,000 refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia, but they said the images of Mr. Obama in the center were created to emphasize the predicament of refugees across the world.
Amid wall-to-wall and sometimes breathless television coverage of terror threats, Obama urged journalists to “maintain perspective”.
Obama added that it’s vital for Americans to continue their way of life and not succumb to fear in the aftermath of the Paris attacks.
Obama, the son of a migrant mother and migrant father, voiced his personal determination to face down anti-refugee measures that he has already threatened to veto. The notion that a place can’t be found for them in the United States is “contrary to our values”, he said.
