Obama Discriminates Against Foreigners

Posted on | January 4, 2010 | 19 Comments

NTTAWWT:

Citizens of 14 nations, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria, who are flying to the United States will be subjected indefinitely to the intense screening at airports worldwide that was imposed after the Christmas Day bombing plot, Obama administration officials announced Sunday.

(Via Memeorandum.) Spencer Ackerman appears to be skeptical, which means this is probably a good idea. If the Bush administration had done this, Andrew Sullivan would be in an apoplectic frenzy. But I always knew there was something I liked about Obama. Not just his Marlboro Red habit.

He’s smart enough to know he’s the only president who could institute “profiling” without being denounced as a right-wing racist. Next: Obama issues proclamation honoring Robert E. Lee’s birthday. “Triangulation.”

More from Allahpundit at Hot Air, Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch and Dr. James Joyner at Outside the Beltway.

UPDATE: Flashback: “Who’s the Enemy: The Terrorists or Us?”

UPDATE II: Obama moving America to the right? (Hat-tip: Professor Glenn Reynolds.) Like I said, I knew there was something I liked about Obama . . .

    Man, I’m so glad that all the terrorists are so stupid that they’ll make sure to embark only on planes in those countries! Imagine how futile such a policy would be if terrorists actually could think!

    Them Jews aren’t going to let Obama talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years when he’s out of office. …They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is.

    Oh wait, Obama is not cracking down on the Jews? Just as I predicted. I never ever trusted them Jews Alexrod and Rahm.

    Some guy on Mark Steyn claimed he was at LaGuardia at the counter and a dark skinned man with no luggage purchased a one way ticket with cash. Got on the plane by him and his wife freaked out. Apparently he didn’t splode.

    Indentured Servant Girl,

    Don’t forget the Muslims born and raised and radicalized here in the US! Nidal Hasan was born in the same state as Robert E. Lee.

    Great. I’m finishing my 18 month assignment to Saudi Arabia and flying home to see my wife and kids in mid January. Perfect timing. Last time I departed from Riyadh airport, two thirds of the male population of Pakistan was milling around the check-in area. It was worse than a mob scene and it took forever to get through. I can only imagine what it’s going to be like now.
