Can we congratulate Obama without insipid sniping?

Or at all? Is that good with the fact free media?

Recent experts sent by Obama find "far less refugees on the mountain than previously indicated".

Meaning the estimates supplied by the Kurds and by breathless American media were........wrong?

Gee, that hardly ever happens.
