Barack Obama has been gallivanting around the world, apologizing for the horrible, horrible country that elected him. He has apologized to Europe, the ‘Muslim world,’ China and I think Swaziland is next week. Now foreign leaders feel emboldened. They know that they can come to the United States and criticize the country.
Mexican President Filipe Calderon and Chairman O held a joint press conference at the White House today. At the event, President Calderon said, “such laws as the Arizona law, which is forcing our people to face discrimination.” The President of a foreign nation felt comfortable trashing the United States in front of the President of the United States, at the White House. Not to worry, surely Obama stood up for his country, right? Wrong. Instead, O piled on, saying “We’re examining any implications especially for civil rights because in the United States of America, no law abiding person — be they an American citizen, illegal immigrant, or a visitor or tourist from Mexico — should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like.”
There are so many things wrong with what Obama said it is difficult to know where to start. First, Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America. It is unprecedented and unacceptable for a sitting President to join a foreign leader in trashing the United States. Second, based on Obama’s comments I’d ask if he has even bothered to read the Arizona law, but I know the answer to that question. For the 1000th time, the law forbids “suspicion simply because of what [someone] looks like.” Third, by definition no ILLEGAL immigrant can be a “law abiding person,” hence the prefix “illegal.” There can be no doubt – President Obama hates America. Can you imagine any other president criticizing the United States and American citizens like Obama does on a regular basis?
…….besides Jimmy Carter.
