Obama and the Alligator

[Geee]

American Spectator:

Having hit his stride in the polls, Barack Obama seems to clutch the teleprompter less tightly these days. He looked relaxed as he addressed the subject of "immigration reform" on Tuesday and even attempted a semi-cavalier joke at the expense of those concerned about America's porous borders. "Maybe they'll need a moat," he said, dismissing their calls for more border security. "Maybe they want alligators in the moat."

George W. Bush had broached the idea of de facto amnesty shortly before 9/11, then the subject vanished. A joke about alligators in moats wouldn't have been welcome in the days after Osama bin Laden hit the country. But now that he is gone, Obama can make one and try his hand at the issue of illegal immigration.

In his speech in El Paso, he downplayed concerns about border insecurity while insisting that he has responded to them effectively: "the truth is the measures we've put in place are getting results. Over the past two and a half years, we've seized 31 percent more drugs, 75 percent more currency, 64 percent more weapons than ever before. And even as we have stepped up patrols, apprehensions along the border have been cut by nearly 40 percent from two years ago. That means far fewer people are attempting to cross the border illegally."

Would he have done any of this on his own without the political backlash to open borders? No, but he sounds at times as if he did. He followed, not led, on the issue, yet says those who saw a problem on the borders where he didn't are still crying wolf.

I have all the confidence in the world that Obambo will let his "Alligator" mouth take charge of his "Hummingbird" A$$ again.... as his confidence rises to the level of his arrogance.

 

Sounds like we're on the verge of another "Bitter Clinger" moment.

He can run his arrogant mouth all he wants, because all he's doing is providing fodder for GOP ads next year. He's not only tone-deaf, but not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

The Obama Re-Election Doctrine Axioms:

 

Lie cheat & steal.....and give to "my people!"

 

Punish states that didn't vote for me.

 

Use the office of the president to bring change, where none is needed & obfuscate against necessary change.

 

Bring Americans to their knees so that when they look up.....my face is framed by the heavens.

 

Create havoc & chaos at home & abroad, each and every day, in every conceivable way.

 

Lower the standard of living of all US citizens.....so they know their rightful place in the glorious United Nations of the World.

 

One World Order through destruction of America's wealth.

 

Always frame every debate in a way that I look better, even if I have to lie and use racism.

 

Me first. No really......I, me, my, mine!

 

Chicago politics, socialism, reparations, crony capitalism and partisanship.....forever.

Figures for the border are now influenced by liberal & Obama re-election policy, not by enforcement:

Border Patrol Agents Confirm Napolitano’s Order Not To Arrest Anymore Illegal Aliens So Lower Arrest Numbers Will Make Border Appear Secure

 

“Upper management has advised supervisors to have agents ‘turn back South’ (TBS) the illegal aliens (aka bodies) they detect attempting to unlawfully enter the country … at times you even hear supervisors order the agents over the radio to ‘TBS’ the aliens instead of catching them,” one San Diego border agent wrote in an email to Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever.

 

“This only causes more problems as the aliens, as you know, don’t just go back to Mexico and give up. They keep trying, sometimes without 10 minutes in-between attempts, to cross illegally,” continued the email, which was among a number of communications to Dever reviewed by FoxNews.com. “This makes the job for agents more dangerous. Not only are the aliens more defiant, they also begin to feel like they can get away with breaking our federal laws.”
