With the sizzle from his great kill of May 1 fading quicker than the value of the U.S. dollar, Barack Obama dug deep and deeper into his bag of tricks and chicanery in pursuit of a political ploy to salvage his failed presidency.
However, rather than offering new and creative distortions with which to dazzle the unwashed masses, the President has resorted to a rehashing of the same old foolishness about immigration reform, or as those who respect the proper use of the English language call it, “Unwarranted amnesty for invading criminals.”
As reported, in part, at the reference, Obama used some colorful, and odd, language in an attempt to ridicule those with the temerity to disagree with his views on the divisive issue:
“EL PASO, Texas – Delving into an explosive issue, President Barack Obama stood near the border with Mexico on Tuesday and declared it more secure than ever, trying to build pressure on Republicans to take on a comprehensive immigration overhaul — and eagerly working to show vital Hispanic voters that he is not the one standing in the way.Actually, Mr. President, Republicans and the majority of Americans are not the least bit interested in moats nor alligators.
Countering Republican calls to focus on border security before moving to a comprehensive overhaul, Obama said their demands have been more than met by his administration but "they'll never be satisfied."
"We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement," Obama said.
"But even though we've answered these concerns, I gotta say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time."
"Maybe they'll need a moat," he said mockingly to laughter from the crowd. "Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat."
However, we are passionate in demanding that you and your administration enforce immigration laws now on the books and take border security seriously.
That translates to abiding by the U.S. Constitution, which you swore to uphold on that dreadful January afternoon in 2009 when your current, and hopefully only, term started.
It means abandoning your deceitful and wicked plans to grow the Democrat Party on the backs of illegal aliens in defiance of American citizens.
It means respecting U.S. citizenship as the treasure that it is rather than as a trading chip for future votes.
It means respect for the language and culture of the millions of American citizens who founded this great Democracy.
It means respect for the 16 million or so Americans who are still unemployed, more than two years after your failed stimulus bill was enacted.
It means respect for the scores of millions of people around the world anxious to migrate to America who are told to “get in line and wait your turn.”
Above all else, it means respect for the rule of law and common decency.
Moats and alligators? Don’t need them, Mr. President!
Instead, Just give rule of law a chance!
