Obama lays blame on America for Mexico’s Drug Violence
The Daily Change ^ | 04202009 | TDC

Posted on 04/20/2009 10:48:09 AM PDT by TheDailyChange

Obama recently stated during a trip to Mexico that “More than 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico comes from the United States, many from gun shops that line our shared border.”

What REALLY line our shared borders are drug cartels, rapists, kidnappers, murderers, and unspeakable acts of violence such as beheadings. Why is the Mexican government unable, despite the abundant natural resources available to their country, to establish a pro business economic environment wherein the people of Mexico would want to stay in their own country because they have ample opportunities to flourish there just as they have available to them in America?

Somehow, Mexico’s ills are America’s fault? Why is our president touring around the world and mis-assigning blame upon the shoulders of America and denigrating our country? It appears this kind of foreign policy is aimed at garnering international favor at the expense of jeopardizing America’s national security and economic strength.

This appeasing foreign policy begs the question: What really is the end game agenda and who all will be the beneficiaries?

I suppose America is to blame for the swarms of illegal aliens, too? Does Herr Hussein know that 90% of illegal aliens are smuggled in from Mexico?

Obama is appeasing every enemy we have, from leaders of rogue and corrupt nations, to criminals.

"Venezuela is a country whose defense budget is probably one six-hundredths of the United States'. They own Citgo. It's unlikely that as a consequence of me shaking hands or having a polite conversation with Mr. Chavez, we are endangering the strategic interest of the United States," Obama said

...yea, sure, Barry. No endangerment there at all.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

NOW WE KNOW WHAT A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER DOES

OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKET, AND ENERGY

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S UPBRINGING

IT'S TIME FOR A RETURN TO THE OLD SCHOOL

Obama is an embarrassing fool. And highly ill-advised. While he continues to pump out his anti-American hate in concert with his “setting up” reasons to disarm law abiding American citizens and shut down legal firearms dealers and makers, he panders to his future voters. Yes, the illegal ones.

The constant rhetoric and vitriol of the radical left “leaders” in America is all part of their twisted, hate-filled plan for the dismantling of America's success, strength and freedoms.

Is Canada wracked with poverty and massive violence?

Like guns not being guilty of crime, nations can't blame external forces for all their problems.

Mexico's problems begin and end...in Mexico.

Our only problem is to prevent them from involving us.

"Shut down the border Barry."

He should shut down his own pie hole first.

And the Taliban had an even smaller defense budget than Venezuela’s, yet they managed to host al-qaeda for years. So what’s your point, Barry???

He’s partially right, but not about guns. The war on drugs is rife with unintended consequences. Just like prohabition, it creates criminal black market enterprises that are so lucritive that the cartels eventually out gun law enforcement that they don’t already own.

BO has no clue regarding cause and effct on almost any subject he touches.

And in the few cases he does know, he lies about the answer, pretending “government control” is the solution.

His objective IS control, NOT to solve any of the problems under discussion.

Fine. Then close the border.

BOTH WAYS.

We’ve had some real losers for presidents, like Carter and Clinton, but 0 is the first US president who is anti American. He hates America, Americans and everything America stands for, has stood for. In 0’s brainwashed, warped mind America is the root of all evil in the world. This is going to be a real thrill of a ride.

If he shuts down the war on drugs does his cocaine get cheaper or more expensive? Maybe if he quit using, the demand for drugs in the US would decline.

Perhaps.

In all sober assumption, whether he wants to use legally isn’t really the question. It’s more like the Federal Government is the answer to what the founders perceived as weaknesses in a confederation of soveriegns, and was never intended to be the answer to every other problem under the sun.

“The desire is there to do something about difficult problems, but because it is difficult to do something which would help solve them, people do something else instead.” — Dr. Madsen Pirie, Adam Smith Institutue

I think 0bama knows exactly what he is doing by stabbing Americans in the back and making nice with all the other political asshats in the world. He is setting himself up to be in charge of the NWO. Why stop with a country (that you dont care about and arent a citizen of) when you can have the world?

He’s dancing because he knows the truth is that he is a brother in ideology and arms to the likes of Hugo Chavez...and he can’t come out and say anything like that.
