Obama Says “Mexicans” Were Here Long Before the United States Was an Idea (Video)

Gateway Pundit ^ | SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 | Ken Pittman

[Hojczyk]

Barack Obama told the Hispanic Caucus in his speech that “Mexicans” were here in America long before the United States was an idea.

[dirtboy]

Too funny, given that Mexico came into being after the United States.

Imagine if Bush or Palin had made such a major historical gaffe.

[I cannot think of a name]

OK, so he didn’t take high school history. And those “year” things just confuse him.

[comebacknewt]

I see the Idiot in Chief is at it again.

I'll tune into the nightly news shows to see them skewer him on this one (/sarc).

[Genoa]

Heck, even Mexico wasn’t an idea.

[RC2]

Look out Arizona. He’s going to give you to Mexico. Along with Texas, California, New Mexico, etc, etc.

[ilovesarah2012]

I thought muslims were here first.

[RexBeach]

Leif Erickson was here first, too.

Mr. Obama is a tool. A real tool.

[facedodge]

Is is what he was taught. Everything America has, it stole.

[mo]

I suspect, that to many Rinocrats of the Ruling class, Mexicans..loads of ‘em..swarming polling stations across the country ..drowning Tea Partiers..seems like a real good idea.

[BipolarBob]

The American Indians may dispute his claim.

[cripplecreek]

La Raza talking points are one thing, actual history is something else.

[Steely Tom]

And Africans were flying around the pyramids on wings attached to their arms.

[gundog]

How ‘bout this Barry: You pull back to the borders of the 13 original colonies, and we’ll govern ourselves out west. Cripes...if the French came hat in hand saying they wanted the Louisiana Purchase back, I think he’d give it to ‘em.

[WAW]

YEP.

[MrB]

Also, you see the inherent assumption that every other country, nation, culture and people

are more valuable and “better” than America and Americans.

[savedbygrace]

The Commando in Chief has been caught without his clothes again . . . or any actual facts.

[Unam Sanctam]

Maybe New Spaniards, but not Mexicans. I believe Mexico would have been called New Spain before 1776.

[Faith]

Honest to Pete, I just can’t stand it. Obama, thy name is Panderer.

[dead]

He’s going to head over to Mexico to see where our astronauts planted our flag.

[Dem Guard]

Obama, go home!

[brownsfan]

I say we divide the world up on the basis of who was where, first.

Now all we have to do is decide who was where, and what to do with those who have mixed bloodlines.

Should be simple.

[freespirited]

Barack Obama told the Hispanic Caucus in his speech that “Mexicans” were here in America long before the United States was an idea.

Not only that, they invented calculus, penicillin, and the microwave oven.

;-)

[crosshairs]

They teach American History in Kenya and Indonesia?

[pgkdan]

Not only is this jackass not fit to be President he isn’t fit to be a citizen. He’s a disgusting sack of sh*t!

[RckyRaCoCo]

When did Kenyans get here?

[Le Chien Rouge]

Christians were dominant in the Middle East before Islam was even an idea.

But I don’t suppose Obama would mention THIS little historical fact.

[dead]

There’s a village in Kenya missing its Mexican.

[indianrightwinger]

Let me close by saying this. Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British and French, the Dutch and Spanish, to Mexicans, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land.

And, what is the point of it? That we should make all illegals legal?

[dforest]

Obama does not know history or anything else too well.

Guy is a made up person.

[beebuster2000]

he was referring to mexican restaurants, which were here long before Taco Bell.

[Patriot777]

Can anyone say BOGUS! Obama doesn’t know anything about American history, he was schooled in Indonesia...or was it Hawaii? Or....well, never mind-—he doesn’t know crap.

[Deagle]

Great! History rewritten by our newest 1 Term President - the ONE...

[MrB]

That’s one thing you should always pin a liberal/leftist down on -

what’s your point?

or

what EXACTLY do you mean by that?

Usually, they are just spouting some feelgoodisms that make them feel superior, but if you pin them down, they get really embarrassed either because they CAN’T explain what they mean, or the logical conclusion of what they’re saying exposes the absurdity of their position.

[BigEdLB]

In ancient times, people lived in the area where Mexico is now, but it wasn't called Mexico, and the people did not speak Spanish.

[Sherman Logan]

To be perfectly fair to Mr. Obama, not something I'm all that anxious to be, there existed "Mexicans" before Mexico was an independent country, just as there were "Americans" long before the US gained its freedom.

Heck, one of the words the "Aztecs" used to refer to themselves was "Mexica." Since, as everyone knows, the Aztec came from what is now the SW USA (and thus have an eternal right of return to and political control of their ancestral homeland), the president was quite correct historically.

[mojitojoe]

[MortMan]

If Obama was a real tool, he’d at least be useful.

Obama is a surreal tool.

[Responsibility2nd]

How can that be?

Isn’t Mexico one of our 57 states?

[Gator113]

I am so sick of this jerk disrespecting my country.

[atc23]

Didn't this jag off, Zero also say that . .

"Chief Financial Officers are the bedrock of our country"

I think miss Soetoro's 2012 campaign slogan oughta be . . . Obama- He just can't help himself!"

What a diptard! LOL

[trisham]

He’s right! I’m pretty sure they were living in what is now our 57th state.

[Gator113]

LMAO... One of the best!

[BuckeyeTexan]

He’d have made this statement to them except that there aren’t enough of them left for the Democrats to exploit.

[Paine in the Neck]

And Africans were flying around the pyramids on wings attached to their arms.



Barry goes Calypso.

[BuckeyeTexan]

He’d have made this statement to them except that there aren’t enough of them left for the Democrats to exploit.

[Jacquerie]

Mexicans” were here in America long before the United States was an idea.

This enemy, Hussein, must go.

[Hattie]

Just let Obama and the Congress, Judges and Supreme Court have Washington DC. The rest of us will form our own new country based on the real history of our forefathers. And they get none of our money. They can work their own history out.

[Cheetahcat]

So he is an Idiot but we all knew that.

[BuffaloJack]

How could he have been taught American history? He was going to muslim school in Indonesia.
