I read his newsletters in which he does little more than bash Republicans for everything. It makes me sick. He's supposed to be my representative too. He's a partisan who has no challenger in either party. The elite in El Paso are really proud of the “safest city” award. If stats were to prove the award is bogus, all the banners would have to come down. That, and Mariachi at the airport, are our biggest tourism assets. My ears perked up at Obama’s mention of the moat with alligators. I thought, wow! That may be a great idea for jobs.

Actually El Paso has a fountain downtown that used to have a live alligator in it. They are now commissioning a sculpture of the fountain complete with alligator.

Even that alligator/moat thing wasn’t original - he’s getting his speech ideas from cartoons. That was in a Maxine cartoon a couple or so years ago - something to do with the alligators in Florida, Katrina, and the border. I think she said dig a moat, use the dirt to augment the levees, and throw the alligators in the moat. Solve three problems at once.
