President Bush...with all due respect, and thanking God that is has been you at the helm these last years instead of those you faced off against...I care about their plight too, and that is why we have reliious and other private charitable organizations to help them

It is not the job of our Federal Government to help those people...it is their job, assisted by charitable contributions from individual and private organizations...short of our absolute national interests being threatened or absolute right of passage and commerce being threatened militarily.

Out government's job is to protect and defend the people of this nation, its citizens within our borders...and to make sure those borders are secure from crimonal invaders of any type. Please be about that business.

What the president is saying, in Spanglish, is that our border has become the perimeter of the hemisphere. While he speaks, his trade representatives are renegotiating the border at the latest Doha trade talks. when he talks about the 'consent of the governed', he is lying.
