President Obama says he's considering whether to deploy National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, after Texas Gov. Rick Perry made an urgent call fort 1,000 more "boots on the ground" to deal with the growing violence.
The president weighed the option during a meeting with regional reporters Wednesday afternoon.
"We're going to examine whether and if National Guard deployments would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense," Obama said, according to an account by McClatchy Newspapers. "I don't have a particular tipping point in mind. ... I think it's unacceptable if you've got drug gangs crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens."

Good, But its still a day late and a dollar short. Should have been done years ago!
Wouldn’t everyone be happier if the US just surrendered?
Yeah, but I bet he orders them to face North.

Hehe!
It’s the Bammy way.
Since when does the Texas Governor need permission from the Federal government to defend his state border from Mexico? Am I missing something here?
I ‘hope’ he makes the right decision for a ‘change’.
Will the Troops be armed with guns or will they be armed with spitballs?
Don’t be fooled. The only troops Obama would put on the border would be to keep us in as the Nation falls apart. Just like the Berlin Wall. The communists all claimed it was there to keep people out of the Marxist Utopia, but the guns were all pointed in.
Time to include border fence talk and signs at the tea parties.

As far as I know, he does. But from what someone mentioned on here last night....he’s a bit of a puss.
It’s easy for them. Truth doesn’t matter, and they have 51% of voters who are too lazy to think. Obama and the dems have plagiarized a fictional economic plan, and most of their followers believe it. This is beyond belief.
“The John Galt Plan,” Wesley Mouch was saying, “will reconcile all conflicts. It will protect the property of the rich and give a greater share to the poor. It will cut down the burden of your taxes and provide you with more government benefits. It will lower prices and raise wages. It will give more freedom to the individual and strengthen the bonds of collective obligations. It will combine the efficiency of free enterprise with the generosity of a planned economy.” Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged , p1124
It’s a Quagmire !! Re-Deploy !! Call Murtha !!
LOL....I was just going to ask which way he'd have them facing.
NO BLOOD FOR CORN MEAL!
Seriously, no blood for drugs...
Also, does the Posse Comitatus Act figure into this at all?
All jaw flapping
And it all ties neatly into Holders notion that we have to restrict firearms in the US to stop the flow to Mexico.
Great. restrict the second and place troops in our backyard.
Considering? He needs to become a leader of this nation if he wants any respect. Get off the couch and do something that Pelosi doesn’t tell him to do.
Oh wait.. everyone but you Mr. Prez.
