WASHINGTON – Confronting a security threat on America's doorstep, President Barack Obama is venturing into the heart of Mexico. His swift diplomatic mission is meant to show solidarity with a neighbor — and to prove that the U.S. is serious about halting the deadly flow of drugs and weapons.

Of course, Obama's going to say that it is our fault for Mexico's problems.

And then they'll be using the weapons issue as an excuse for more gun control in our country (even though the drug lords aren't even getting weapons from us!!!!).

The border needs to be secured and sealed NOW, but that won't happen as long as we have open-border, amnesty-loving Napolitano as SOHS and Obama as TOTUS.....

With Obozo, one has to ask solidarity with which side?

Let's talk about the problems at the border, but let's not do anything about the problems at the border.
Above all: let's not even THINK about building the wall. We've got other "shovel ready" tasks which are far more important.

Plus, he will print money or raise taxes to give Mexico billions of dollars.

Obama is either a child or a total pussy.

Oh, God, we’ve stepped over the threshold here.

I lived in Europe for almost four years, and the one word you’d hear above ALL others in political matters was that infernal one: “solidarity”.

I came to HATE that word, because it exemplified everything that was wrong with European politics. Something would happen (e.g., terrorist attack, cop shooting, riots, etc.) and politicians would trot out to “express solidarity” with something or other. People would lap up that cr*p like it was fine wine, and go back to life under their miserable, sclerotic political leadership.

Solidarity was the keyword for politicians and voters in denial of the real problems facing their countries.

Gah! Now it’s here!!!!!

Obama is intending to “seize the assets” of the drug Cartels.
I'm unclear if he is going after their money or looking to score a little coke.

Yes Yes, did 0 bow yet, kiss Calder's feet, then back up to him before leaving??

Notice how 0 jets off when things get controversial on US soil? I dare not say 0's home soil.

Obama just declined El Salvador's request to continue a joint venture that has worked well, fighting drug cartels in that country.

This is ALL show.

Obama wants to look like he is helping Mexico, since Mexico is in the news.

On the bigger issue, however, Obama’s true feelings are clear.

The only “problem” Hussein sees is the inability of illegals to legally vote for him. That is the “problem” he wishes to correct, by teaming with sell-outs like McCain to create amnesty for the 20, 30, 40, 50 million Mexicans currently residing in the United States.

Did anyone else notice the hypocrisy of the the translator?

Here is the guy who told Americans that we should be embarrassed because we only speak English and need to teach our children Spanish... and he needs a translator!

Shame on him.
