[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.
