Is this just merely the whimpering end of a weak pandering political move before elections, or unvarnished payback for the elections after the fact???
Yes.
It's the most petulant form of payback, just like the new and unbearably offensive TSA groping regime.
The Kenyan Clown and his circus are laughing it up at the consternation of normal Americans and in leaving our southern borders undefended from the depredations of a dissolving Mexico.
Humiliating the peons of these United States is part and parcel of electing a "Barack Hussein Obama". I hope that no one will ever be so foolish as to do so again.
