No, it's pure posturing. He knows he ain't gonna win - but feels he has to look good to the anti-death penalty crowd ...
Gov. Perry should attend the execution, then make a sober “Don’t Mess With Texas—Mr. Obama” speech, then announce his candidacy and hold a press conference in front of the Death House.
Real conservative politicians should get it through their heads that it pays to deliberately tweak and outrage the libs and the MSM rather than tiptoe, cringe and genuflect. Just look at the mileage The Donald got out of his straight (albeit economically illiterate) talk.
Excuse me, but just how are the police supposed to know he is an alien unless he says tells them?
For the purposes of this case, since he came here and acted as an American by concealing his illegal status, he should be treated as an American for the purposes of execution.
The idea that he can have it both ways - he’s an American when he wants to be and a Mexican national when he wants to be - isn’t going to wash.
Now is the perfect time for personal payback by the Supremes for the public insult and attempted intimidation the Zero visited on them during his State of the Union address.
GO SCOTUS! KNOCK THE USURPER DOWN!

Ride the lightning Humberto.
Thanks for explaining, knowing the constitution trumps treaties is one thing, knowing why is even better.
“Even assuming Texas had a duty to tell this scumbag he could contact the Mexican consulate, the present controversy is easily decided against him.”
Wait a minute, how do we know he was a mexican national - I thought we weren’t supposed to ask about people’s immigration status, even after soemone commits a crime!
True. The liberal view is that we should not have the death penalty in the first place. So Obama wants to show he tried to stop the execution.
But Obama is not really trying to stop the execution because of some notion of international diplomatic relations. It’s all because he is a good liberal who opposes capital punishment.
O’s going after the hispanic vote.
Eggsactly!
It's tailormade for a real conservative, it will interesting to see if Perry will step up to the plate.
By doing this, the "Professor of Constitutional Law" from Chicago has [once again] demonstrated that he has a fundamental lack of understanding of the Constitution.
How the hell did he get a law degree from Harvard anyway?
By trying to get "street cred" with the anti-death penalty crowd, he just looks foolish ...
Obama is such a fraud.
I was just reading up on execution in Texas, they use lethal injection these days but they really oughta bring Ole Sparky back for one last dance with this Humberto beast.
Texas retired the electric chair in 1965.
This is states rights, 10th Amendment territory. Obama is sucking up to his commie base.
My thoughts exactly, you have read my mind.
The Marxist is pure evil -- evil in his heart and evil in his intentions. I pray he is utterly crushed in the 2012 election. I want that evil man humiliated beyond words.
The most dangerous time for America will be between Nov 7, 2011 and Jan 20, 2012. The Marxist one will likely go insane trying to finish off our Republic. Da*n him and all his supporters.
Unless I misread the article, the victim was a 16 year old Hispanic girl. Have you ever seen how Mexican men take care of those who mistreat their children? You don't want to.
FUBO!
