After delivering a statement about his administration’s plans to deal with the current crisis at America’s border with Mexico Wednesday afternoon, President Barack Obama addressed for the first time the mounting criticism over his decision not to visit to border on his trip to Texas this week.

This from the moron whose staff’s primary concern is “optics”? It’s all theater and nothing but theater to 0bama, and it’s been like that since the styrofoam Greek columns and the phony Nobel Peace Prize.

Yeah photo op playing pool is fine though-

I guess it’s beneath him to go to border and thank the folks who are changing diapers and feeding babies eh?

How many other photo ops has this President inserted himself into?

He’s quick enough to rush for a photo-op around tornado damage in a blue state though. /S

What did any dirty filthy dog ever do to deserve such an unfair and mean comparison as that.

He’s more interested in fund raising. I’m getting on board with Dennis Miller. I’m going to check out. He said he now lives in the United States of Miller.

The purpose of a Border is to keep Illegal Aliens out.

Start with isolating the Illegal Aliens by language barriers by banning teaching and speaking Spanish in all Public Schools, then stop all Government Welfare Payments, and then fine employers $1,000 per day per Illegal Alien.

The ultimate goal is to treat Illegal Alien Invaders who cross from Mexico into the USA, the same way that USA Citizens who invade Mexico are treated today.

This is a practical application of the Democrat’s Fairness Doctrine used in a manner to re-create a Southern Border for the USA.

Obama started this Southern Border WAR, and We, The People will finish it so that this Illegal Alien Invasion from Mexico into the USA NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN!

It is time, - - - - time for a change.
