Obozo... er.. Obuma Throws America Under the Bus

[Warph]

The disconnect between the Obuma administration and Americans focuses itself in this area, where the Obama administration thinks state efforts at immigration control in the face of federal inaction are human rights violations, while the general public overwhelmingly sees state immigration control action where the feds won't act as a good thing.  We have to get rid of Obozo and the Dimocratic Congress with which he has a symbiotic relationship.

Obama Throws America Under the Bus
Posted by Michelle Malkin on Sep 1st, 2010

An indignant President Obama complained last week, "I can't spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead." Fine. How about plastering a copy of his presidential oath of office there instead? The kowtowing commander-in-chief is in dire need of a daily reminder that his job is to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" — not international law or global diktats.

Case in point: Last week, Obama's State Department handed in America's first-ever report to the United Nations Commissioner for Human Rights in conjunction with something called the "Universal Periodic Review." In short, the 29-page document is a self-aggrandizing report card touting the administration's far-left domestic and foreign policy initiatives for the world's approval. The report boasts of racial- and gender-bean-counting in the executive branch; Justice Department outreach to Muslim grievance groups opposed to post-9/11 security measures; teachers' union payoffs in the federal stimulus law; continuing commitment to closing the Gitmo detention facility for enemy combatants; and the illusory lifesaving effects of Obamacare on minorities through "expanding community health centers" (which have yet to be built, but not that it matters in our Nobel Peace Prize-winning president's age of post-achievement).

The report also includes a section on "values and immigration," which essentially singles out Arizona's immigration enforcement law as a human rights deficiency "that is being addressed in a court action."

In response, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer rightly blasted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration for succumbing to "internationalism run amok." Brewer pointed out in a letter to Clinton, "Human rights as guaranteed by the United States and Arizona Constitutions are expressly protected in S.B. 1070 and defended vigorously by my Administration. In fact, the Department of Justice has correctly not included these so-called 'human rights' issues in the current litigation against the State of Arizona." Somehow, that inconvenient detail escaped the Foggy Bottom bureaucrats' notice.

No one should be surprised, of course, that the Department of Blame America First is prostrating itself before the likes of repressive U.N. Human Rights Council members Libya, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and China. No one should be surprised that Obama's globalist panderers couldn't simply keep their mouths shut and refrain from trashing Americans with whom they disagree. In May, you'll recall, Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Michael Posner preemptively trashed our country's human rights record to Chinese government officials and humiliated Arizonans — and all Americans — who support states' rights to protect their borders and enhance their security through strict immigration enforcement. An obsequious Posner called S.B. 1070 "a troubling trend in our society" in his bow-and-scrape conversations with the ChiComs.

The inclusion of Arizona in a politically correct catalogue of human rights and wrongs is more than "downright offensive," as Brewer put it. It's a national travesty. In the very same Obama administration document, the State Department praises the administration for its "robust protections for freedom of expression." The report notes sanctimoniously: "As a general matter, the government does not punish or penalize those who peacefully express their views in the public sphere, even when those views are critical of the government. Indeed, dissent is a valuable and valued part of our politics."

Yeah? Tell that to the Democratic members of Congress leading the punitive economic boycott and political demonization of Arizona. Or to Attorney General Eric Holder, who rushed to attack S.B. 1070 before he had even read it. Fresh off this U.N. mess, Holder's Social Justice Department has launched yet another vendetta against Arizona. On Monday, DOJ filed suit against Phoenix-area community colleges because they imposed strict citizenship screening of potential employees.

As Obama throws America under the bus for the cause of open borders, the shady U.N. human rights police must be laughing their jackboots off.

Obama working against Arizona.

Offered without comment, as profanity restrictions, and emotions prevent me from accurately expressing how I feel about this.  

Obama is anti ANYTHING that is for America..

Did anybody else hear Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday?  In the last hour Larry the Cable Guy was on.  He pretty much hit the ridiculousness (is that a word?) of the situation square on the head when he said, "What the hell is Arizona thinkin, trying to make it illegal to be illegal?"

Everyday~~~~~ the premeditated deterioration of our blessed country saddens me more and more..

I'm totally sympathetic to Arizona's plight and I don't understand why more isn't being done. Border control is indeed a federal responsibility and I just don't understand why things aren't happening, despite the ACLU and all that. It doesn't have to be mutually exclusive. I guess we're,in all seriousness, going to have to have a fund drive for the border patrol. The "illegal to be illegal" business I do understand .There are so many levels of "illegal" that the court system could be bogged down for years. There is the illegal because the Visa ran out, the illegal because they demand to be in defected political refuge status and are in limbo over that and are still allowed to be here while that is sorted. How about the illegal who bought their papers and really don't know they are illegal? The crooks who do that have a great sales pitch because they "know somebody'' who can cut all the red tape. They prey on the gullible illiterate. It works especially well on people for whom corruption is a part of daily life in the country they come from.The most well known of course is the Mexican "snuck over the border illegal." Is it a misdemeanor, malicious mischief, a felony?  What about the people who hire them? Are they committing a crime? If so what kind? How long do they tie up the court system?  With the average Mexican illegal who came looking for work, many have gone home because the work dried up.
 The violent drug cartels are something else. We better get on the stick right now before we start wishing we were back worrying about what Muslims MIGHT do. The drug culture is very violent, is killing right now without a second thought and could care less about American politics, the Declaration of Independence or our Constitution. If someone wants a huge issue to run a campaign on, that should be it. And not just Mexico, South America is involved, as is the Russian Mafia. As long as Americans allow themselves the privilege of drug use, they will always have customers and we better start doing something other than lip service about it.

I agree Diane; either we 'fess up to having a huge drug problem in this country and do something about it or we will eventually be overrun with these drug 'armies' from the south. Maria coming across the border to have her baby isn't the problem anymore. The large drug gangs are the big problem, and in the near future we will be having these drug wars on American turf. I do think the time is nearing when legalization of recreational drugs will or should be a reality.
