There was a day when the President of the United States was a statesman, a leader who served all the citizens of this great country.  Sadly, that day is gone.  The last one was January 19, 2009, President George W. Bush’s last full day in office.

The next day, Barack Obama brought his thuggish Chicago style politics to the office of President.  He’s tried to position himself above the fray, but clearly he is the instigator behind the take no prisoners march to socialism which has brought us the (failed) stimulus, Obamacare, financial reform, ownership of GM and Chrysler, pending cap and trade legislation, etc.  Fortunately (and surprisingly), the Republicans have (for the most part) stood united against this government takeover of every aspect of our lives.  The Tea Party movement has helped the wayward Republicans begin to find their way again and that has been a very good thing for this country.

However, the return of this country to its conservative roots is a major hindrance to our President and his socialist agenda.  It has brought out his true colors, and they are not red, white and blue.  As reported by the New York Times:

In a radio interview that aired on Univision on Monday, Mr. Obama sought to assure Hispanics that he would push an immigration overhaul after the midterm elections, even though he has not been able to attract Republican support.

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”

Referring specifically to Republicans such as Senator John McCain, who formerly supported an overhaul but now are stressing border security and supporting strict immigration laws like Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration measure, Mr. Obama said, “Those aren’t the kinds of folks who represent our core American values.”

The President is so wrong here on so many levels.  First of all, people who disagree with the President are not enemies.  People who try to kill us, like radical Muslims, are enemies.  But you will never hear this President call radical  Muslims our enemies.  It appears that only conservatives and Tea Party members are worthy of being called enemies.  What happened to the new kind of leader who was going to bring the country together?  That was pure BS, as evidenced by his “I won” statement his second full day in office.

Secondly, we do not need immigration overhaul until we have border security.  BUILD THE FENCE!!  Heck, the Mexicans are building a fence between themselves and Guatemala.  Why should we not do the same?

Finally, who is Barack Obama to tell anyone that John McCain does not “represent our core American values”?  There are a lot of things with which I don’t agree with John McCain, but I have never questioned his core American values.  Where was Barack Obama when John McCain spent 5 1/2 years in the Hanoi Hilton and refused early release when offered because the NV wouldn’t release every other man captured before him?  Would our narcissistic leader have shown such restraint and honor?  I think not.

I’m hopeful the American people will send a message to this President next Tuesday and that message will be “You lost.”
