Obama: No interest in border 'photo op'

Hi polgara :D

Throwing a bunch of our money at those corrupt and incompetent bozos down there is not something I'm necessarily advocating or even supporting, it's just the fact of the matter that that's what is being done and it's something I can understand given those countries are poor and would find it hard to themselves cash up even to get their own kids back, assuming they wanted them back the future notwithstanding.

It simply points out, as I'd be confident you could appreciate either way, the government is doing something tangible and that is likely to be an effective incentive to get those governments and societies to be receptive to the repatriation of their own youth.

I'd much rather the governments there themselves paid for the repatriation of their own children, and I believe Washington too would much prefer to see it happen that way. Maybe - and it's only a maybe - if the governments there had to pay for the repatriation the governments and the societies there might think twice to instead spend a couple of bucks of their own to straighten up their own southern borders to stop the flow and transit of these kids.

But then I wouldn't expect much from the governments or societies down there that would be responsible, moral, just.

Or maybe see what they could do to help the people they govern - much like FDR did in the Great Depression here. Surely there is infrastructure that could be built or repaired or something with the money they're going to get. The elite will doubtless keep the bulk of it, but surely it would benefit everyone if the rest of the people are not forgotten. The elite classes are not the ones trying to illegally enter our Country!
 
Obama bailed on the WH and attended a fundraiser while Benghazi was ongoing. He went to 3 fundraisers in the same state as an ongoing incident which HE describes as a crisis is occurring, then bailed to Colorado to be with the boys and shoot some pool.

Dood is a clown.

Not unlike his predecessors.
 
It still amazes me how quick Obama defenders are to point out that Obama behaves just like presidents they hate. :roll:

It amazes me how those with ODS are quick to attack him for behaving just like Presidents they love.
 
A smart and competent President would have gone to the border without the press following him around.

How exactly would he stop them? Free press, 24 hour news cycle....I'm surprised they don't film him taking a ****.

I'm guessing you're referring to Dubya and Katrina, an entirely different catastrophe. You don't even send in first responders in the middle of a hurricane, and the border situation is not a hurricane. Further, the President was already in Texas for fundraisers, and flying 300+ miles to survey the border or even just demonstrate the gravity of the situation by his presence was too much to ask.

I dont think Clinton or Bush bailed on their presidential duties when there was an ongoing crisis to go to attend fundraisers. I cant Imagine Kennedy saying..."dang...this is hard, what with trying to figure out these missiles to Cuba...but...ooops...look at the time...gotta scoot. Theres a seat at a fundraiser with my name on it!"

And the typical "but...but...but...THEY did it...thats the lamest of lame excuses."

Nope, follow the conversation. It was about Presidents bowing.
 
Back peddling!! The WH said from the beginning that the trip had three purposes. One was to meet Perry on the tarmac. Perry preferred a set down and Obama complied. As for fundraising, leave that alone, you only look stupid. Every president fundraises. The oppossition party ALWAYS thinks he's doing it at the wrong time. Both sides do this. There's a problem on our border, an old problem with a new twist to be sure. But if you're just learning about it this year, that's a problem, too! No president, congress or party has ever secured the border between Mexico and the United States. It is what it is.

Oh good Lord. A handshake on the tarmac is all of a few seconds. You can't really be making that argument, can you?

I don't love George Bush, I just didn't spend 8 years burning him in effigy life the left did. Now the same people are trying to defend Obama by saying he is doing what Bush did.

President G.W. Bush seem not to have any problem visiting wounded soldiers at hospitals without the news media knowing about it.

President Reagan was able to move about Washington DC and Santa Barbra with only one car and a couple of Secret Service agents with no press or cameras.

The same was true with Nixon. Ever wonder why there is no photo of Nixon speaking with anti war demonstrators late at night at the Lincoln Memorial ?

Well Rocket, you seem to be uninformed. Let me bring you up to speed.

Barack Obama suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.
In layman terms, Obama is a narcissistic. He thinks he's better than you.
Obama needs the MSM and all of the cameras. He needs 15 car motorcades just to travel one block from the White House to McDonalds. He can't even shoot pool with out a camera. His narcissism is so sever that when he traveled to Afghanistan for a photo op, all of the troops were given cameras so they could take pictures of Obama.

>" Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism..."<

You people that voted for this man, read the bold part. Read it several times. The border is an unmitigated disaster, he's in Colorado shooting pool.

Actually Obama is in the war room dealing with pressing issues related to terrorism. See attached image.

A non-psychiatrist diagnosing a patient he never met. And we wonder what's wrong with the right....

We were talking about Nixon, but it's great how quickly the right disowns Bush when it suits them. It's like a tactic you guys use - "I don't love Bush," "I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh," "I'm not a Republican." You're more slippery than Bill Clinton.

Good Call.

No, what's really slippery is changing the subject of the thread from Obama to Bush to Clinton or any other President, when the subject is clearly Barrack Obama.

I can't wait for 2017 when you'll still be talking about Obama. Because you will be. Guaranteed.

I doubt it.

But will you expain why the libs/progressives kept going after Sarah Palin after the 2008 elections ? ****, she was just the VP candidate.

Because what she represents scares the radical left ?

It's been 5 years and 7 months and the left is still going after Palin. :lamo
 
It's also been 5 years and 8 months since diarrhea of the mouth has continued spewing-
the beloved and de facto leader of the conservaTEAs who sets your GOP policy-
the darling of the CPAC-type conventions-
and still a leading voice in your primary process-
of course Moochelle and Hitlery are fame game in your book .

I noticed the "Moochelle" threw herself into Obama's open border policies yesterday when she came out saying she will be fighting for illegal aliens.

She's now more than fair game.

Before it was just her spending millions of our tax money playing jet setter and going of shopping sprees all over the world on the taxpayers dime.
 
It's pretty obvious that the Obama Liberals have made a conscious decision to let the American black community die. Pretty damn cruel considering the blacks have been the Obama's most steadfast, loyal supporters. Soon they will have no place to live. Based on Rangel's last narrow win, pretty soon they're going to be singing Celito Lindo at the Apollo in Harlem.
