President Obama and The Democrats: Out of Touch and Illiterate

When Barack Obama was campaigning we were told that he was one of the best legal minds running for president. Obama graduated magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School. He became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review and later worked as a civil rights lawyer. Barack was a Senior Lecturer of Law at the University of Chicago. The media keeps telling us he’s an expert on Constitutional Law.

President Obama has demonstrated numerous times that he is one lousy attorney and knows less about our Constitution than most of the illegal aliens pouring across our southern border.

In a press conference on July 2009, President Obama was asked by Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun Times about the arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. earlier that week by the Cambridge Police.

President Obama, using his profound lawyerly training said, “I don’t know – not having been there and not seeing all the facts – what role race played in that, but I think it’s fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home,“

Sgt Crowley responded to Gates’ home near Harvard University to investigate a report of a burglary and asked Gates to show him identification. Police say Gates at first refused, flew into a rage and accused the officer of racism.

Flash forward to President Obama giving us his brilliant legal opinion on Arizona’s Illegal Immigration Bill without reading it. On April 23rd, the day the bill was signed Obama said the Arizona bill threatens “to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and our communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe.”

Obama continued his criticism on April 27th, “Now suddenly if you don’t have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you’re going to get harassed – that’s something that could potentially happen,” Obama said of the Arizona measure. “That’s not the right way to go.”

Attorney General Eric Holder on NBC’s “Meet The Press” stated, “the concern I have about the law that they have passed is that I think it has the possibility of leading to racial profiling and putting a wedge between law enforcement and a community that would, in fact, be profiled.”

On Thursday, May 13th, Holder appeared before a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee and was asked by Rep. Ted Poe (R-Tex.), “Have you read the Arizona law?”

Holder replied, “I have not had a chance to, I’ve glanced at it. I have not read it.“, “I’ve only made, made the comments that I’ve made on the basis of things that I’ve been able to glean by reading newspaper accounts, obviously, looking at television,“

On May 2nd Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano the former Arizona Governor, slammed the bill on ABC’s “This Week”, “Unfortunately, I think it does and can invite racial profiling. I think it’s bad for law enforcement.” That same day Napolitano appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” where she asserted that under her management of the DHS, “The border’s more under control than ever before,”

At a Senate Homeland Security Committee Hearing last Monday, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) asked if she had read the bill, Napolitano replied, “I have not reviewed it in detail. I certainly know of it,” Janet Napolitano proudly told Jake Tapper of ABC News, “I’m a former U.S. attorney and attorney general, by the way.”

The law firm of Obama, Holder & Napolitano, couldn’t find their own ass with six hands.

Speaking of asses, how about those Democrats in Congress. When elected to office they all affirmed to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

About 215 members of the House and Senate are lawyers, that equals 40% of the legislature and I’ll bet that most of them have never read the Constitution.

That oath was thrown under the bus when Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke before a joint session of Congress on Thursday and condemned Arizona’s immigration law and said, “However I strongly disagree with your recently adopted law in Arizona.”

The Democrats rose and gave Calderon a standing ovation; at that point they threw American sovereignty overboard and were stomping on Old Glory.

Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said, “there is now an element in our political structure that seeks to undermine that concept of “E Pluribus Unum.” It seeks to hyphenate Americans, to develop linguistic divisions, to assign rights and preferences based on race and ethnicity, and to elevate devotion to foreign ideologies and traditions, while at the same time denigrating American culture, American values and American founding principles.

In order to do so, they know that they have to stop the process of assimilation. In order to do that, they must undermine our immigration laws.

It is an outrage that a foreign head of state would appear in this chamber and actively seek to do so. And it is a disgrace that he would be cheered on from the left wing of the White House and by many Democrats in this Congress.

Arizona has not adopted a new immigration law. All it has done is to enforce existing law that President Obama refuses to enforce.” (Full text)
