Mr. Obama, Please Read Arizona's Immigration Law
Fox News ^ | May 19, 2010 | John R. Lott Jr.

Posted on 05/19/2010 12:28:10 PM PDT by JohnRLott

Members of the Obama administration, who soundly condemned Arizona's new immigration law, are now admitted that they have never even read it. Could President Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderón find themselves in the same boat based on comments they made today at their joint appearance on the White House lawn?

Let’s review. The first person who had to admit he had never read the Arizona law Attorney General Eric Holder made his admission last week. On Monday, it was Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's turn. On Tuesday, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley revealed that he, too, had not read the bill, despite commenting on it. Given how inaccurate these officials have been in their descriptions of the law, maybe members of President Obama’s team simply had no option but to plead ignorance.

After all, how do you take a law that clearly states the following: "A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, or town or other political subdivision of this state may not consider race, color or national origin,” and then claim that it is racist or could lead to racial profiling? . . .

Socialists don’t teach how to read in school... agendas are much more important.

Ask Felipe Calderon what happens to Americans if they are caught working in Mexico “without their papers.”

He could probably read it if they put it on a teleprompter.

Obama and Co. (including Holder and Napolitano) know damn well the AZ law is a virtual copy of federal law, and that racial profiling is strictly forbidden. They just aren’t going to pass up an opportunity to demagogue the issue.

They must have all gone to the same school as Tom “I Don’t Read The Bill” Carper (Idiot - DE).

They don’t NEED to read it.
It’s like the back of the refrigerator. You see all these wires and the rest. All you need to know is, you open the door. The light goes on.
It’s terrible legislation that will lead to racial profiling.

Yes, but that would be reading without understanding. After all, a demagogue wants words to mean what what they say and emote.

It doesn’t matter if he has read it. He is going to lie about it to make political hay anyway...

And President 0-bummer, after you read it please brief Atty General Holder and Homeland Security Chief Napolitano. If it’s too much to read perhaps each of you could read a third and brief the others.

If he read it he couldn't play out his race-baiting act.

Obama Mocks Fox, "Teabaggers" video

NRA: Barack Obama - "bitter gun owners" video

President Obama, No One in Arizona is Laughing video

Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, ... asked, “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit” Democratic voters “and it will encourage the extremists.” - Nov. 7, 2009

A President who mocks and taunts Americans, who incites his followers to be confrontational, is troublesome.

Barry0 is a race-baiting liar. Period!

Don’t encourage them to read. Let the Bungling White House Burglar and Company stay ignorant as well as stupid, so they can wonder why we’re all laughing at ‘em.

NO, it's not like that - Liberals decided they are sooooooo much smarter than anyone else that they don't need to plug the refrigerator in to make it work.

For liberals, "feelings" trump facts. Feelings trump truth, feelings trump reality. Eff 'em.
