ANOTHER SONG AND DANCE BY THE GREAT PRETENDER!

The news broke in all the major news outlets that the Presidents is sending 1200 troops and perhaps allocation 500 million to the Borders states. Does it sound as though perhaps the Administration is now serious about border control?
Well let’s see Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer and Arizona Senators John Kyle and John McCain have been asking the president for 6000 troops who are armed and have arrest authority just for the Arizona border. The 1200 troops being sent by Obama would not all go to Arizona but instead be split with other Border States. Equally these border agents would be behind the front lines and used as glorified assistants to border agents.

Interestingly yesterday May 25, 2010 the President met with Republican members and in their discussions about the Border issues the President spoke of immigration reform and McCain and others spoke of border protection and security. The debate got heated and the President did not comment to requests made that he to secure the border first before immigration reform would be considered by Republicans.

Senator John McCain and Senator John Kyl introduced Bill (S. 3332) and were asking for 6,000 troops along with money to implement completion of a fence, greater border resources and a visible armed troop presence among other provisions.
Why then after a meeting in which the president stayed silent on Border Protecting did the President seem to do a 180 turn and release to the press that he was sending 1200 troops and allocating 500 million to the border problem?

Answer twofold, one there was a good chance that (S.3332) would pass the Senate which is a bill very popular among not only with Arizona and other Border States but the American public. Two, this gives cover not only to the President who has been called the “most partisan President I have ever Dealt with…” (quote from John McCain in telephone interview about this subject on Fox News Greta Van Susteren’s show 4-25-10) but for the Democrats not now having to vote against the bill, that would further alienate them in November from the American people.

The 1200 troops and 500million in federal money is now the pay off and stall tactic needed for the Democratic Party and the President to pretend to be doing something about the border while just putting a child size band aid on a gushing artery. This is another decoy, another ploy, another political parlor trick, another smoke and mirrors image making that allows spin and cover for the President and Democrats.
Yes, he is the Great Pretender who claims to not be an “ideologue” but does he fool you?
