Obama, McCain Clash Over Border Patrol

26 May 2010 06:52 #1 by Wayne Harrison
Thankfully, no food was thrown: A lunch between President Obama and Republican Senators grew heated on Tuesday, with Tennessee Senator Bob Corker attacking the president's "audacity" in using the GOP as "props" while he pushed through his initiatives with "party-line votes." A source says that Obama told Corker, "just because Corker didn't get what he wanted he shouldn't get so mad." But Corker wasn't the only one to butt heads with the president. His old rival, John McCain, says that he told Obama, "We need to secure the borders first. He didn't agree"—which seems odd, considering Obama followed up the meeting by announcing plans to send 1,200 National Guardsmen to the Mexican border. The Daily Beast's Bryan Curtis floated the Rio Grande to see the immigration war's biggest flashpoint up close.

Politicians, like flags in the wind. The Arizona immigration Law is to be questioned because it did not originate "here". Now an effort to do something. What that will be remains to be seen. Perhaps the guard will be there to assist people to come across?

I read somewhere that the Guard would only be there as paper pushers.

I hope that is not true, we don't need more paper pushers, we need boots on the ground.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.

The 1200 do appear to be window dressing.

Probably would have been more but the most of the National Guard is tied up in Iraq.

Yesterday I heard McCain describe what was going on in Arizona as "Violence beyond description"...But when he visited Iraq at the height of a "war" where an estimated 1 million people have died he described it as "safe and stable"...Lol

Whata POS

A Phoenix police officer was shot and killed around 1 a.m. at a gas station-convenience store. If the suspect turns out to be an illegal alien, get ready for some real fireworks.

Yes from what I heard, they are not there to arrest or detain anyone. Just to observe and report. Doesn't make sense to me.
