This is the speech President Barack Obama gave last December 28th from Kailua, Hawaii. Skip to the five minute mark when he discusses the Iranian protests…
“As I said in Oslo, it’s telling when governments fear the aspirations of their own people more than the power of any other nation.”
As Ed Morrissey reported Friday, President Obama said that Arizona was being “irresponsible” for passing an immigration reform bill which makes illegal immigration a crime in the state. Why is Barack so concerned with the aspirations of Arizonans? They simply want to counter the tide of illegal immigration that has brought so much crime to their state. Instead of being concerned about the threat posed to Israel by a nuclear armed Iran, the Obama administration is focusing its attention on whether or not illegal immigrants will have their civil rights violated by this new state law (being illegal immigrants, they don’t have any rights, but that is far to complicated an idea for Barack and his supporters to figure out).
What was it that he said again about governments fearing the aspirations of their own people? Pathetic…
UPDATE: It just keeps getting better, doesn’t it? Even with the White House admitting that the Arizona law is due in part to the failure of Congress to enact meaningful and comprehensive immigration reform at the national level, the Department of Justice is still reviewing the legislation that was passed last week in Arizona. Hot Air’s Allahpundit has more, as well as video of Press Secretary Robert Gibbs trying to justify the Obama administration’s position on this new state law… Mind-boggling…
