Hi polgara
Throwing a bunch of our money at those corrupt and incompetent bozos down there is not something I'm necessarily advocating or even supporting, it's just the fact of the matter that that's what is being done and it's something I can understand given those countries are poor and would find it hard to themselves cash up even to get their own kids back, assuming they wanted them back the future notwithstanding.
It simply points out, as I'd be confident you could appreciate either way, the government is doing something tangible and that is likely to be an effective incentive to get those governments and societies to be receptive to the repatriation of their own youth.
I'd much rather the governments there themselves paid for the repatriation of their own children, and I believe Washington too would much prefer to see it happen that way. Maybe - and it's only a maybe - if the governments there had to pay for the repatriation the governments and the societies there might think twice to instead spend a couple of bucks of their own to straighten up their own southern borders to stop the flow and transit of these kids.
But then I wouldn't expect much from the governments or societies down there that would be responsible, moral, just.
Obama bailed on the WH and attended a fundraiser while Benghazi was ongoing. He went to 3 fundraisers in the same state as an ongoing incident which HE describes as a crisis is occurring, then bailed to Colorado to be with the boys and shoot some pool.
Dood is a clown.
It still amazes me how quick Obama defenders are to point out that Obama behaves just like presidents they hate. :roll:
A smart and competent President would have gone to the border without the press following him around.
It amazes me how those with ODS are quick to attack him for behaving just like Presidents they love.
I dont think Clinton or Bush bailed on their presidential duties when there was an ongoing crisis to go to attend fundraisers. I cant Imagine Kennedy saying..."dang...this is hard, what with trying to figure out these missiles to Cuba...but...ooops...look at the time...gotta scoot. Theres a seat at a fundraiser with my name on it!"Not unlike his predecessors.
I'm guessing you're referring to Dubya and Katrina, an entirely different catastrophe. You don't even send in first responders in the middle of a hurricane, and the border situation is not a hurricane. Further, the President was already in Texas for fundraisers, and flying 300+ miles to survey the border or even just demonstrate the gravity of the situation by his presence was too much to ask.
Back peddling!! The WH said from the beginning that the trip had three purposes. One was to meet Perry on the tarmac. Perry preferred a set down and Obama complied. As for fundraising, leave that alone, you only look stupid. Every president fundraises. The oppossition party ALWAYS thinks he's doing it at the wrong time. Both sides do this. There's a problem on our border, an old problem with a new twist to be sure. But if you're just learning about it this year, that's a problem, too! No president, congress or party has ever secured the border between Mexico and the United States. It is what it is.
It amazes me how those with ODS are quick to attack him for behaving just like Presidents they love.
How exactly would he stop them? Free press, 24 hour news cycle....I'm surprised they don't film him taking a ****.
You people that voted for this man, read the bold part. Read it several times. The border is an unmitigated disaster, he's in Colorado shooting pool.

President G.W. Bush seem not to have any problem visiting wounded soldiers at hospitals without the news media knowing about it.
President Reagan was able to move about Washington DC and Santa Barbra with only one car and a couple of Secret Service agents with no press or cameras.
The same was true with Nixon. Ever wonder why there is no photo of Nixon speaking with anti war demonstrators late at night at the Lincoln Memorial ?
Well Rocket, you seem to be uninformed. Let me bring you up to speed.
Barack Obama suffers from narcissistic personality disorder.
In layman terms, Obama is a narcissistic. He thinks he's better than you.
Obama needs the MSM and all of the cameras. He needs 15 car motorcades just to travel one block from the White House to McDonalds. He can't even shoot pool with out a camera. His narcissism is so sever that when he traveled to Afghanistan for a photo op, all of the troops were given cameras so they could take pictures of Obama.
>" Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism..."<

I don't love George Bush, I just didn't spend 8 years burning him in effigy life the left did. Now the same people are trying to defend Obama by saying he is doing what Bush did.
Actually Obama is in the war room dealing with pressing issues related to terrorism. See attached image.

We were talking about Nixon, but it's great how quickly the right disowns Bush when it suits them. It's like a tactic you guys use - "I don't love Bush," "I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh," "I'm not a Republican." You're more slippery than Bill Clinton.
No, what's really slippery is changing the subject of the thread from Obama to Bush to Clinton or any other President, when the subject is clearly Barrack Obama.
I can't wait for 2017 when you'll still be talking about Obama. Because you will be. Guaranteed.
Proof that when it comes to paying attention to Obama, nobody does it more than cons.
I can't wait for 2017 when you'll still be talking about Obama. Because you will be. Guaranteed.
I doubt it.
But will you expain why the libs/progressives kept going after Sarah Palin after the 2008 elections ? ****, she was just the VP candidate.
Because what she represents scares the radical left ?
It's been 5 years and 7 months and the left is still going after Palin. :lamo
It's also been 5 years and 8 months since diarrhea of the mouth has continued spewing-
the beloved and de facto leader of the conservaTEAs who sets your GOP policy-
the darling of the CPAC-type conventions-
and still a leading voice in your primary process-
of course Moochelle and Hitlery are fame game in your book .
