Soapbox Alert! Obama and Calderon Press Conference

Washington, DC – Earlier this week, the media was obsessed with what kind of meal famed Chicago chef Rick Bayless would make for the Obama’s state dinner with the Mexican President.  Would it be mole tinged with gold dust?  How much money would the Obama’s state dinner cost?  More importantly, here is a second example today (ALREADY) that our politicians are totally out of touch with reality.

President Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon just conducted a press conference from the White House Rose Garden over the shit storm in Arizona.  I’m going to sum it up for you and point out where these folks are in dreamland.

1.) Mexico is totally pissed off at Arizona.  After the U.S., Mexico is Arizona’s biggest customer for exported goods.  Mexico just flipped the bird to Arizona economically.  Does Governor Jan Brewer live in a freakin' bubble?

2.) Obama is demanding that illegal workers learn English if they want to work here after obtaining permits by going through the proper channels.  Yeah, that will happen.  He also wants them to “get into the back of the line,” - the line for the proper way to do things.  How soon do you think the crackpots will make a civil rights analogy about the “back of the bus?”  Go Google it now. It’ll be there. Obama probably took French in high school.  I did, and I’m kicking myself right now.

3.) The violence from the drug cartels is due to America’s appetite for illegal drugs and we need to curb that appetite through education that drugs are bad.  Because you couldn’t curb it with the epidemic of anti-depressants being forced on us by fave political funders big pharma?  Drugs are fun, Barack.  You probably already know that. They make ignorant people more tolerable.  Teach people how to be courteous to each other instead of acting like they were raised by wolves and maybe we won’t need to numb our brains to tolerate each other.  Or, admit that Reagan’s “War on Drugs” is one of the biggest failed policies in our U.S. history, regulate them and reap the financial windfall already.

That’s all you need to know!  Unless you need a mole recipe.  And I doubt Calderon is going to be impressed with Rick’s frou frou fajitas.  They should have hired Diana Kennedy to be the chef.  Dumb-asses.
