And no, this isn’t an Onion piece. It’s just another sign that the end is well and truly near, so we needn’t even pretend to have any shame left whatsoever:
“Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum. “I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will.”
“But at the same time, as I’ve said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States. It’s the right thing to do,” Obama added.
When asked by the press how his statement (which one reporter meekly noted may come across “to some” as “potentially either ignorant or arrogant”) comports with his Justice Department’s having run guns to the Mexican drug cartels without the knowledge of the Mexican government, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Mexicans and a US border patrol agent, Obama seemed caught off guard and flustered.
“That isn’t — first, let me be clear: you will find no bigger fan, anywhere, of churros than me. And trust me, if I could change the US currency from paper money into delicious fish tacos — and Michele wouldn’t be too angry, I don’t think, because fish is high in — in the Omega 3, which is very healthy — I would do that today. So make no mistake. My commitment to Mexico and the Mexican people is unshakable.”
After which he dropped to the stage, busted out a few break dancing moves, and demanded the arrest of two Idaho dudes who made a YouTube video mocking Senor Wences.
I mean, c’mon. Obama asked something of substance by the press? Please. Tell me you smelled that bullshit right from the outset. Otherwise, you disappoint me, people.

What’s his position on assault churros? The wrong churro in the right hands can do a lot of damage.
Down with the Burrito Bund! Libera los churros!
Churros are deep-fried and coated in cinnamon sugar. MO disapproves. For The Children™.
Either the guy is completely unselfaware, or he is trying for brass balls of the year award to go next to his Nobel.
Yeah, whose fault is that, jackass?
With full auto, select-fire, AKs available on the underworld market for much less than the cost of semi-auto only ARs and AKs from the US it would only be some “prestige” factor that would cause the cartels to prefer to us US supplied firearms for the average cartel criminal.
It would be crazy strange if while lying about the US while in the US to the faces of the people of the US who know he’s lying about it (and them) Obazm would go abroad and tell aliens, who haven’t necessarily got a clue, the truth about it.
Is Obama this arrogant, clueless, stupid, or all of the above?
If memory serves, during an interview on Telemundo, Obama was put on the spot about Fast and Furious and avoided answering the question.
And yet Obama thinks it’s a good idea to go to Mexico to spout his lies about guns and violence in Mexico.
I have to hand to our President. Even after 4 years, he manages to surprise me, and not in a good way.
The head of the US nomenklatura goes to another country and speaks to a gathering of their nomenklatura. Is it conceivable that there would be a tiny whiff of truth spoken? Especially in an openly broadcast forum. Even when Khrushchev spoke to the Party of the “crimes” of Stalin he did so in a closed meeting.
This is why you shouldn’t elect a cosmopolitan to a national office.
It’s funny to think of Khrushchev paralleled to the baby-pussy Obazm, just as with LBJ, since both the Soviet and the Texan had a lifetime of serious party politics — and with it, a deep grasp of power politics — under their belts before they rose to holding power themselves, and therefore were both capable of moving issues forward as they saw fit. Obazm, in this, as in all else in his puny life, is all pretense and make-believe.
I can’t decide if the gun statement or the drug statement is dumber.
We understand that the root cause of violence that’s been happening here in Mexico for which so many Mexicans have suffered is the demand for illegal drugs in the United States. So we’ve got to continue to make progress on that front*.
I suppose pimps and hoes are not responsible for their crimes, the problem is lonely horny men. And poor thieves, is it there fault I have such nice things worth cash.
*Many people don’t believe me but, I have never smoked marijuana or snorted cocaine but, I know someone in high office who has.
If only Obama would have finished his anti-American screed with a plea for the good and noble Mexican people to save themselves from the violent gun toting gringos by putting an end to migrating across the border in undocumented fashion by the millions.
“Why,” he might have asked, “why do you sneak into such a nasty and dangerous place full or racist yankees bitterly clinging to (when they aren’t selling to them to innocent Mexicans) their guns and xenophobia?”
Oh well, another opportunity lost…
Cosmopolitan? I thought he was born in Kenya?
Yeah, and he was just a small child when he arrived in Hawaii via Indonesia. That’s three continents and who knows how many dog dinners before his balls dropped. Can’t get much more cosmopolitan than that.
Well sure, just as those corn farmers in Indiana with their bitter clinginess and their lax gun laws are responsible for the violence in Chicago.
that settles it
we need to have a fence for so all the guns can only go through places where we can make the gun smuggling american terrorists pop their trunks

Obama Calls Push for Gun Control Only the ‘Beginning’
“The last time we had major gun legislation it took six, seven, eight tries toget passed.”
our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will.
So, when are you gonna start on that, Barack?
Obvious observation alert: note how it is “we” when is a bad thing and it is “I” when it is a good thing.
what do you mean “we” half-white man?
you will find no bigger fan, anywhere, of churros than me.
Silly POTUS: churros are from SPAIN.
maybe it was totus?
start referring to baracky as “whitey” obama. mslsd will get a kick out of it.
Now I see why it was so unhelpful to press the administration on Fast and Furious.
Don’t know if you’ve heard about this one yet:
Colorado bill raises possibility of voter fraud and intimidation, critics say
Colorado’s Democratic-controlled state legislature is ramming through an election bill that critics say will open the door to voter fraud and intimidation.
The “Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act” is expected to pass the legislature this week. Democrats control both chambers of the legislature, as well as the governor’s mansion, meaning the bill could pass without a single Republican vote.
The Colorado law would make mail-in ballots mandatory while eliminating local polling places and allowing people to vote on the same day they register.
Full speed ahead!

As I said back in comment #6, the cartels aren’t stupid, certainly not as stupid as what dribbled from Obazma’s mouth in that speech.
Dribblings…
