Who You Walk With

“Tell me who you walk with, I’ll tell you who you are” - President Obama


I hope all of you had a wonderful 4th of July holiday. Who could ever get tired of celebrating our nation’s birthday. I mean baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet. I was ready to celebrate all week long, and then I heard that the Justice Department had actually filed a lawsuit to overturn the Arizona law. I normally try to steer away from singling out Presidents for the actions of a government agency but this one is President Obama’s to own. It was at his direction, that Attorney General Eric Holder and the Justice Department “look into” then sequentially file this lawsuit. Rep. Brian Bilbray, (R)- Solana beach states “the Governments’ lawsuit highlights the failure of the Federal Government to enforce immigration laws. Calling for an injunction to stop Arizona from enforcing the law only compounds this failure”. Rep. Darrell Issa, (R) Vista said “For the better part of two decades, citizens in border states like Texas, California and Arizona have been told that illegal immigration enforcement is the responsibility of the Federal Government. While their concerns about the safety of their families and communities have been largely brushed aside or met with inconsistent, under resourced and ineffective responses from the federal government. Yes, this has been going on for decades but this is the first time the Government has sued a state for passing a law that mirrors the existing law.

President Obama spoke the quote above during a speech and press conference with Mexican President Calderon on May 19, 2010. Apparently this quote is from a Mexican proverb and you know what, I whole-heartedly agree with the President on this one. Now I must ask, whom does President Obama walk with?

How about Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama’s pastor of 20 years. You’ve heard some of the anti Semitic remarks this man has made. You don’t stay in a church for over 20 years with the same pastor, if you don’t share some of his beliefs. How about walking with “The Honorable” Louis Farrakhan? I’m sure you’ve heard some of his anti Semitic ramblings. President Obama’s church bestowed its highest social achievement award to Rev. Louis Farrakhan. This is the Louis Farrakhan who declared President Obama as “ The Messiah.” what about Bill Ayers? President Obama said he is a good friend of mine. This friend was the leader of a radical group that was responsible for several bombings of Government buildings in the 60’s. How about Hugo Chavez and Daniel Ortega? Both leaders of their countries and socialists to boot. I could go on but I think you get it. Two spiritual leaders, one of who believes there is a sphere, a mother ship hovering in the sky, a terrorist, and two socialist Dictators.

I know who President Obama doesn’t walk with, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer. Nor does he walk with the citizens of Arizona or large number of the American people. President Obama, tell me who you walk with, I’ll tell you who you are.

Here is my newsletter question for you all.

Q: Does the United States of America still represent freedom to the world or do you think we have lost our moral authority over the years?
