I know there is nothing that the people who don't like Obama (or anyone who does not think exactly like them) won't say, no matter how far from the truth it might be.

FOXNews.com - Arizona Dem: Federal Agencies Nixing Conventions Over State's Immigration Law



Is this little man the most divisive, partisan piece of work we have ever experienced?

And let's not forget that he has chosen to side with a foreign country (and most likely put Mexico up to it) over a state of the US. He couldn't care one whit if it hurts the citizens of that state or not.
The heads of those agencies are all appointed by the President so they WILL give marching orders to boycott Arizona because they have their nose up his butt. But, Arizona should boycott Washington DC and toss out all of the federal agencies operating in the state or at least make it miserable for them to conduct business as usual. It doesn't have to be a direct order. You know maybe a slow response time here and there, maybe a snafu or two on some paperwork. ETC.

What will the petty man do next? Shut down the Grand Canyon National Park?

They don't.


A trilateral program for postsecondary education.

Couple of big words there.........


Trilateral = involving 3 parties (US Canada Mexico in this case)
postsecondary = college

If one part of a trilateral conference decides not to go (in this case mexico), it makes no sense to hold it there.

He stopped being fair and impartial the day he took oath.
Nothing like a little power to bring out the worst in people.

Nice try, but the majority approve of the Arizona law, and its only controversial to those who make it that way. Just because a minority opinion of citizens disprove of some state law or program is not cause for the federal government agencies to alter their schedules. This is federal employees inserting their partisan political views, plain and simple.

How bout something simpler....

1/3 of the attendees of the conference, were not going, and they were not from the DOE or USBP.

Hard to hold (and pay for) a conference when one of the three parties involved is backing out, no matter what the reason.

1. I am not the POTUS
2. I am not proposing suing Arizona over thier immigration laws
3. I did not tell a sitting US senator that I would not enforce the border laws so that he might support amnesty for illegals
4. I did not put 30,000 US oil workers out of work
5. I did not grant $2 billion to a Brazillian oil co. with major interest by George Soros, nor allow the taking over of the 32 rigs idled by the "moratorium".
6. I did not bribe Sestak
7. I did not punish counties that opposed Obama in the election by selectively reducing "stimulus" cash to these areas
8. I did not pass on the memorial day event at Arlington to attend a bar-b-que across the street from the Nation of Islam
9. I did not fire a field general over hurt feelings about criticizing Biden's squirt gun fight


All, in all, a pretty vindictive, cynical man. Two and half years left.
