WASHINGTON -- President Obama arrived on the scene yesterday of one America's most pressing political disasters and tried lecturing it away. It was a halting speech, punctuated with sighs and head-shaking.
America had been sent to its room and once again punished with a long, boring lecture.
What made yesterday's speech so remarkable was how callow and shifty Obama was about a topic of such dire importance.
He claimed that solutions have been "held hostage to political posturing" and wagged his finger at all those who just beg the government to finally enforce current law before creating a scheme of new promises.
Then he played the very same partisan games that created the problem.
He told us that illegal aliens cannot be stopped from crossing the border.
He said that laws on the books are unenforceable.
Anyway, he explained, those laws are immoral and un-American.
But the good news?
The border IS sealed!
"For the first time, we've begun screening 100 percent of southbound rail shipments," Obama crowed.
That's right, southbound, as in from the United States to Mexico.
As if that's how 11 million illegals got here.
All this from the executive charged with guarding the borders of our country.
