In border crisis, Obama is accused of ‘lawlessness’ for following law
A querulous quartet of conservatives took to the Senate floor Wednesday to condemn President Obama for his latest atrocity against the American way of life.
The Republican foursome, assembled to criticize the president for failing to visit the border during his visit to Texas this week, was coordinated by Sen. John McCain and included fellow Arizonan Jeff Flake and both of the chamber’s Texans, Sen. John Cornyn and the man McCain once dubbed a “wacko bird,” Sen. Ted Cruz.
“President Obama today is down in the state of Texas, but sadly he’s not visiting the border,” said Cruz, in a rare collaboration with McCain. “.?.?. He’s visiting Democratic fat cats to collect checks, and apparently there’s no time to look at the disaster, at the devastation that’s being caused by his policies. .?.?. It is a disaster that is the direct consequence of President Obama’s lawlessness.”
It is surely no coincidence that Cruz’s words on the Senate floor followed closely the logic of Sarah Palin, who this week wrote on the Breitbart Web site that Obama’s “lawlessness” requires his impeachment. “His unsecured border crisis is the last straw that makes the battered wife say, ‘no mas,’?” Wasilla’s favorite daughter wrote. “.?.?. Opening our borders to a flood of illegal immigrants is deliberate. This is his fundamental transformation of America.”
