Obama, Get off Your Knees

I really don’t know what this president is doing. I think that most of the country doesn’t know what he is doing either. What’s worse is that most people think that Obama himself doesn’t know what he is doing. He seems to be in way over his head. Most of the decisions he makes haven’t made much sense. There so many examples of it, but I will address his latest.

Obama has asked the Supreme Court to stay the execution of convicted murderer and rapist Humberto Leal Garcia Jr.  Humberto Leal Garcia Jr. happens to be a Mexican citizen. Obama wants to stay the execution until the Congress passes a piece of legislation that would make the state of Texas honor an international treaty. That treaty says that foreigners arrested must be allowed to call their consulates. In 2008 the Supreme Court ruled the U.S. or any state could be made to enforce an international treaty because there was no U.S. law to compelling them to. So, you guessed it, Obama wants to have congress pass laws to protect foreigners and foreign interests. Has he not seen the news in the last 30 years? Has he no idea that countries around the world wouldn’t think twice to execute any American they deemed guilty of much less than murder and rape. Is his nose that high in the air as to not see what is right in front of him? Or, perhaps he is on his knees and the world leader in front of him is blocking his view. Obama, should leave Texas and other states to carry out justice as they see fit. Obama should concern himself with federal matters, like maybe the 9.1% unemployment and the fact that the country is broke. Let Humberto ride ol’ sparky and be done with it.  What will Mexico do? Close their borders to us? That would solve the illegal immigration problem and then there will be more jobs for Americans. Will they stop their trade with us? Heck no. They need the U.S. more than the U.S. needs their poorly made products. Will they deny visas to tourists? Another emphatic no, tourist dollars are a major source of revenue in Mexico. There doesn’t seem to be much of a down side here, on the contrary it looks like all up side.
