7/1/10: Obama Admits to Holding Border Security Hostage

Hey, remember when Senator Jon Kyl accused President Obama of holding border security hostage? At the time, Obama's apologists accused Kyl of lying to score political points. "Obama would never sacrifice national security by refusing to enforce our borders until he achieved his political goals," they said (paraphrasing).

Well, Obama just admitted to holding border security hostage:

"There are those who argue that we should not move forward with any other elements of reform until we have fully sealed our borders," he said. "Our borders are just too vast for us to be able to solve the problem only with fences and border patrols. It won't work."

Imagine that... The lefties kicked and screamed for a week about Senator Kyl's comments and here comes old President Bow n' Tax to confirm exactly what Kyl warned about - Obama wants amnesty before he even considers securing the border. Even then, Obama is lowering expectations of how secure the border can ever be. Keep in mind, this clown has mismanaged the BP oil spill so spectacularly that there really is no feasible way he could secure the border if he tried.

But he won't try. That's the point.

So now that Obama has confessed to taking an issue hostage, maybe Eric Holder can give him a trial in New York City? I kid... I kid...
