Obama Mocks GOP, Jokes They Want Border Moat
wibw.com -- May 10, 2011
On his first trip to the U.S.-Mexico border since becoming president, Obama boasted of increasing border patrol agents, nearing completion of a border fence, and screening more cargo.
"We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement," Obama said. "But even though we've answered these concerns, I gotta say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time."
{continuing with the transcripted humor and subtle points ...}
President Obama:
"You know they said we needed to Triple the Border Patrol -- well now they're going to say we need to Quadruple the the Border Patrol.
Or they'll want a higher fence.
"Maybe they'll need a moat ... Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat."
"They'll never be satisfied."
Wow!
[continuing from the referenced article ...]
Trying to build public support for legislation congressional Republicans don't want to pass, Obama said: "The question is whether those in Congress who previously walked away in the name of enforcement are now ready to come back to the table and finish the work we've started."
Way to challenge them to solve the immigration problem, especially after doing all that the GOP has been whining about, to actually strengthen the Borders.

Keep calling the GOP's bluff, sir. Keep challenging them to DO THEIR JOBS!
Keep painting them for the "Extremist Obstructionists" they actually are.
Let them hear those "political alligators", nipping at their heels.
The people are restless with their Obstructionist games. We see right through them, as a matter of fact. It's time they were made aware of it.
Hey GOP Stop the Whining! and start the Working ... for the American People, already!
