Calderon beyond insulting

The Spokesman-Review

Once again our pretender in chief has invited the leader of another country to come here and make a mockery of our laws, our way of life and our efforts to help ourselves. For Calderon to come to my country and tell us how we’re not serving him and his people’s needs adequately goes beyond insulting. To rub salt in the wound, Congress gives him a standing ovation, and they should all resign out of shame.

Arizona acted to protect itself because our government has not done what it needed to do for years, and now the current powers in office are pandering to another foreign leader in order to drum up the Hispanic vote for a faltering administration this November. Mr. Calderon really needs to clean up his own backyard before he comes here criticizing how things are done.
