During the visit from Mexican President Calderon where everyone got to whine about the Arizona law, Obama said, “In the 21st century, we are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds.”
Is there a better example of meaningless gobbledygook? What exactly is that supposed to mean? Are we going to now deport people for illegally crossing our bonds? Why waste time saying things that don’t mean anything? I guess the only other alternative than Obama saying something meaningless was saying nothing at all, and that’s not really an option.
We are defined by our borders. Borders define the boundaries in countries. Apparently, the bond between Mexico and the U.S. is that they don’t respect that definition. Mexico severely enforces its south border while ignoring our border to their north; we just encourage that behavior by acting like we’re all friends.
What a real president should have done when Calderon started whining about Arizona enforcing federal law was slap him in the face and say, “Hey! That’s an American state you’re talking about! And you’re in America so you better respect that before my fist illegally immigrates into your face! Yeah, that’s right: I will drop you.”
I guess that might mess up our “bonds” though, and then how would we ever define America’s sovereignty?
“In the 21st century, we are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds.”
Then, since those lines on the map don’t mean anything, Barry shouldn’t have a problem with us altering some democrat voting districts.
What bonds do we share with Mexico? Pancho Villa’s attack on New Mexico? The Mexican-American War? Drug trafficking? Illegal immigration? Selma Hayek? OK, the Selma bond is good. I’d like to bond with Selma.
Thanks to you, Barry, no one is buying our bonds.
Which side did Mexico help in WW1? How about WW2? How about the Cold War?
Yep, some good bonds there…
If Barry had any stones he’d have asked Calderon to prove he was in the United States legally…
Just wait until Barry tells the USMC to remove “Halls of Montezuma” from their song. Uh oh.
It’s simple- the Democrats desperately need voters to keep them in office to continue having a majority to push their agenda. Those future voters are today’s illegals. 0bama hates America and is taking it apart piece by piece. If he scolds Arizona and praises Calderon and holds a State Dinner in his honor, Barack Hussein looks like a magnanimous benefactor to the illegals/future voters. It’s all part of the grand plan…Either that, or he’s an idiot-either way, if it works, we’re hosed come November 2nd.
By the way, does anyone else find it strange that he ignores “Red” States (Tennessee floods, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama oil spill) and only pays attention to”Blue” States, especially if they’re turning on him / switching sides?
And now that Democrats are communists, shouldn’t they be “Red” States?
I am not defined by how nice I keep my home and property, but by how many people, regardless of whether they’re law abiding or not, come and go as they please.
To call that Gobbledygook is more polite than he deserves. The only “bonds” I can get behind are the kind you snap around the wrists of illegals right before you shove them back across the border. How’s that Laser-Eyed Dinosaur thing coming?
Obama knows lots about bonds. He is bonded in servitude to every dumb*ss dictator he meets.
Doesn’t China own most of our bonds?
Hmmm. Still don’t make sense. I’m gonna continue trying to figure out how 007 movies define us in the 21st century.
Burt, you took my line. Now if it was Fred Thompson talking about bonds, we would know he meant sitting the illegals in the Aston Martin’s ejector seat. The one labeled “Mexicannon”.
All Obama says is gobbledygook. What else is new?
Maybe “bonds” refers to that little game ha and Mbo play.
Bonds plural may indicate there are several 007 clone operatives in our midst. I think this is the bigger issue.
I think he was misheard. He said they will know us by our bows. That’s why he has been bowing to everyone with a rank of mayor or higher.
“In the 21st century, we are defined not by our borders, but by our bonds.”
So first they are going to let the little weasel into the hall of fame, and now the idiot in the White House thinks we are defined by a steroid using massive moron who stole the record from one of the greatest players ever. Next he will be telling us that biden is smart.
Speaking of gobbledygook, anyone notice that obama’s press secretary speaks a lot of gibberish?
Regarding el presidente calderone and his statement on the White House lawn: any 19th century American would have handcuffed calderone to obama and kicked calderone’s butt all the way back to mexico city.
Señor Presidente: ¡Come mierda, pindejo!
That applies to either president.
When he said we are ‘defined by our bonds’ I immediately thought of a chain-gang cracking rocks.
Funny how word association works sometimes.
Sounds to me like Barry Sorento is looking for a new source to purchase our bonds that no other country in their right mind would buy. Wonder how many Felipe took off his hands after the round of applause from Democrats.
