Feeling the nuclear fall out yet? The cries of this is wrong and unfair to have a foreign head question the policies of the United States?
*FLASHBACK*
Mexican President Felipe Calderon condemned Arizona's tough, new immigration law during a joint session speech Thursday to Congress.
Calderon said the Arizona law, which is meant to stem the tide of illegal immigrants into the state, primarily from Mexico, "introduces a terrible idea that uses racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement."
"I am convinced that a comprehensive immigration reform is crucial to securing our common border," the Mexican president told lawmakers in both parties gathered for the speech. "However I strongly disagree with your recently adopted law in Arizona."
Democrats stood and applauded Calderon's remarks at that point in the speech, while many Republicans remained seated, with no applause.
The President of Mexico is against a law intended to keep his own citizens in his country?
I guess that says something about what he thinks of his own citizens.
Seriously, that is messed up from a lot of angles that people never even think about.
I have been sitting on this for awhile. Ever since the whole Bibi thing coming to speak and the outrage from the Democrats, I recalled this quite vividly and just had to chuckle at the Dog and Pony show!
Political Porn has become as entertaining to me as regular Porn as of late!
Turn about is fair play IMHO. But it can also be seen as playing petty politics. In this case, the GOP trumped the Dems though. Netanyahu is a bigger player in the world than the Mexican President.
He doesn't sound like a whiner either.
Beware the man who has one gun, he probably knows how to use it.

One thing I found hilarious?
The Democrats had a presser to throw their hissy fit, and the very first guy that spoke, was scared, not telling the truth, or on drugs!
I am not an expert on body language by any means, but his eyes were darting around like he was on something! I will be keeping an eye out for the video clip so I can show you what I mean.
ALSO to note, not one of the Democrats who were at the presser speaking, were any of the well know players in DC!
I think they got tossed to dogs in case there might be some unexpected blow back. Consider this, the 2 biggies attended the speech! Pelosi and Reid.
I wonder what those guys did to piss off Pelosi and Reid, since it's obvious they were thrown to the wolves. Maybe they're testing the waters by throwing sacrificial lambs out first before they speak out?
If their little sheep get chewed up and shat out, then we won't hear squat from them.
Or maybe, Israel quietly informed them of all the shady deals that they knew of and threatened to leak them to the press prior to election time?

The Obama admin won't be happy until everyone has a nuke.
America is no better and no different than any other country.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan boy of Bibi!
I feel just as sorry for the average citizens of Israel struggling to survive as I do the people in my own country!
Call it comedy or drama, but I am becoming thoroughly entertained?
I am just sad to say that if our political leaders have become this pathetic? I might as well find things to laugh about, because getting angry anymore over things that have no end in site is fruitless.
The guy was literally wringing his hands! I know of the expression, but have never seen it before until now. Sounded nervous as all hell, like his family was being threatened or something.
I did laugh when he said he was offended. Hey! Suck it up Buttercup! L_L

He has plenty of experience speaking in front of people! Right?
So my question is "Why today did he sound so scared?".
To a freshman congressperson it must feel like being a bleeding fish in a sea of sharks? This guy just got turned into chum!
It could be that someone took a few Democrats aside to explain a few facts of life to people too naive to understand them without help.
Namely...Israel doesn't fight a nation to kill a few men. They kill those few men. Sometimes in their sleep, and sometimes by taking out half a Hotel in a quiet European neighborhood. The US has ALMOST openly turned against Israel, and Israel has ONLY been safe all these years because (before Obama) the world knew that Israel would NEVER be left alone to fight and possibly lose an all out war. So..why start one when they'll just bring the whole US Navy and half the Air Force into the mix within a day or two?
Now...that threat and deterrence for peace doesn't exist as anything credible. Israel is almost ripe to pluck in the eyes of fighters a little short sighted or VERY cold blooded about enduring the losses Israel will inflict in their dying breaths. (The Sampson Option is just their way of life for backstopping national defense policy. As sure as MAD was for us) After all, the enemies who they face don't even mix words on the subject, or play games with half truths. I'll give 'em THAT much, anyway. They outright state Israel would be a nice land....without all the Israelis in it...and they intend to solve the problem side of that equation to the last person.
What can Bibi do? I don't like him either, personally, but he's no more a single man to consider for downfall than any world leader, where national security and true, total war is in the offing.

Actually, Mexico's position on immigration has nothing to do with care about the citizens. Good or bad for that matter. I think the Mexico City government is largely indifferent to the plight of their people, except when fighting starts.
This is why Mexico can't get enough Mexicans up on THIS side of the border:
Every end of the month, millions of Mexicans go to their banks and Western Union branches in Mexico City, Oaxaca and Puebla to withdraw the money sent to them by their relatives in the U.S. Reaching around $20 billion annually, remittances are a core part of Mexico’s economy -- and for many people, the key income, the basis of their existence.
Remittances in Latin America are expected to add up to $61 billion this year. A little over a third -- $22 billion -- will go to Mexico, making it the largest recipient in Latin America and fourth in the world, as explained in a new report by the World Bank.
Now that comes from the deep deep ancient past of...2013. However, I think the point is still quite valid. It is about what this is always about in the end. Money. Lots and LOTS of money. It's been a whole economy building for a long time, and now seriously needed by Governments as well as peasants, for how MUCH is actually moving over lines and into local tax bases.
Israel, back in 1948, looked like pretty much any spit of land in the Middle East. Nowadays however, it is a garden spot considering all the agriculture going on there.
That has to piss a lot of people off.
