"Guest of Honor?"

Do you like being invited to parties? I like parties very much; there is usually food, drinks, desserts and friendly conversation. They sometimes play music and dance, depending on the type of party it is. Funny stories are pervasive and laughter is everywhere. Family parties are fun because everybody knows everybody and they almost always get along with each other. Most people don’t invite people they don’t like to parties; who wants to see somebody they don’t agree with or get along with at what is supposed to be a fun occasion? You don’t see many Cub fans at a White Sox convention, or Packer fans at a Bears convention. All that would result from those occasions would be name-calling and possible physical confrontations; not too much fun. It would be best to avoid situations where you are subject to any possible confrontations, if that is at all possible.

Politicians are given their offices at the pleasure of the people and are obligated to those who have given them their office. The will of the people is foremost in conducting the business of government. Sometimes an elected official must face the people on issues that are particularly volatile, and that is not usually a pleasant experience.

Over the last few weeks, the continuing problem of illegal immigration has been festering in the public eye, as thousands upon thousands of illegal immigrants are converging on our border and being sent to several American communities by the bus load.

Texas Governor, Rick Perry, has called upon President Obama to act on this situation, as it has put an undue burden on the people of Texas; thus far, no relief has been sent from Washington.

There are currently 50,000 “unescorted children” who have crossed into America and are now a burden on the citizens of Arizona and other surrounding states, and those taxpayers are expected to “foot the bill” for these unwanted visitors.

A policy now in effect is sending busloads of illegal aliens is meeting with great opposition from members of some American communities, as citizens have blocked the path of the vehicles and tried to prevent those criminal illegal aliens from entering their towns and cities. People have been arrested and violence has taken place because of this ill-advised action by the Obama Administration.

These communities have asked that President Obama come to the site of these protests and the sites of this conflagration of illegal entries; he has chosen not to appear there; so much for answering to the people.

This is odd, because President Obama will be in the area in question and would be able to personally address this situation to the affected communities, but he has chosen to go to a Democrat fund raising event instead of obeying his constitutional obligation to the American people. Mr. Obama’s attitude is arrogant and dismissive of the concerns of American citizens and their legitimate request that their President hear their voices.

There is a “party” going on at America’s southern border and Barack Hussein Obama has been invited to attend; in fact, he may even be the “guest of honor”, yet he is turning down the invitation.

Come on down Mr. President; who knows, you could be the “life of the party”!!
