Is it me or is it really weird that we get more media coverage about predator drone kills of Taliban chieftains in Waziristan than the President of the United States openly speculating about putting troops on\u00a0 our border with Mexico<\/a>?<\/p>\n \u00a0President Obama weighed in Wednesday on the escalating drug war on the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that he was looking at possibly deploying National Guard troops to contain the violence but ruled out any immediate military move. <\/strong><\/p>\n “We’re going to examine whether and if National Guard deployments would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense,” Obama said during an interview with journalists for regional papers, including a McClatchy reporter.<\/strong><\/p>\n “I don’t have a particular tipping point in mind,” he said. “I think it’s unacceptable if you’ve got drug gangs crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens.” <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I’m afraid that we are already at that tipping point<\/a>.\u00a0 Perhaps the Department of Justice has better uses for scarce resources than investigating a Sheriff, at the political behest of far\u00a0leftwing Congressmen, for enforcing U.S. immigration laws<\/a>.
