This morning, President Obama was speaking in Mexico at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia. It's the largest museum in Mexico, and the most visited site in in Mexico City. There, he took the opportunity to lament the fact that U.S. guns are crossing the border to be used in Mexican crimes.
While apologizing for the United States' appetite for illegal Mexican drugs, Obama said "We also recognize that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States. I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will."
He then went on to promise a continued press for gun control in the United States.
"But at the same time," he said, "As I’ve said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States. It’s the right thing to do. So we'll keep increasing the pressure on gun traffickers who bring guns into Mexico."
Isn't that super?
It's almost as though Barry's completely forgotten about his administration's secret gun-running operation. Maybe it's just me, but if I was interested in prosecuting an illegal gun-runner, I'd start with Eric Holder. After all, Fast & Furious sent thousands of guns directly to the very people Obama is so deeply concerned about disarming.
The hypocrisy and arrogance are simply astounding.
