President Obama took a quick break from the links today to issue a statement on the Supreme Court’s ruling on Arizona’s immigration law. Evidently, he forgot about that whole we shouldn’t “demagogue a national problem” like immigration reform thing. Shameless hypocrisy, yet again. You see, President Obama was quick to grossly pull out the race card and, you know, demagogue the issue in his statement.
Obama says "We must ensure that AZ law enforcement officials do not enforce this law in a manner that undermines civil rights.."

Obama: "No American should ever live under a cloud of suspicion just because of what they look like.. #SB1070

The “cloud of suspicion” because of “what they look like.” You mean, like #forkgate, Mr. President?

@CuffyMeh @WestWingReport What cloud of suspicion? If you get stopped for traffic infringement and are a legal citizen, produce license.

That doesn’t fit a false narrative, sillies! Common sense is hard.
Instead, President Obama is using demagoguery in tandem with fear tactics in order to politicize an issue to further his own agenda. Again. It’s just like the deplorable statement he made when Arizona’s law was first passed. Back then, President Obama made the “gutsy call” to try to tell people that they’d be scooped up and whisked away, all willy-nilly, when out getting ice cream with their children.
Obama is applauding SCOTUS decision on AZ. He should be embarrassed. They said immigration enforcement is Fed's job – a job he's not doing

But, racist! And clouds of suspicion and such!
We must make this a reality: "What makes us American is not a question of what we look like or what our names are" Obama on SB 1070 #sb1070

Let me repeat this: The part that the moron Left decried as "racist" was UPHELD by EIGHT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES today. #sb1070 #tcot #p2

EIGHT Supreme Court Justices said Eric Holder's racial profiling worries were a bunch of BS today. #SB1070 #tcot #p2

Exactly. This wouldn’t even be an issue if the federal government was doing its job; protecting our borders and not leaving states to fend for themselves with far more limited resources. Worse, the federal government falls down on the job and then the holier-than-thou Obama administration sues them for passing a law made necessary by the federal government’s failure. While happily demonizing them and labeling them racists.
It is not racist. No one is being targeted for what they look like. Any “cloud” is a cloud formed by committing an illegal act; entering this country illegally!
No one is anti-immigrant. This is an outright lie that the Left contemptibly tries to push. Non-liars know that there is a difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration. For a Harvard graduate, President Obama doesn’t have a great grasp of words nor their meaning. Intellectual honesty is not his strong suit. Frankly, we don’t know what is, besides frittering time away on the golf course. What an accomplishment!
The provision of #SB1070 that Obama demagogued the most was UPHELD by EIGHT Justices today. Taste it, Obama. Taste it. #tcot #p2

Indeed. Your demagoguery attempts are failing, champ.
