The entry level requirement for leftist intellectual poseurs is a willingness to speak nonsense while pretending to reveal undeniable truth.
On Friday, President-for-the-time-being Barack Obama easily met the challenge.
Speaking at a Rose Garden ceremony to naturalize 24 U.S. military personnel, Obama aid he had instructed his staff to "closely monitor the situation" to make sure that Arizona's new immigration law doesn’t violate people's civil liberties.
By the way, what are the odds that the Rose Garden ceremony just happened to take place as the Arizona law was taking effect. More likely, it was another snotty, defiant act by the poseur who regularly disgraces the White House with adolescent antics.
The only mystery here is which people's civil liberties Obama has in mind. Under the Arizona law, illegal immigrants have fewer liberties, or rights, than American citizens. In recent years, however, the intellectual class has ignored the claims of American citizens while wailing about illegal immigrants who don't even have health insurance and have to lower themselves to using hospital emergency rooms.
It's safe to assume that Obama was talking about the "liberties" of the illegal aliens who may be inconvenienced by the new law.
The question is, why don't Obama and his fellow poseurs even consider the rights of American citizens, who see their wages frozen or lowered by the competition of foreign workers, and in some cases can no longer get even a low-paying job because illegals will take what they can get.
Precisely how, in the minds of the intellectual poseurs, did American citizens lose their rights to illegal aliens who, in some regions, come and go as they please? And why is Obama now poised to spring to the defense of illegals while remaining silent, or even oblivious, to the deprivations that befall American citizens because of governmental inaction on illegal immigration?
Who does this White House represent?
Please answer that question before election day.
