REMEMBERING OLD SONGS

Remember the old song?: "Here we go again, it's like an old familiar song again"

Meeting with Mexican President Calderon, Obama vowed to speed up (aka increase) US aid to Mexico to help Mexico fight its war against violent drug cartels. "It's not just his battle, it's ours, too. He (Calderon) has taken responsibility and so must we." You know Calderon...the one who last week blamed us for what is going on in his country.

Please! Mexico's problems are not ours to fight, to spend the money we don't have on. It is our problems that are our problems, Obama...you know the ones you don't know how to deal with, the ones you choose not to deal with.

Like keeping our southern border secure from illegal traffic: people, drugs, guns, violence and crime. Like bankrupting us. Like sucking up to our enemies. Like ignoring our country's values of justice and equality. Them's problems.

Our problems, Obama, are not (remember the old song?): "South of the border, down Mexico way".

They are in Washington, DC.
