On this point (above), we agree. Obama's pronouncement was designed to get a wild (and predictable) reaction from the GOP and conservatives. It would have helped the president draw a sharp contrast between the right and the left, that would benefit him in front of our brown friends. Romney, wisely, did not bite. There's no point firing up part of the left's base.
