I've got to hand it to the president. He's unbelievable. What he lacks in accomplishments on immigration reform, he makes up for in nerve. His message to Latino voters is a mile short of inspiring: "I realize I'm no great shakes, and that I've broken my promise to fix a dysfunctional immigration system. But hey, the other guys are worse. So please stop picking on me."

If Latinos fall for that line, they deserve what they get from this administration -- which is, very little.

It should come as no surprise that the man who ran on a platform of "I'm not Bush" should continue in the same way. No matter what the issue is, the only thing SNOBama has to say is "It would be worse with the other guys". It could be the economy, the war in Afghanistan (deaths have tripled under his direction) or any other issue. His entire message is that he might be a devil but it's a devil that we know. The American people are looking back and saying the devil that we knew is better than the devil that we know now so it's not that the road untraveled is unknown.

Wow. Sounds almost like McCain.

"I am the best you can get!" The universal battle cry of the two party system.

Screw Navarette.

And, just what the hell is a "Latino" or "Hispanic" anyway?

Racial obsession, a favorite mutual hobby of both brown American racists and clueless white Americans, in which everyone with a brown skin and Spanish last name are amazingly the same person, somehow exclusively represented by self appointed "advocates".

I'm sick of it all.

The media bombarding us with the "white vote", "Latino vote", "African American vote", ad infinatum, ad naseum.

The racial numbers game, from employment to college admission to government representation.

Anti illegal advocates babbling endlessly about "Hispanics", Brown extremists finding white racist boogymen under every rock and in every closet.

Jeezo f-ing Peet, why is it this way?
