Los Suns son estúpidos

Turns out Los Suns are in fact showing support for illegals.

 The National Basketball Players Association said in a statement yesterday that the Arizona immigration law is “disappointing and disturbing” and called for its repeal or modification. The players’ union also praised the Suns.

“We applaud the actions of Phoenix Suns players and management and join them in taking a stand against the misguided efforts of Arizona lawmakers,” said the statement by NBPA Executive Director Billy Hunter.

Los Suns point guard Steve Nash (a Canadian), "I'm against it. I think that this is a bill that really damages our civil liberties. I think it opens up the potential for racial profiling and racism. I think it's a bad precedent to set for our young people. I think it represents our state poorly in the eyes of the nation and the world... Hopefully it will change a lot in the coming weeks."

Says a man from a country that censors speech.     Isn't sweet that a rich athlete who probably lives in a gated community with security can feel the pain of illegals, but not the need to protect the citizens who pay his salary. Dope.

Obama Spends Week Race Bating Arizona Immigration Law While Oil Spill Reaches Shore

Obama fiddled while Rome burned. He wasted time rabble rousing and race bating Arizonans who just want the law to protect them. Unfortunately, it appears that our community organizing President is only good at community organizing. At a time when we need a President to be Presidential, we are stuck with one who lacks the capability.

Turns out the administration was unaware that the defense department has oil spill fighting equipment. Whole administration is a bunch of novices. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

From the NY Times H/T to Gateway Pundit:

As oil edged toward the Louisiana coast and fears continued to grow that the leak from a seabed oil well could spiral out of control, officials in the Obama administration publicly chastised BP America for its handling of the spreading oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico, where Obama is expected to travel this weekend.

Yet a review of the response suggests it may be too simplistic to place all the blame for the unfolding environmental catastrophe on the oil company. The federal government also had opportunities to move more quickly, but did not do so while it waited for a resolution to the spreading spill from BP.

The Department of Homeland Security waited until Thursday to declare that the incident was “a spill of national significance,” and then set up a second command center in Mobile, Ala. The actions came only after the estimate of the size of the spill was increased fivefold to 5,000 barrels a day.

The delay meant that the Homeland Security Department waited until late this week to formally request a more robust response from the Department of Defense, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano acknowledging even as late as Thursday afternoon that she did not know if the Defense Department even had equipment that might be helpful.

By Friday afternoon, she said, the Defense Department had agreed to send two large military transport planes to spray chemicals that can disperse the oil while it is still in the Gulf.
