OBAMA: Arizona criticism offensive

I submitted this letter to President Obama on the White House website Thursday:

Dear President Obama:

I was shocked and disappointed to see you stand in the White House and criticize our citizens in front of President Calderon and the rest of the world. You are supposed to be OUR representative.  You owe your loyalty to US, NOT MEXICO, or any other foreign power. The Federal Government has the responsibility of protecting our borders from foreign invasion. It is the most basic of all the federal government’s responsibilities. It has not done everything it could do in this regard. 

The people of Arizona have displayed true American spirit by taking on this problem and doing something about it. I don’t believe you have any constitutional or moral right to criticize them.  Please don’t embarrass us anymore by repeating this behavior.

Better yet, lead the federal government in fulfilling its responsibility to protect our borders.
