That cloud of dust you see over the Sonoran Desert was caused by Arizona’s Democrat politicians distancing themselves from President Obama as quickly as possible.
The Hill reports the details:
Arizona Democrats facing tough reelection races are distancing themselves from the Obama administration as it prepares to file a lawsuit against the state over its controversial immigration law.
Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.) on Monday sent a sharply worded letter to President Barack Obama urging him not to sue.
I believe your administration’s time, efforts and resources would be much better spent securing the border and fixing our broken immigration system,” the two-term congressman wrote in the letter. “Arizonans are tired of the grandstanding, and tired of waiting for help from Washington. … [A] lawsuit won’t solve the problem. It won’t secure the border, and it won’t fix our broken immigration system.”
Two words: Adios, amigos.
When (not if) Obama follows through with his threat to sue Arizona, Arizona’s Democrats will become as endangered as the blackfooted ferret. (Yes, we looked it up. The blackfooted ferret is on the list of endangered Arizona species.)
