As if he hasn’t violated enough laws, President Obama is now violating Newton’s Third Law of Motion. That’s the one that says “to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
In February of this year the President announced that he was sending troops to the Mexican border.
That action was accompanied by lots of hoopla in the media, but in a completely unequal reaction, the withdrawal of those troops has now been quietly announced in a letter to a Texas congressman.
The Washington Examiner has the details:
The Obama Administration plans to withdraw National Guard troops from the Texas, New Mexico and California borders by the end February under a new Southwest security plan, even as turmoil in Mexican border cities grows, according to documents obtained by The Washington Examiner.
A letter sent to various members of the Texas Congressional delegation from Texas’ Gov. Rick Perry’s office says, “In February, 2011, the Texas, New Mexico, and California National Guard forces that were deployed to the border in September, 2010, under President’s Obama’s Southwest Border Augmentation Plan, will have 30 days to complete a total draw down of forces.”
The roughly 550 troops will have the month of February to redeploy back to their units, Texas Congressman Ted Poe told The Examiner. Troops would not be pulled off the Arizona border under the plan, and about 100 of the troops would re-deploy there from other states, officials said.
Poe received the letter today. His office confirmed with Department of Homeland Security officials that the plan came from the administration.
“I’m surprised the president would so quickly remove troops from Texas. They’re not supposed to leave until July,” said Poe.
Fact is, Obama withdrew those troops faster than the French front lines fleeing a battle.
Congressman Poe shouldn’t have been surprised. It doesn’t matter where the President sends troops – the Mexican border or Iraq or Afghanistan – he seems to be incapable of doing it without simultaneously announcing a date that they will be pulled out.
He just wishes he could surrender in Afghanistan as quickly as he surrendered on the Mexican border.

If for every action there is an equal reaction. WE should welcome Mexicans and provide them with affordable healthcare in our country , as they do for us. Watch this funny but truie video http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-november-30-2009/american-refugees-seek-health-care-in-mexico
Was anyone expecting him to keep his word ? He , and the Dems , need these people for their expanding voter power.
The only thing that evil people need to succeed , is for good people to do nothing.
Pathological Liar
Again, not surprised.
why should americas poor and uneducated have to compete against poor uneducated illegals OH YEAH,cheaper labor
American Civil War 2.0 will start in the southwest and officially be about succession but in reality be a race war.
YT, this scares the hell out of me. How do we fix this?
More bullshit from the bullshit administration.
Both parties would do this. I'm not positive what the back-room reasoning for letting our country get swamped with illegals is but I figure its money or votes (always is).
The votes I'm not even that sure of. Ya, it could be a way to seduce a long-term vote from latinos but politicians don't usually think long term.
My guess is that is a sly way to fund social security or keep real wages down. The rubes would get wise to whats going on with the money supply if we had a wage-price spiral like in the 70s.
, we need our soldiers handing out Koran's to our enemies in prison and standing by idle while TSA agents molest little children at the airports - we can't have them keeping the border secure! I mean really, what do you think they are? Defenders of freedom?!?!
