Terrific. If people are taking what he said “out of context,” how come Kyl didn’t mention that when he challenged the White House for denying what Obama told him? […] I went back and re-watched the clip (skip ahead to 3:20 or so) and, yeah, it’s a bit more ambiguous on second view — but only a bit. The thrust of his point, that Obama’s extremely reluctant to enforce the border until he can appease the left and Latinos with an amnesty deal, stands as is. The difference is that Kyl’s now casting him as sort of a prisoner of his base, as if The One would really wants to crack down on illegal immigration but just can’t get those darned progressives far enough off his back to do so. Whether that’s an honest description of how Obama feels (giggle) or merely Kyl trying to heal a rift with the White House after the fact by offering a little spin on The One’s behalf, I leave for you to judge.
