Obama Calls Arizona Legislation Misguided? Are You Kidding?

President Obama said Friday that his administration is keeping an eye on the impact of legislation passed in Arizona that would allow state police officers to check the documents of people they suspect are living in the United States illegally.

Obama said he has told members of his administration to “closely monitor the situation and examine the civil rights and other implications of this legislation.”

"Our failure to act responsibly at the federal level will only open the door to irresponsibility by others," Obama said at a naturalization ceremony for service members. "That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe."

He added, “If we continue to fail to act at a federal level, we will continue to see misguided efforts opening up around the country.” - Politico Story

This coming from the President who has lead us in misguided legislation and actions from the moment he took office. Are you kidding me?
