Quote of the Month

Here's the latest pronouncement from the golfer-in-chief from the G20 meeting in Canada:

"A strong and durable recovery also requires countries not having an undue advantage," Obama told journalists at the end of G20 talks in Canada.
Barry, old boy, the function of a national government is to assure that ones country has every conceivable advantage over it's neighbors. You can fairly easily tell if your government is doing its job by asking yourself, "Would I rather live here, or next door."

Places with (relatively) competent governments have little problem with this. South Africa, I'm sure, has no desire to be more like Zimbabwe, nor does South Korea look to North Korea for anything beyond a bad example.

If Obama succeeds in getting the U.S. to the point that we have no "undue advantage" over Mexico, I suppose that would solve the illegal immigration problem. The problem with that is that it would cut in to the Dems voting constituencies noticeably.
