Yesterday Obama gave a speech in Mexico in which he said:
“Drug-fueled violence in Mexico is not entirely the fault of the Mexican people, he said. Instead, the United States shares the blame because much of the violence is centered around the Americans’ demand for illegal drugs and the fact that guns are smuggled into Mexico from the United States.”
Is Obama even aware of Fast & Furious?  Does he have any clue at all just how tone-deaf that sounds to any American familiar with the news?  Yeah, there were a bunch of guns smuggled from the U.S. into Mexico, all right – by a U.S. government sponsored program - run by the Obama administrations very own Eric Holder!

Good grief.
