Barack Obama says he won’t visit the border because he isn’t interested in photo ops, Texas Democrat counters with “we don’t need to have photos”

  Barack Obama has no intention of visiting the border in the midst of his manufactured illegal immigration crisis and he has made that all too clear in recent days. His latest excuse? He isn’t interested in photo ops. So says the man who has been interested in photo ops at least 35 times, and this list does not include the photo op with Chris Christie in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy or the selfie he took at Nelson Mandela’s funeral.

  Texas Democrat Henry Cuellar has been very vocal in his opposition to Barack Obama on this issue, so much so that he claims he received an angry phone call from the White House, and now he has another message for Barack Obama: “we don’t need to have photos.”

“I’m hoping that if he doesn’t make it this time, that sometime in the future he can go in. We don’t need to have photos,” Cuellar told Fox News. He also noted that some Border Patrol stations “don’t allow cameras, so we don’t have to worry about cameras there.”

  It is interesting to note here that Barack Obama’s first thought was about himself, as is evidenced by his excuse that this would be a photo op, when he should be more concerned with what is going on at the border and what the Border Patrol Agents are going through as a result of his policies.

    Henry Cuellar seems to agree:

Cuellar said he wants Obama to visit the overwhelmed border “so he can talk to the young kids”; give the Border Patrol “a pat for the great work that they’re doing”; and thank the “poor communities on the border” for the burdens they’re bearing.

  But of course Barack Obama already knows what the Border Patrol and the communities are going through because he engineered it in the first place.
