I am getting a little worried. The "90% of Mexican cartel guns come from the US" meme has been discredited by Mexican authorities, BATF, Holder has backed off on pushing it, in the last week or longer(?)...and Obama repeats it again today.
Is he out of touch? Is he unable to learn any fact that doesn't support what he wants to do? Stupid? Unbalanced? Willing to lie blatantly if he thinks he will advance his agenda? Thinks no one notices when he lies through his teeth or is blatantly and clearly doesn't know the facts of an issue?
If this is a taste of what is to come, we are in for some hard sledding. You cannot make public policy based on facts that don't exist and expect to have ANYTHING work out well. The whole dialogue of what to do is corrupted, on any issue, not just this one.
The DHS report on us right-wing 2A supporters makes more sense than this, but maybe it is all of a piece with the leftist wonderland these clowns occupy. Only problem is these wingnuts control much of government. They have a lot of guns, a lot of power.
Past frustrated, now spooked. What the hell is going on?

MEXICO CITY | Meeting face-to-face with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, President Obama on Thursday said the U.S. is to blame for much of Mexico's drug violence, and he set up a major congressional gun-control battle by calling on the Senate to ratify a treaty designed to track and cut the flow of guns to other countries.
Mr. Obama said he wants to renew a ban on some semiautomatic weapons but that it is not likely to pass Congress. Instead, he called for the Senate to ratify a decade-old hemispherewide treaty that would require nations to mark all weapons produced in the country and track them to make sure no weapons were exported to countries where they were banned.
"I will not pretend that this is Mexico's responsibility alone. The demand for these drugs in the United States is what's helping keep these cartels in More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that line our shared border." business," Mr. Obama said at a joint news conference with Mr. Calderon. "This war is being waged with guns purchased not here, but in the United States.
