Once again, the Obama administration has the lack of focus to pay more attention to a political matter (in this case, illegal immigration) that, although important, does not rival the importance of another noteworthy and higher-priority matter (in this case, how international terrorism is dealt with on our shores by the Department of Justice.) Further, it displays the hubris to put political polling in front of people’s needs – or, more directly, Americans’ needs.

When first criticized by the public for trying to take on too many initiatives early in 2009, the Obama administration responded that they had the power of the White House behind them, so it should be expected that they would be able to multi-task from the nation’s capital.

However, after missing the boat in 2009 on unemployment after using much of the year to focus on health care reform, it seems that all the president’s men will overlook the opportunities to “get it right” within the Justice Department for the sake of getting distracted by another non-prioritized issue.

Well, this time, it is all of the president’s men – and a lady secretary of state.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s admission that the Department of Justice is moving forward with a lawsuit against the state of Arizona because its SB 1070 violates the civil rights of non-citizens was shocking, not just because of its platform (done during a foreign broadcast overseas), but also because of the hubris and lack of focus it demonstrates.

Once again, the Obama administration has the lack of focus to pay more attention to a political matter (in this case, illegal immigration) that, although important, does not rival the importance of another noteworthy and higher-priority matter (in this case, how international terrorism is dealt with on our shores by the Department of Justice.) Further, it displays the hubris to put political polling in front of people’s needs – or, more directly, Americans’ needs. The willingness of the Obama administration to acquiesce politically to his base led America to a costly and misguided health care debate that rampaged our attention through most of this presidential term, even while repeated terrorist plots were being foiled by Providence or the fast-acting wit of Americans – all that, only to have the Department of Justice deal with these terrorists inappropriately. Now, that mindset continues, looking to take over the immigration reform issue, even as oil spills into the Gulf of Mexico and unemployment rovers around 10% for over a year now.
