My buddy is a law enforcement officer. He has been approached by several people lately wanting to know how to identify a meth lab. So he sent me this picture to help in the identification. Here is a picture of four labs. I think it's pretty obvious which one is the meth lab.

What happened during his visit to El Paso? Most working people and business owners were not there to hear his words. Instead, interested people caught the presidential sound bytes from the El Paso campaign stop on television last night. Knowing unemployment was up (not down) during the month of April and the federal budget deficit was up (not down) viewers saw their president change the subject. Instead of supporting employers and employment Obama pretended the U.S. border with Mexico has suddenly become secure. It was a truly amazing political spectacle. Just across the river from a city that is the drug cartel-plagued murder capitol of the world, Obama could be heard actually making fun of people who desperately hope for the day to come soon when the U.S. Border Patrol will have sufficient resources to detain all who would enter the U.S. illegally. As of now, the estimates are the agency captures roughly one in three that illegally cross the border.
Why would Obama say these things? It is simple. The president is making a bet. He believes that people in the border states, particularly New Mexico can be divided along ethnic lines with most Hispanics in favor of open borders. Will the Obama strategy work? It might. But then again, the top three elected officials in New Mexico are Susana Martinez, John Sanchez, and Dianna Duran. The last time we checked these popular Hispanic leaders favored a dramatic emphasis on border security and a much more focused dedication towards supporting employers and employment. You don't have to be a political rocket scientist to figure out what Obama is really doing. Why bother talking about a floundering economy that is struggling under the heavy weight of bad energy policies and heavy handed regulations? And with 51% of all households not paying any federal income tax, those who actually do contribute to the nation's coffers are a much easier political mark.The futility of discouraging productivity be damned, 51% is well.....it is 51%. And politics is a numbers game right? And what the heck........with recent developments in the Middle East going on campaign trips makes plenty of sense. It seems like a cinch that if the president will just go out and mingle with people who can actually leave their jobs to listen to him, somebody is bound to shout out a thank you to him for killing Osama bin Laden. Then with credit in hand, he can humbly thank "the troops."
