At the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, President Barack Obama continued his mockery of Americans with whom he disagrees.

He engaged in the same kind of mockery with the Tea Party when he said about its view of over taxation and the health care reform bill, “I would think they would be grateful…”

This time the President went after John McCain, Arizona and Arizona’s newly passed illegal immigration law. To the delight of the main stream media attendees, he mocked Arizona’s attempt to control its borders with these words:

“Unfortunately, John McCain couldn’t make it. Recently he claimed that he had never identified himself as a maverick. And we all know what happens in Arizona when you don’t have ID. (Laughter.) Adios, amigos. (Laughter and applause.)”

iVoteAmerica is headquartered in Arizona, where the approval rate of Arizona’s new law making it illegal to be illegal is a staggering 70% and climbing.

I wonder how the widow and family members of rancher Robert Krentz felt when she heard those words from the President of the United States, the Chief Law Enforcement officer charged with enforcing immigration laws and controlling the borders.

I wonder how the President’s mockery felt to Pinal County Deputy Louie Puroll, his family and the many law enforcement officials as Barack Obama made lite of the border situation in Arizona that led to the Deputy Puroll’s being shot by two undocumented aliens. Puroll was attacked about 5 miles south of Interstate 8 near its junction with Arizona Highway 84 and sustained a gun shot would near one of his kidneys. The Deputy was patrolling near Interstate 8 when he discovered marijuana bales and five suspected smugglers, at least one of which opened fire upon him with an automatic weapon.

On Saturday, May 1, 2010, Arizona law enforcement officials reported arresting the alleged drug smugglers responsible for shooting the Deputy and reportedly captured 17 suspected illegal immigrants, among whom are the three illegals who are now believed to be the shooters of Deputy Louie Puroll.

iVoteAmerica would like to predict the ouster of Barack Obama as our President in 2012 and to quote him precisely, “adios amigo.”

Sometime tonight or the early morning of Wednesday, November 5, 2008, we will have elected either Barack Obama or John McCain, as the next President of the United States.

Voting is fundamental to America and nothing could be more patriotic, not even paying more taxes!

Today is the day that each American creates his or her own chad, whether by paper ballot or electronic. iVoteAmerica encourages all Americans to please, vote today. Your vote does count.

Watch iVoteAmerica.com for the latest cutting-edge political commentary. We will have something to say late tonight and early tomorrow.

Oddly enough, iVoteAmerica is headquartered in Prescott, Arizona, the place where John McCain is scheduled to give his last political campaign speech.

He’ll do so at approximately midnight on the steps of the Yavapai County Courthouse located in downtown Prescott, Arizona adjacent to the historic Whiskey Row. The downtown square is being sealed-off, metal detectors setup and tickets to the event are being distributed by the local Republican office.

It’s Cold at Midnight in November

Cold as it will be, iVoteAmerica will be there, camera and recorder in hand, to listen to John give a speech that will either set the agenda for his Presidency or alternatively, give us a glimpse of the way he will exit national life and be remembered. There is a slim chance, that if defeated in his bid for the Presidency, that John McCain will return to the Senate.

After his speech, John will either head north to his to Sedona home or south to Phoenix, his other Arizona residence. The political weather will determine his compass point.

The leaves have already fallen from the trees in downtown Prescott, signaling the climate shift and its accompanying changes. It’s November. It’s cold at midnight in November at the Prescott, Arizona Courthouse. Those die hards who show up to hear John will be layered in sweaters and coats and wrapped in blankets to hear what will be watershed words.

Barry and Ronnie Created their Own Weather

John McCain, by all accounts, has run a horrible campaign. Forgetting George Bush for a moment, the once feisty, former maverick has at times sounded like Obama himself, endorsing government bailouts and talking about social reform.

Ever since he endorsed McCain for the Senate, John has often been heard laying claim to the mantra of Barry Goldwater. John, you’re not Barry Goldwater. Besides the millions of Americans that will vote for Barack Obama have no idea who Barry Goldwater is.

John has claimed to be a “foot soldier in the Reagan revolution.” This too is a bit of stretch. The truth is, he was around during Ronnie’s revolution. John, you’re no Ronald Reagan.

Barry and Ronnie had more than one thing in common. But the one trait they both possessed was the ability to create their own political weather. They were engaged in climate control long before it was a chic political buzz phrase.

John McCain being John McCain

John, you are John McCain! That’s a lot…that’s enough…that should have been the campaign story from start to finish but it wasn’t and after your midnight speech at the Prescott, Arizona courthouse, you may be headed to Sedona for rest and relaxation rather than to Phoenix to begin work with your transition team.

John, we needed you to be like Goldwater and like Reagan but always John McCain. The straight-talk express made an exit from the interstate when you uttered these campaign killing words, “I am suspending my campaign to go to Washington…” Yikes!

No, John, the words should have been, “See, this is what I am talking about…Washington is in chaos and that is why I am out here and this is where I will stay until I am elected to return to Washington to fix it!”

The marble steps of the Yavapai County Courthouse in downtown Prescott, Arizona are going to be cold tomorrow night, John. If you win, no one will notice and the crowds will be record and the partying on Whiskey Row will be raucous.

If you lose, it will be a bone-biting and bitterly cold night. John, all great political leaders have been able to create their own weather. If the polls are wrong (some will be) and if you are elected (you might be) it will be sunny and warm at midnight in November on the steps of the Courthouse in Prescott, Arizona.
