Sweetness and Light Goes There

On no evidence at all, the cynical and suspicious minds over at Sweetness and Light are asking if the little Hispanic girl who, in a quivering voice, asked Mrs. Obama a question about immigration today at a New Hampshire elementary school, was a plant:

The student shyly raised her hand and said, “My mom … she says that Barack Obama is taking everybody away that doesn’t have papers.”

Mrs. Obama replied:”Yeah, well that’s something that we have to work on, right? To make sure that people can be here with the right kind of papers, right? That’s exactly right.”

The girl then said quietly, “But my mom doesn’t have any …” and trailed off.

Mrs. Obama replied: “Well, we have to work on that. We have to fix that, and everybody’s got to work together in Congress to make sure that happens. That’s right.”

I’m glad I’m not the only one with a cynical and suspicious mind…because I immediately thought the same thing. I couldn’t help it. Something bout it was just a little too precious.

What doesn’t ring true for me, is the fact that if you substitute  “Barack Obama” with “Republicans”, and she’s got the Dem talking point demagoguery  down to a tee, as propagated by Obama himself:

“now suddenly if you don’t have your papers and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you can be harassed, that’s something that could potentially happen.”

Of course, if she had said “the evil Republicans” are taking away everybody who doesn’t have papers….” that would have looked too obvious.

I know it’s koo-koo crazy nuts to think this way.

But it wouldn’t be the first time an Obama had used a child plant to ask a question.
