The Obama white house recognized the holiday “Cinco de Mayo” a day early on May 4. Obama meant to make a joke saying “Welcome to Cuatro de Mayo,” (the fourth of May) and instead turned his joke into a gaffe saying “Cinco de Quatro” which translates “fifth of fourth” or “five of four.”

5/4/2009 President Barack Obama’s joke was lost in translation—when he referred to a Cinco de Mayo celebration as “Cinco de Cuatro.” Obama jumbled his words as he welcomed guests to the White House to observe the Mexican holiday, sending the crowd into laughter before he referred to the day correctly.

“Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro—Cinco de Mayo at the White House,” said Obama, in what appeared to be an attempt to note they were celebrating on the fourth of May instead of the fifth.

Cinco de cuatro means “five of four” in Spanish.

“We are a day early, but we always like to get a head start here at the Obama White House,” he said.

Lost in all the other fun stories of the day, ones such as Obama To Fire His First Gay Arabic Linguist, Obama asking to double the budget to catch tax cheats(snort!!!!!), and, as written at Fark, “Nancy Pelosi: I was not briefed on waterboarding practices. CIA: Our documents, let us show you them,” is President Obama’s plan for the border fence

President Obama’s budget blueprint Thursday shelved extension of the controversial border fence beyond the 670 miles already completed or planned — rejecting the much-heralded security approach orchestrated by former President George W. Bush.

The Obama administration’s turnabout left funds for roads, lights and so-called tactical infrastructure — but not a dime to extend the pedestrian fencing and vehicle barriers erected along roughly a third of the nation’s 1,947-mile border with Mexico.

Originally, Obama voted for it as a Senator, and will provide funds to finish the first 670 miles, but, nothing to go any further. What with the escalating violence at the US-Mexico border, the home invasions, and the continuing flow of illegal aliens, you would think that Mr. Constitutional Lawyer would read the part about protecting American citizens from all foes, but, making a surprise appearance for a burger photo op is more important. I’m sure the lights will really stop the cross border incursions.

But, we already know that Obama and the Democrat Congress are looking to bring back Shamnesty and count illegals during the next Census. And

As part of the upcoming year’s budget, President Barack Obama has proposed cutting the State Criminal Alien Assistance program, which spends $400 million annually to cover the costs state and local facilities incur in keeping in jail illegal immigrants who are also criminal offenders.

Unfortunately, if all the extreme right wing extremists who are considered extreme right wing extremists for against allowing illegal aliens to become citizens and giving them driver’s licenses stand up to make their voices heard, the powers that be will not sit down, listen, and act, as happened when the GOP still controlled Congress and the White House.
