Obama gave part of Arizona to Mexico? Why would Mexico want it?
Did your air conditioner go out? Is your girlfriend riding you like a pack mule? Did the dog chew up the rug?

Not to worry, because we have your scapegoat. Obama. That's right. Everything that's wrong with your life can be blamed on the Pariah-in-Chief. The reason for the oil spill? Obama's not underwater with his mouth over the hole, inhaling.

And now he's given part of Arizona back to the Mexicans.

Last week, Fox News ran a story that many people took to mean Obama has handed over chunks of Arizona to Mexico. I called my friend who has a bed-and-breakfast in Clarkdale, Ariz., to warn him, but he said the Mexican Army had yet to arrive.

"Critics say the Administration is in effect giving a major strip of the Southwest back to Mexico," Fox reporter Shannon Bream said toward the beginning the story. This led to a YouTube headline on the video that said "Obama Gives Back Part of Arizona to Mexico."

5. That was the 2008 story. Keep up.
IIRC, La Laguna Atascosa wildlife refugee (or some such wildlife-friendly national chunk of land) was on the "wrong" side of the fence being built, so that Americans wanting to see ocelots would have to cross a border point in order to visit a piece of America.

Again, the language was that this was done "in effect."

Same for some parts of UT-El Paso, I think it was. Part or all of a golf course in/near El Paso.

4. Can we give Mexico just the tiny part of AZ where Jan Brewer's house sits?
