Fox News Poll: Arizona Was Right to Take Action on Immigration

According to a Fox News Poll released Friday, most American voters think Arizona was right to pass its own immigration law, and think the Obama administration should wait and see how the new law works rather than try to stop it.

Sixty-one percent of voters think Arizona was right to take action instead of waiting for the federal government to do something on immigration, versus 27 percent who think securing the border is a federal responsibility and Arizona should have waited for Washington to act. (Friday Night Lights)

ABC News: “Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea Party movement using a derogatory term with sexual connotations.”

Jake Tapper:  In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,”President Obama is quoted in an interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year ... That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.”
