Professor Pitney on El Presidente Barack on Nos Enemigos

President Barack Obama is apparently a divider, not a uniter.

Professor Pitney, over at The Corner, says that Obama is talking a different talk than he did on the campaign trail. He writes:

It is sad to see that President Obama is urging Hispanic voters to “punish our enemies.” On June 3, 2008, then-Senator Obama said:
But what you don’t deserve is another election that’s governed by fear, and innuendo, and division. What you won’t hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon – that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize.

Just who are his enemies?

Well, turns out the Pope, who believes immigrants should assimilate, is one of them...

Won't is a contraction. It means will NOT.

Please re-read the part about enemies and see that the meaning is opposite of what you are criticizing it to be.
