Obama's part in the Arizona immigration crackdown law

The Arizona immigration law has received plenty of comment and denunciation from Democrats and the Obama administration.  But President Obama should not forget that he made that law possible.

The law was signed by and is supported by Arizona Republican governor Jan Brewer.  But the way Jan Brewer got to be governor is that Obama made her governor, by appointing Arizona's then governor, Democrat Janet Napolitano, to be head of Homeland Security.  Jan Brewer was next in line so she  moved into the governor's mansion with the results we are seeing today. .

At the time I thought it was odd that Obama would turn over a hard-won governorship in the Southwest to the GOP like that.  And now it's come back to bite him.   I wasn't then and still am not sure that Janet Napolitano was such a slam dunk for Homeland Security causing this turnover in Arizona was worth it.
