Don't get fooled again - by Obama

It's easy for Obama to look "populist" by taunting the GOP on immigration like this:
President says, “You know, they said we needed to triple the Border Patrol. Or now they’re going to say we need to quadruple the Border Patrol. Or they’ll want a higher fence. Maybe they’ll need a moat. Maybe they want alligators in the moat. They’ll never be satisfied.”
Or for his Justice Department to hang a hedge fund trader's head on the wall:
US Attorney Preet Baharara (said) in a statement, “There are rules and there are laws, and they apply to everyone, no matter who you are or how much money you have.”
But, this is still the same president who plans to run a $1 billion re-election campaign without any public financing. He'll need some hedge fund money for that; he'll need some independents who are worried about immigration.
