I think President Obama made a smart decision to send the National Guard to help the Arizona situation. Although the folks in AZ have taken a lot of heat over the 1070 law, I have always felt that if they overreacted, it might have been because they felt somewhat abandoned and “on their own” with the problems they face. So by offering concrete support for the folks in AZ, the President is showing them they are NOT on their own. And that will go a long way.
