Why Your Credit Limit Increase Was Denied

9 Reasons Your Credit Limit Increase Request Was Denied
Ever wonder why your credit card company wont raise your credit limit? Here are some common reasons of why your credit limit increase request was denied, and what to do to increase the credit limit on your credit cards.
1. The account was recently past due
What it Means
You recently either missed a payment or made a late payment on your account. Generally, credit card companies don't approve credit line increase requests on accounts that have a late payment within the last six to nine months.
What to Do
You may want to enroll in AutoPay or use customized alerts to help stay on top of your accounts. Pay your credit card bill on time and your chances of getting a limit increase gets much better.
2. The average balance on this account has been too low
What it Means
When a credit card company reviews requests for credit line increases, one of the things they look at is the payment history of your account. If you regularly use your card and make payments on time, it builds your account's payment history. If you don't use your card, theres little to no payment history to review.
What to Do
Use your card more, just make sure that you use your card responsibly. Be sure to pay on time and try to make more than just the minimum payments and keep your balance at a 20% utilization rate.
3. The account has not been open for at least 6 months
What it Means
The credit card company needs time to establish how the account has been used and its payment history. Once they have this information, it's used as a guideline to help determine if the account qualifies for more credit.
What to Do
Feel free to request a credit line increase after your account has been open for at least six months.
4. The credit bureaus have reported a recent delinquency
What it Means
Your credit report shows you've recently paid one or more of your creditors late. Generally, credit card companies don't approve requests for credit line increases on accounts that have had late payments withinin the last six to nine months.
What to Do
Make sure you are paying all of your creditors on time. If you have questions about what's on your credit bureau report, contact the three bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and Transunion to resolve the issues or hire a company to do so on your behalf.
5. Your average monthly payment has been too low
What it Means
If you received this reason, it generally means you're carrying a balance and not making large enough monthly payments to qualify for a credit line increase upon request. Both the payment history and the amount of your payments help us to determine if your account qualifies for a credit line increase.
What to Do
Manage your account responsibly. Be sure to make payments on time. In general, customers that make larger payments are more likely to be eligible for a credit line increase.
6. You recently exceeded the credit limit on your account
What it Means
You recently went over the credit limit on one of your credit card. Generally, credit card companies don't approve credit line increase requests when one of a customer's accounts has recently been over the limit.
What to Do
Check over your account information often to be sure that you're not over your credit limit. Using the credit card companies' customized alerts to tell you when your getting close to the credit limit makes a lot of sense.
7. Your outstanding debt is too high compared to your income
What it Means
When credit card companies review requests for credit line increases, they look at income and expenses. Your housing expenses and outstanding overall debt, as reported by the credit bureaus, might be too high for your income. Generally, credit card companies don't approve credit line increase requests for customers that have high balances on revolving accounts.
What to Do
Pay down your credit card balances on all of your credit cards at or below 20% of your credit limits and if your employment status or income changes, be sure to contact your credit card company to update your information.
8. There are too many recent inquiries on your credit report
What it Means
According to the information reported by the credit bureaus, there have been numerous requests for new credit over the last 12 months.
What to Do
Keep in mind that when you make numerous applications for credit, it can lower your credit scores and affect how creditors evaluate credit line increase requests for your account. Be selective about how often you apply for credit. And if you don't recognize any inquiries reporting to your credit reports, contact the three bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and Transunion to resolve the issues or hire a company to do so on your behalf.
9. Your current credit score is too low
What it Means
Based on the information reporting in your credit reports, your current credit score is too low to qualify for a credit line increase.
What to Do
– Pay your bills on time
– Keep your utilization rate at or below 20%
– Don't close old accounts
– Establish a good mix of credit
– Limit your inquiries
– Get proactive and leverage consumer protection laws like the FCRA to remove derogatory information from your credit report or hire a credit repair agency like CreditFirm.Net to do so on your behalf.

Living With Bad Credit
July 16, 2014 by Credit Firm.net
Filed under Blogs, Credit Score
by: Michael Creditfirm.
Your credit is one of the most important determining factors which directly contributes to your quality of life. So it makes sense that a bad credit score can wreak havoc and cause an undue burden on just about every consumer.
Here are 6 ways bad credit can affect your life:
1. Struggles Getting a Loan
If you have goals such as being a home owner, having your own car or paying for children's college tuition, you will need money to do so and if you cannot afford to pay cash, you will need to apply for a loan. And in order to get approved for the loan, you will need to have a good credit score.
Unfortunately, most consumers with bad credit continue the downward spiral and never know the feeling of being a home owner or having a brand new car. This is why it is so important to stop the cycle of bad credit and improve your life by fixing your credit.
2. Increased Interest Rates
Consumers with good credit qualify for the top tier interest rates on everything from credit cards to mortgages to auto loans. If you have bad credit you will automatically have increased interest rates on these things which in turn elevate your monthly payments and end up costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars more than if you had good credit.
3. Difficulty in Renting
When it comes to renting, credit plays a crucial part in determining whether you will are approved for an apartment, as well as the size of the security deposit which will be required. Consumers with bad credit are often asked to put down 2-3 months worth of rent as a security deposit while those with good credit often times have their security deposits waived. This is why it is so important that you get your credit up to par before looking for an apartment.
4. Increased Utility Costs
Just like landlords, utility companies often times require a security deposit from consumers with bad credit. When considering that services such as telephone, gas, cable, internet, and electricity will all need deposits of $50 to $500 each to activate; the cost of bad credit quickly escalates.
5. Higher Insurance Premiums
Insurance agencies all differ from one another, but insurance underwriters determine your insurance premiums in pretty much the same way. No surprise here but your credit score is a very important part of that. An individual with a poor credit score can pay double the amount on car insurance as an individual with the exact same driver profile with excellent credit standing.
6. Difficulty finding a Job
When applying for a job, most employers will review an applicant's credit reports prior to hiring them. It is believed that bad credit is a sign of irresponsibility and a lack of financial competency. Some even go so far as saying that applicants with bad credit are more likely to steal than those with good credit.
That's why it is so important to put your best foot forward by making sure that your credit is at its' absolute best so that you can maximize your earning potential and get the highest paying job that you can get.

3 Financially Responsible Things… That Will Ruin Your Credit Score
May 28, 2014 by Credit Firm.net
Filed under Blogs, Credit Score
by: Michael Creditfirm.
There's a lot of advice on the internet about managing your finances and credit, some useful, and some that is completely wrong. You see, doing something that most consider financially responsible isn't always going to benefit your credit and in some cases will actually hurt your credit scores.
So lets take a look at 3 common "financially responsible" tips that actually hurt your credit.
1. Asking for a lower credit limit
If you have trouble controlling yourself around a credit card, lowering your credit limit can hedge the amount of debt that you can accumulate and protect you from yourself.
But, considering that 30% of your credit score is calculated from your credit utilization rate (the percentage of debt you owe in relation to your credit limit), lowering your limits will increase the utilization rate and lower your credit scores.
Try to show some restraint and not use up all of your available credit limit. Keep your credit card balances at or below 20% of the credit limits, and watch your scores increase.
2. Paying off an installment loan early
Paying off your mortgage or auto loans early may seem like a good way to improve your credit, but it's not.
I know this goes against logic, but stick with me here.
Paying off an installment loan early raises your utilization ratio. That's right, credit utilization is not just calculated from credit cards, but installment loans like auto loans and mortgages too.
For example, if you have a $20,000 auto loan with a $5,000 balance ($5,000/$20,000=25% utilization) that you pay off early, your available credit will drop by $15,000, the utilization rate will become N/A, and your score will drop. (The utilization rate only counts open and active accounts).
Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't pay off your debt early, you just need to consider the repercussions. Paying off your installment loans early can save you a lot of money in interest. But if you're trying to raise your credit score, it's a better idea to pay off your credit cards, which will still remain open, even with a $0 balance.
3. Opening a bunch of credit cards all at once
Our first two points lead us into our third. Some people think that the best way of lowering your credit card utilization rates (the balance to limit ratio), is by opening up as many credit cards as possible, in order to increase the amount of available credit.
And although it sounds good in theory, there is a major issue with this, every time you apply for credit, an inquiry is reported to your credit report. Too many inquiries and your credit score drops. How many is too many? Experts say that you should limit yourself to one inquiry every 6 months.
So don't apply for too much credit at once and lower your credit card utilization rate the old fashion way, pay down your credit cards.

What's Holding You Back From Perfect Credit?
April 30, 2014 by Credit Firm.net
Filed under Blogs, Credit Repair, Credit Score
by: Michael Creditfirm.
What's holding you back from a perfect 850 credit score?
Believe it or not, there are only a few main factors that are used to calculate your credit scores.
Based on these factors, and a credit scoring scale of 300-850, the top reasons why your credit score isn't higher is listed below, along with a few nuggets of advise on how to raise your credit scores.
The Top Four Reasons
1. Payment History
Your payment history accounts for 35% of your credit scores, and is the single most important factor used when calculating a credit score. Having red marks on your credit like late payments, collections, repossessions, etc…, lowers your credit score immensely.
What you can do
Pay your bills on time and fix your past mistakes. You can hire a credit repair agency to work on improving your payment history by leveraging consumer protection laws that clean up your credit reports. The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives you every opportunity to get your credit back in order, use the law to your advantage.
2. Credit Utilization Rate Is Too High
Your utilization rate is the percentage of credit that you owe (your balance) in relationship to your credit limit.
Example: Balance = $800 | Credit Limit = $1,000 | Utilization is ($800/$1,000) 80%
Lenders view a high utilization rate as a proven indicator of increased credit risk.
Pay down your credit card balances and decrease your utilization rate to 20% or less. This means that you should never spend more than 20% of your credit limit.
3. Your Credit History Is Too Short
Your average length of open credit accounts for approximately 15% of your credit score. This shows lenders your experience with credit and lenders prefer consumers with a long length of credit over ones with a short credit history.
Do not close old accounts, keep them active and open and they will increase your length of history. You should also limit opening new accounts because every new account decreases your average length of open credit. Be patient and your credit history will grow with time.
4. You have too many inquiries on your credit report.
Every time you apply for credit, a history of that application shows up on your credit report, this is known as an inquiry.
Inquiries are about 10% of your overall credit score and having too many of them drastically lowers your creditworthiness.
Your inquiries can lower your score a small amount, typically 10 to 20 points.
What you can do
Apply for credit only when you need it and try to limit yourself to a maximum of one inquiry every 6 months.
If you have too many inquiries reporting to your credit reports, a credit repair agency like CreditFirm.Net can challenge those inquiries and work on removing as many of them as possible.
Bottom Line:
Pay your bills on time, keep your balances low, don't apply for too much credit at once, don't close old accounts, and if your credit report has a few red marks, hire a professional credit repair agency like CreditFirm.Net to help you fix your credit.

How Divorce Impacts Your Credit
April 10, 2014 by Credit Firm.net
Filed under Blogs, Misc

Don't Neglect Your Credit During A Divorce
Although divorce procedures do not directly impact your credit, the indirect impact can quickly devastate your credit scores in no time at all.
Things such as child support, joint accounts, and joint liability all of a sudden enter the fold. And with extra responsibility, comes a greater risk of default.
But, have no fear, there are steps you can take to protect your credit during a divorce.
Get Your Credit Report
It is absolutely crucial that you are aware of every account that is reporting to your credit report. Joint account holders and co-borrowers have 100% liability in just about every case. Get a copy of your credit report from all 3 credit bureaus, have a seat and go through every open account in your credit file. Make a list, and give it to your attorney.
Divorce Decree
A divorce decree does not relieve your liability in any joint accounts which you incurred with your spouse. You are 100% liable and 100% responsible for ALL joint accounts even if the court decrees otherwise.
That's right, even if the court decrees that your spouse is 100% responsible for a certain debt, you are still liable to the creditor in case of default. A divorce decree does not nullify a signed debt obligation. Whether it's a credit card, auto loan, or mortgage, if your name is on the original contract, you ARE 100% liable for the debt. This means that if your spouse fails to make a payment or defaults on the loan, it will be reflected in your credit report. Plus, the credit grantor has a legal right to take legal action against both you and your spouse.
So what do you do to protect yourself?
- Close or separate all joint accounts. Talk to your ex-spouse, if possible. Go through all your debt and decide who should be responsible for each and every account. Call your creditors and ask them how to transfer your joint accounts to individual accounts. If your spouse decides to be less than cooperative, paying off the debt and closing the accounts may be your best bet.
- You may have to refinance your home to get one name off the mortgage, or you might need to sell your home and divide the proceeds. Even if your name is removed from the title or deed, if your name is on the mortgage, you are responsible for the loan.
- Continue to pay ALL bills on time.
- DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR RELATIVES who tell you to run up your spouses debt and stop paying the bills because it's the other person's problem. You have just as much liability in the accounts as your spouse, so you will be ruining both your credit scores, which you will need in order to start over.
Re-Establish Credit
If you were left with few to no open and active accounts after the divorce, you will need to begin to re-establish credit. A good way to start is by getting a credit card with a small credit limit. Pay your bills on time, keep you balance low, and your credit score will increase. If getting approved for a credit card becomes problematic, consider applying for a secured credit card in order to re-establish credit.
If Divorce left your Credit in Shambles
Consider hiring a credit repair service to help you move forward and get your life back together.

Organized by a woman-owned sex-toy shop in Toronto, Ontario and located in a church, the Feminist Porn Awards just might win the title of most ironic award competition, uh, ever—and maybe the most outrageously fun and sexy one too!
I'm a little ashamed to admit that I completely mindlessly accepted that, on Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel, the modeling industry would require size 2 female model Salome to lose some weight in the hips, but got all outraged when they told male model and former ballet dancer Sandhurst that his thighs were too big for him to model jeans. And that it seemed plausible to me that female model Fo on America's Next Top Model was probably too short at 5'8" to make it in the industry, but that it was completely ludicrous that Make Me A Supermodel's Colin is too tall at 6'3". I feel bad now about my double standards!

Coaches navigating new rules pertaining to mission-bound LDS athletes
WOODS CROSS — Sean Barton believes he was born to play football.
So it wasn't always easy to commit to leaving the game — and everything else familiar to him — to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints just a few days after graduating from Woods Cross High.
"I can't see myself living without (football) basically," said the 18-year-old linebacker and wide receiver, who will sign a letter of intent to play for Stanford on Wednesday. "Ever since I was a little kid, my dream was to play college football. That's just my love."
While he is not the first LDS athlete to struggle with that decision and wonder how it will impact his dream of playing sports, he does so in the wake of two changes that have changed how some college coaches view Mormon athletes who intend to serve missions.
The first change is the age at which members of the LDS Church may serve missions. For boys, the age was lowered from 19 to 18, and for girls, it was lowered from 21 to 19. The age changes, announced in the fall, have led to more Mormon young men choosing to serve missions because they can do so right out of high school.
Barton fits into that group. He turned 18 in November and will leave for Benin, West Africa (a French-speaking mission), four days after graduation.
So while he will sign a letter of intent to play for Stanford during Wednesday's national signing day, he will not enroll and will never attend classes before leaving on his mission.
Which is where the second rule — a rule change by the NCAA — affects some players like Barton. Last year, the NCAA reduced the number of scholarships schools can offer incoming freshman to 25.
The convergence of the two changes is reportedly causing some out-of-state college coaches to steer clear of LDS football players planning to serve missions.
"I think it's going to hurt our Utah kids who want to go out of state," said East head coach Brandon Matich.
He feels that way because when two out-of-state coaches visited his school a few weeks ago, they said they weren't interested in any LDS athletes who planned to serve missions.
"They said they didn't have a mission program in place," he said, referring to how schools juggle student-athletes who are gone for two years. One school was reportedly going to test the arrangement on a student-athlete this fall, but the other coach just asked to talk to non-LDS athletes.
Carl Barton, Sean's father, doesn't understand the reluctance of those coaches, especially those out west where most programs are accustomed to dealing with LDS missionary athletes.
"Without any intention of being critical of these coaches, but it seems like a stupid reaction to me," said Carl Barton. "Everything seems more predictable (with the age change)."
Instead of having players for a year, sometimes a year and a half, now most LDS athletes who want to serve missions will go directly to their missions, rather than first having a few semesters of college.
Matich said the new scholarship limits mean that his mission-bound players would sign a letter of acceptance, rather than the more binding letter of intent, which is usually the document signed when a scholarship is being given.
"It's more like a firm handshake is how it was explained to me," said Matich.
Carl Barton said he was told athletes could (and should) still sign letters of intent, but that the scholarship wouldn't count against a school's 25, if the student-athlete didn't enroll in school.
Either way, missionary athletes have to trust that the schools to which they commit will remain committed to them during their two-year hiatus from sports.

In recent years, several publications on microfluidic devices have focused on the process of electroporation, which results in the poration of the biological cell membrane. The devices involved are designed for cell analysis, transfection or pasteurization. The high electric field strengths needed are induced by placing the electrodes in close proximity or by creating a constriction between the electrodes, which focuses the electric field. Detection is usually achieved through fluorescent labeling or by measuring impedance. So far, most of these devices have only concerned themselves solely with the electroporation process, but integration with separation and detection processes is expected in the near future. In particular, single-cell content analysis is expected to add further value to the concept of the microfluidic chip. Furthermore, if advanced pulse schemes are employed, such microdevices can also enhance research into intracellular electroporation.

Turkey's EU Minister denies corruption charges
December 21, 2013 - 12:27 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's EU Minister Egemen Bağış has become the first minister to issue a public statement on his involvement as a suspect in the massive corruption probe, strongly refuting the charges and denouncing efforts to "build a parallel state within the state."
"In recent days, in print and visual media and on the Internet, a series of news stories and comments regarding the ongoing investigation in Istanbul have been published. Accusatory and slanderous assessment were made about me," Bağış said in a written statement issued on Thursday, Dec 20 evening, according to Hurriyet Daily News.
"Irresponsible reporting being made is completely based on misleading and speculative information. These scenarios are being deliberately produced and are completely false … and are part of an outrageous conspiracy," he added.
The sons of three members of the Cabinet – Interior Minister Muammer Güler, Economy Minister Zafer Çağlayan and Environment and Urban Planning Minister Erdoğan Bayraktar - have been detained as part of the investigation.
Bağış's name is also being cited in news reports as being involved in a large bribery scandal, including allegations that he facilitated the issuing of Turkish citizenship and passports for gang members.
"Those who have been instrumental in smear campaigns of organizations, and gangs that have been exerting efforts to build a parallel state within the state, have become evident in terms of both execution without trial and assassination of personality," Bağış said when describing those supposedly behind the operation targeting the government.
The term "parallel state" is commonly used by critics of the followers of the U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, many of whom have been employed in the judicial and security bureaucracy.
Bağış said he initiated legal processes against those who "reflect nonsense, and who claim to have found evidence for these denigrations in a way that would lead to a judgment [of me]."

Fortifications and Minceta tower : Michelin's recommendations
Attacks by land were the hardest to withstand, hence the thickness of the walls here. To bolster the defences, a fore-wall and defensive moat were built. The most interesting views of the walled town can be enjoyed from here, with the chequered streets of the Baroque quarter in the foreground. The centrepiece is the enormous Minceta tower (14C-15C) with its battlements and machicolations. Its terrace is the highest point on the ramparts, affording a unique panoramic view of the town.

Border to Border Broadband: No Community Left Behind

We just use SIMS as a remote app so it looks like it's just an app on the machine pretty much.
Hi all,
Just looked around another school and they are using Remote Desktop Services. This was apparently setup because of the age of the machines and them struggling to even watch videos.
It would seem on the local machines have on them office and the SMART Board software. All else is done through the RDS.
Theres a lot of issues in the school and from the meeting i had they are keen to get things put right and seem to be willing to spend out where needed.
When I do anything I always try and make it as simple as possible for everyone. In my current school we don't use RDS as we have a good rolling computer plan so equipment doesn't get to this state.
From watching someone use the computer they have to go through logging in locally and then opening up Remote Desktop and connecting to a different server depending on what they want to do, this leaves them with two or more desktops open. This to me seems complicated for new users and I know some staff that I've managed to get using a computer in my current school wouldn't cope with that.
If you use RDS, how do you use it? How do you keep things simple?
If you use it only because of dated software, would you scrap it if you could get the cash for new machines?
I understand the reasons it was put in but wouldn't choose it at the moment.
We just use SIMS as a remote app so it looks like it's just an app on the machine pretty much.
We use RDS for a number of Axel thin clients in offices, etc, but we also use it with some if our more ancient laptops (Dell Latitdue 120L - a good 8 years old now. Used to take an age to boot in to windows and log in, so we now have a stripped down Ubuntu installed which gives filtered Internet access or an RDS session depending on the need. They boot in 20 seconds and log in in 7. The difference is astronomical and we expect to use this with further laptops as they approach the cliff where a full Windows 7 install becomes pointless.
That sounds like a good plan for older machines Jonah.
How do staff, especially technophobia staff get on with ubuntu and then understanding and using Remote Desktop?
Last edited by dany2010; 4th March 2014 at 08:56 PM.
There's not much to it. We have two icons on the Ubuntu desktop, Firefox and the RDP client. All the games etc have been removed.
If they just need Internet access for research, etc, they launch Firefox. Anything else they launch the RDP client.
we run RDS for internal thin clients and remote access.
I see lots of schools get into tinkering with rds using old pcs, I tend to think this is a mistake as you still get all the hassle of old dying machines and users don't tend to see the advantage if the performance is not great - cot as well as using old desktops the it guys whip up some old\used\under spec server to give it a try with.
We have about 100 thin clients, when I started I inherited a system and I hated it, but the server backend was under powered and the school used clunky old desktops as clients - I didn't see the benefit and people avoided them if they could. It was like putting in desktops "for effect" so the room didn't look empty...
After we sussed out how it worked we improved the RDS server resources and invested in some proper thin client units - n-computing boxes, we are finishing a replacement of all old desktop thin clients this year with n computing units. we install software for them on to the rds servers, setup round robin connections on the clients, they boot in seconds, connect directly to the logon screen of the server ready for users to logon via a admin "connection" ad account and the servers provide a "near enough" user experience to windows 7. But it is compromise - no its not exactly the same as win 7 desktop - no aero for one, no its not as good as our it suite machines with i3 cpu, 4gb ram and ssd drives, no its no shiny and cool VDI etc, but it gives us 100 desktops for student use in the library and drop in rooms and for desktops for staff with low usage requirements - reception, site management team etc for a lower cost than fat desktop or VDI and it is easy to manage and generally works pretty well.
We run 2 x hp servers, gen 6 series so not that wizzy, loads of ram, sas disks, quad nics and we run 8\10 vms on each server in hyperv and manually load balance desktops across these servers, if a physical server failed we would need to reboot the thin clients and they will round robin through a list of machines and connect to a available rds server, we use loop back gpo etc, there's no central management as such, we can connect to all thin clients from any of the rds servers with the n computing software installed to do any client config, firmware updates, tweaking etc.
We can do remote support to the sessions on them if required. To be honest I am pretty happy with it, just a pain we have to migrate to new hardware this year as the warranty is up on the gen 6 servers, still I am looking forward to trying hyper v 2012 on the new boxes and I believe its still a cheaper system than vdi - which still confuses the heck out of me most days to be honest. What we have works, is simple and two of us understand it all in house - so that's all good in my book
we looked at various VDI options last year and the school thought performance was good enough when compared to the costs of VDI and decided to stick with using the RDS servers for now.
my 2 cents
Thanks jbailey.
Sound like your original thoughts is the same as mine at the minute. Where everything is old people just don't like it.
They have had to redo the system three times apparently because they are using old servers and its just overloaded.
Looks like you use session Host with the aero tick box checked rather than virtualisation host and having mountains of virtual win 7 machines. is that correct?
I think it If I got the job there I would get a demo of what a system could actually do. I see dell were doing lots of thin client stuff at Bett.
It defiantly has its advantages but would be concerned about things like the smart board software, and if it could actually be used for all classrooms especially in IT. I notice you say you havnt moved these over.
Out of interest and off topic, what do you do with your old servers?
Last edited by dany2010; 4th March 2014 at 10:44 PM.
yes, Remote Desktop Session Host Virtualization or whatever it is called this month :0
Re old servers, depends really we have used some as backup data\storage machines, sandbox vm hosts for testing, some techs have taken boxes home for test rigs, have used some as emergency "fail over" servers for junior schools we support, but when they are totally past it we pull the drives and recycle them with this company: PRM Green Technologies
and the really the ones with wheels we keep for corridor racing in the summer of course...

Obama's Katrina…and Ours
"This isn't theatre…it's a problem," mealymouths Pres Obama who has oodles of time to play pool, drink beer, fund raise and slap politicians on the back but refuses to put his body on the line, in solidarity with the children and their local caregivers, and let us see him in the immigration border states.
He finds in his heart to angrily denounce Central American parents, "Don't send your children to the border…they'll get sent back." But he's too austere, detached, ill-advised and just plain nonchalant to go down there and spend time with the problem kids we helped create.
Obama – and we – seem to have forgotten our history. Dismiss our military and political interventions to protect American business interests in the 1910s and 20s. Don't worry about Cuba or Haiti. In our lifetime the U.S. backed the Salvadorean military killers, and under Obama's "war on drugs" has sharply increased military aid to the worst killers below the Rio Grande. Millions funneled to the Guatamalan military who, ever since the CIA engineered the 1954 coup against the democratically elected reform president Arbenz, have become addicted to a habit of expunging civilian officials. Under a "military assistance pact", the State Department gives weapons to the murder state of Honduras, the original banana republic, whose farm exports are monopolized by two American companies, Dole and Chiquita (formerly United Fruit).
Probably more than gang violence a pivotal reason for the outflow is the US-sponsored North American and Central American (so called) Free Trade Agreements that, among many other devastations, has forced rural families off their lands when, for example, we dump cheap American corn on the market.
Obama is wrong that the border isn't theatre. The crisis is human drama at its most extreme. He is missing not only the show but the point.
Since he is so in the wrong why hasn't his liberal base – that's us – climbed all over him to make him do the right thing?
Obama is able to get away with his untheatrical cold-heartedness because we let him.
