Update: Screw Ortiz. Adam sends this link with this info, although it's from journalists so you can't trust it:
Ortiz downplayed the moment at Fenway Park, going so far as to deny becoming a citizen when asked about the ceremony before the game.
Manager Terry Francona was among those kept in the dark.
"Is that why he had a sport coat on?" Francona said. "I didn't know."
I don't doubt the veracity. He must have done it for taxation and convenience reasons. Like I said, screw him. I will quote Obama and say that the man is "typical".
Now back to the original post:
Takes the oath and is now an American.
Also at Powerline this fantastic Sowell quote:
"Perhaps even more important, do the media even care whether Senator Obama knows what he is talking about? Or is the symbolism of "the first black President" paramount, even if that means a President with cocky ignorance at a time of national danger?"

For the last time, He's not black, he's a 1/2 breed!
So Immigrants are more than welcome if they can hit?
Immigrants are absolutely more welcome if they can perform. Reference nazis and rocketry. I understand the an enormous percentage of the southerners swamping us are illiterate IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE!
They are not "rocket scientists".
One of their supposed benefits to us is the fact that they perform "unskilled" labor.
Baseball at that level takes skill, at least. If he is not genuinely grateful then he is as stupid as the prejudicially disposed would assume.
I have updated the post and think that Ortiz is, in the words of Obama, a typical recent immigrant.
