The use in Luke has a different context:

He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher."

The Katha Upanishad says it best using today's updating: Abiding in the midst of ignorance, thinking themselves wise and learned, Obama, television anchors, radio personalities and a Latino actress, all fools, go hither and thither, like blind led by the blind."

Obama assembles all-star cast to talk immigration

The only one above I respect is Maria Elena Salinas who has depth rather than the superficial Longoria.

Participants said Obama stressed his determination to change immigration laws, but they said when pressed to do something about the record 393,000 undocumented immigrants forced to leave the country last year, Obama indicated without congressional action his hands were tied. An obvious lie as detailed in Obama Plays Shell Game with Hispanic Deportations.

“The president and his administration told us that there are certain things that he cannot and will not do unilaterally,’’ Diaz-Balart said.

Speaking to reporters, Longoria said: "We like to blame Obama for the inaction, but he can't just disobey the law that's written."

Alfonso Aguilar, the executive director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, said the meeting with actresses Eva Longoria, Rosario Dawson and others was “outrageous and insulting.” He added Obama’s increased visibility is just for show.

“These are all theatrics to give the impression to Hispanic voters the president is doing something on immigration when we all know he hasn’t done anything,” said Aguilar.

With his immigration overhaul stalled, President Obama instead of enlisting congressional representatives who are well versed in deportation data such as Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez, enlisted Latino entertainment and media stars to help jump-start legislation and reassure crucial but restless Hispanic voters he has not abandoned his campaign pledge to change the law.
 

What should be an embarrassment to all Hispanics is to have Eva Longoria, an actress, defend Obama with “We like to blame Obama for the inaction, but he can’t just disobey the law that’s written.’’

Obviously, Longoria doesn't have a clue, Obama in his first year in office directed Janet Napolitano's ICE to deport 387,790 immigrants — far more than during George W. Bush's last year in office. If the trend line Bush’s enforcement structure set in motion continues, Napolitano is on pace to deport around half a million people a year by 2013.

Worse still, in their zeal to demonstrate toughness, Janet Napolitano's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its enforcement partners have dragged many law-abiding undocumented immigrants and legitimate businesses into the system, shattering Obama’s promises of more humane treatment.

Napolitano has set controversial new quotas for agents. At the same time, officials have stepped back from an Obama/Napolitano commitment to focus enforcement efforts primarily on undocumented immigrants who are dangerous or have violent criminal backgrounds. Now, any one with a brown face is suspect!

Obama’s political advisers see tremendous potential in a growing Latino electorate. But Obama, who won 67 percent of the Latino vote in 2008, faces a disenchanted Latino community angry over a rise in deportations and an impasse on revamping immigration laws and fearful of tough state immigration laws such as those in Arizona.

In a summary describing the meeting, the White House said Obama stressed his commitment to a comprehensive overhaul and pledged to intensify his efforts "to lead a civil debate on this issue in the coming weeks and months."

But immigration legislation that would have provided a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants stalled even when Democrats controlled both  chambers of congress in 2009 and 2010. Immigration Reform ts much more remote now that Republicans control the House.

Obama also voiced disappointment in Congress' failure to pass legislation that would have provided a path to legal status for law-abiding young people brought to the United States as children who either plan to attend college or join the military. He asked the Latino media and entertainment figures to use their influence to help "elevate the debate."

Participants said Obama was pressed to do something about the record 393,000 undocumented immigrants forced to leave the country last year, but Obama indicated without congressional action his hands were tied.

The session comes a week after Obama invited about 70 elected officials and religious, law enforcement, business, labor, and civil rights figures to help build support for a long-stalled overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws.

The flurry of immigration activity at the White House illustrates both the desire by Obama and his advisers to show engagement on the issue and halt the slide in Hispanic support but unless Obama dramatically lessens deportations, Hispanic support for Obama in 2012 will only continue to decrease. ,And without Hispanic support, Obama will not win re-election in 2012.

Obama political advisers believe Latino voters if they participated in the 2012 election could reconfigure the political landscape shoring up support in swing states such as Colorado, Nevada, Virginia and North Carolina and providing a stronger foothold in states John McCain won in 2008 but that have grown more Hispanic in recent years, such as Arizona, Georgia and Texas.

"We've got a lot more work to do to fix an immigration system that's broken," Obama told donors in New York City on Wednesday evening.

"The Democrats at this point are losing an incredible opportunity," said Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum and a participant in last week's White House meeting. "You have a Democratic administration deporting more people than ever.'"
