    Obama has done just as much or more on immigration as any recent POTUS.

    Are gun laws really a lot stricter now than when Obama came into office? I really have no idea myself so that's why I'm asking but there was a lot of chicken littles posting about Obama taking their guns.

    How is spending money in one country and not another a left thing?



    Still don't see how you get "Right now with this administration we are heading this country so far left" after Obama extended the Bush tax cuts, has kept GITMO open, deported record number of illegals, extended the Patriot Act, kept both wars going and even started his own little war in Lybia just to mention a few of the not so left things he's done.
    Cap and trade may be dead s. But the only reason it is, is because republicans fought it tooth and nail to kill it.Obama was willing to let the Bush tax cuts expire but the republicans again stood their ground and would not sign the budget until they were included in it. Everything Obama has done on immigration is eye wash. He hopes to have an amnesty plan to allow 13 million illegal immigrants to vote in the next election. If he succeeds then he's a shoe in. If he really wanted to cut the budget he would enforce immigration laws and tighten security at border. Then stop the flow of cash across the border into Mexico. This would cause many illegals to leave. The drain on our school systems and healthcare facilities would diminish. He should stop social security payments to illegals that haven't paid a dime into it. Stop college scholarships for illegal immigrants and stop federal aid to sanctuary cities.Operation fast and furious was preparation to gain political support for stricter gun laws. Watch for him to tighten gun laws soon. Spending money that we don't have is stupid. The country is all ready fighting two wars and has a huge deficit. Why go into Libya? To get us deeper in debt? He can't justify it because the same thing is happening in Syria and he didn't go in there. Don't tell me that the budget crisis is not his fault. He spent 3 trillion dollars since he has been in office and we still have a 9% unemployment rate. He jokes about his shovel ready projects while people are out of work.

    This was your quote "Right now with this administration we are heading this country so far left that democracy is doomed to fail" and I pointed out many examples of Bush's policies that Obama has kept in place for whatever reason and you still think we are headed that way.


    "Eye wash", okay I guess deporting record numbers of illegals is eye wash and every recent POTUS was doing all they could to stop illegals from getting in and mooching off the system.

    And where did you hear about this amnesty plan?

    Also again with the stricter gun laws that I've head about before he was even elected.

    Already asked this once but how is invading Lybia a left idea?

    Tell me that the budget crisis is all his fault.

    I'm not saying that previous administrations don't bear some responsibility but this one is throwing gas on the fire with its policies.nThe "Dream Act" is one form of amnesty that this administration is pushing and Obama recently at a meeting with la Raza said that he will push for immigration reform in the for of an amnesty. The stricter gun laws have already started in the border states. Having forces in Libya is just another tool to weaken our economy. he wants to destroy this government and form a socialist one. Recent free healthcare for women will cause health insurance to skyrocket.

    I'll tell ya....if destroying this country isn't on his personal secret agenda, then he sure has a funny way of showing us different.

    Prove us wrong Nobama...Please prove us wrong...

    In a earlier post you mentioned that Obama had a amnesty plan to allow 13 million illegals to vote, is this part of what you think is in the Dream Act or is the 13 million figure from some other amnesty plan?


    Just curious because the Dream Act would only allow amnesty for illegals between certain ages and would be tied to them meeting educational or military requirments and that would not even come close to giving amnesty to 13 million illegals if thats what your talking about. From what I've read the Dream Act would give amnesty to as many as 1.1 million illegals only. Also I think there is/was a rule in the bill that it does not grant legal immigrant status to anyone for at least two 2 years.



    So you think Obama started the war in Lybia to futher weaken the economy so he can "destroy this government and form a socialist one"? Really????? Sorry but I'm filling this one away with the Truthers and Birthers theories.

    I never mentioned the number 13 million for one. Two , the legal hard working taxpayer would foot the bill for those illegals to attend college. Three, the law says that they must attend college not graduate. Four Obama didn't start the war in Libya, the rebels did and Obama just thought we would join in and waste a few billion dollars that we can't afford. Read the newspapers, the economy is failing while your precious Obama is charging 38,500 dollars a plate to eat birthday cake and millions of people are looking for work.
    "Obama has made it clear: the only job he cares about is his own. Unemployment stands at 9.2%. The highest sustained unemployment that our country has seen since the Carter Administration. The growing unemployment numbers are a direct result of Obama's failed leadership and botched policies."(Michele Bachman)

    Direct quote from you in post #46 in this thread "He hopes to have an amnesty plan to allow 13 million illegal immigrants to vote in the next election. If he succeeds then he's a shoe in."

    Now whether you were misinformed or just throwing out some big number as red meat for the board pubs to eat up I have no idea but that is why I asked if the 13 million illegals that you claimed could get to vote was a result from the Dream Act or some other amnesty plan I hadn't heard about.


    "precious Obama" with this you would think I was actually defending his policies to the bitter end in this thread but if you go back and read through it I haven't.


    Oh no Obama had a birthday and a birthday party, seriously this is just more red meat to make it sound like he really just dosen't care about the people who are out of work.


    I don't know exactaly what time frame Michele Bachman is counting from for her sustained comment but if you look at unemployment rates from Apr. 1982 thru Sept. 1983 you won't find a rate lower than 9.2% and 10 out of 18 months over 10% so I guess she just decide to skip that time frame since Reagan was POTUS but of course that was all Carters fault, never mind I forgot that a previous administration can't be blamed for problems.

    Re: A novel idea

    Obama and the Dems want blanket amnesty for the estimated 13 million illegals in the U.S. . The Dream Act is just a start. No matter what the number, who do you think they will vote for? Common sense will tell you that it would be for the party that gave them the right to vote. Obama and the Dems want card check. Why? Because unions support the Dems and it would make it easier to form unions and unions support the Dems by donating money made from union dues to the party. People don't really care about the exact percent of unemployed people because it doesn't count the unemployed that have run out of benefits or those that stopped looking for work. What they do care about is putting food on the table, protecting their families, and staying healthy. This is hard to do when so many people are out of work and losing that pay check, and healthcare benefits. Some people become desperate and the crime rate goes up because a man needs to feed his family. These people see that Michele Obama spent $1800.00 for room service in a hotel for a 3 day stay and Obama's pals spending close to $40,000.00 to eat cake with him. He didn't do anything during this last budget ceiling debate. He didn't even have a plan. This makes people angry. Millions of people were waiting for his "shovel ready projects" so they could have a chance to get back on their feet again, and when they failed he made jokes about it. When Bush wanted to raise the debt ceiling he voted no and said that Bush showed a lack of leadership. He has not shown any leadership since he has been in office. He has ruined our economy with his reckless spending, pitted the Federal Government against the States and made our country the laughing stock of the world. Jimmy Carter is loving Obama right now because he's no longer the worst president we ever had. Our government will be in gridlock for the rest of his term because he has not shown any competence in his job and the republicans won't let him have the keys to the car that was in the ditch because he just drove it in deeper. In 2012 a republican president with a wrecker will pull the car out without further damage to it.

    Well at least were back to you throwing out the number 13 million again. I'm done with the specutlive amnesty talk, so I guess we can rejoin it at a later date when it actually happens.

    You know both parties has support from certain groups and they do things to keep them happy. Sadly it's just the way things are and part of the game.

    I know you pubs like to throw out the 14 trillion dollar debt number and while it is a staggering number have you ever took the time to actually look and see the debt % increase of past POTUS and compare them to Obama?

    Know who said this "Reagan proved deficits don't matter"? **** Cheney

    Again I'm not defending policies or the way Obama has handled things just throwing out different ways to look at things.

    Judging from this was comment from you I'd say you're a democrat by choice, perhaps even a union worker??????? I don't know...all I'm saying is this is what you present yourself as being...nothing wrong with it at all, just sayin'....

    People in general, men, women, blacks, whites, mexicans, chinese, democrat and republican....EVERYONE needs to take their blind fold off and realize that Obama truly is the worst thing to happen to the United States ever.

    1. All politicians past and present are responsible for the shape the United States is in today.
    3. Yes, it's true....Jimmy Carter really is loving Obama right now. Carter is now out of the hot seat of being the worst president in history.

    When the new 2012 president pulls the car out of the ditch he better do it gently, handle it with care and show it lots of love and attention....because it's just about broke down and beyond repair almost.

    You sure read a lot into a reply I made where I pointed out some actual facts that maybe you don't believe or choose not to, no sweat off my back you can look it up yourself.

    I have left leaning ideas for the most part but I've voted for a few Pubs through the years, even voted for W. once. Never been a union member but have no problem with them for the most part.

    I'll glady return the blinfold I borrowed from the W. defenders when the time comes.


    Good luck in 2012.

    I wish he, many of his adminstration and select Liberal citizens would actually put some of the blame on this Potus. I don't remember hearing them take any?? I don't remember the once Dem Controlled Congress taking any blame either.
    Admitting they were wrong isn't gonna fix it but it would sure go a long way in learning from their mistakes...instead they blame eachother.
