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.
