8. Obligatory....
considering you ain't got shit to spread but your standard negativity,
why bother?
I mean, really.....we wouldn't miss you, if you
chose to be brave and courageous and just post on
threads where you can constructively comment without looking
like an ol' bitter petty-annie. :eyes:

6. He is tackling Immigration at a time when the Republicans have the House.
and so, the only way that immigration can be achieved is IF
Republicans and Democrats agree on reform.

Using what Murdoch said as an example of how, even those who hate
Obama and just about all of his policies, still find room for agreement
on this particular issue, means that even if Republicans hate everything Obama supports,
this shouldn't be one of those issues.

He also stressed that he needs those who support reform to get a movement going on this....
cause h can't do all of this shit all on his own.
And that's true on just about all policies that we want enacted....
The President needs us to show up in the street, at town halls, etc...
He needs the voice of the people, or else the microphones of the GOP ran media
will make sure that we don't get shit.

Of course, the Republican will oppose strongly what Obama proposes on
immigration reform, meaning that only changing the House from "R" to "D",
will there be any hope for immigration. Hopefully Voters will get that.

This bridge building is not an easy task though, I do feel for him, especially
knowing how they despise him.

10. He didn't praise him.
Did you actually hear what he was saying? And the point he was making

15. He said even Rupert Murdoch agrees with him
and HE does not have an Obama bumper stickers at the back of his car.

Just hearing him calling his name gets me mad.

18. That is NOT praise. It sounds like you think it's praise just because
hearing Obama say his NAME gets you mad. That must've clouded your view of you seeing it as "praise."

17. I thought it a good political speech on policy.
I thought it was great when he listed his admin's efforts on immigration issues because "the press is not reporting on it." That's for damn sure. I need to be convinced on the part about penalties undocumented immigrants will be forced to pay (back taxes, fines, etc.) and mandating learning to speech English (is that constitutional ?) when their life is wrought with poverty. I think it's too harsh. But he's advocating for the Dream Act eloquently.
