Folks, our country is in big trouble. What kind of man do we have in the White House? President Obama is a Harvard-educated lawyer. Thus, since he attended such a renowned school, I can only conclude that Obama willfully and knowingly distorted/lied about the plight of Hispanic-Americans in Arizona and the state's immigration law when he said, "...but now suddenly if you don't have your papers, and you took your kid out to get ice cream, you're gonna be harassed, ..."

Obama's statement simply is not true. The Arizona law goes into effect only after a subject has or is suspected of committing a crime. So, if a Hispanic person does not rob the ice cream shop, it is safe to say he and his child can enjoy their ice cream in peace.

And yet, our characterless president and the liberal mainstream media in solidarity with those who boldly and arrogantly break our laws are shamefully promoting lies about the Arizona immigration law. Why? To recruit future Democrat voters.

Obama and the liberal mainstream media apparently couldn't care less about the national racial tension and violence fueled by their irresponsible distortion of the Arizona law. This is the Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley Hoax all over again. Only this time, it is the President of the United States spreading lies and fueling the flames of racial hatred.

As I have stated on numerous occasions regarding other national issues, it is always all about Obama. His political agenda and him "looking good" trump national race relations and even the best interests of our country. Again, I say, dear Lord, what kind of man do we have in the White House?

As a black patriot of the Tea Party Movement, the liberal mainstream media practically strapped me down and waterboarded me, attempting to force me to confess seeing racist signs, which I never saw, at tea party rallies. Meanwhile, they are completely blind and silent about the outrageous, hate-filled, racist, traitorous, and violent signs on display at the anti-Arizona immigration law rallies.

Recently, the word of the month from Obama flacks in the liberal mainstream media was "sedition," which Webster defines as "the stirring up of discontent, resistance, or rebellion against the government in power." Obama's homeys in the media were aggressively attempting to make the "S"-word stick to tea party patriots, conservative commentators, and anyone who opposed Obama's agenda.

I am also struck by the breathtaking arrogance and entitlement mindset of the anti-Arizona immigration law protesters. The liberal mainstream media portrays illegal immigrants as humble peasants who are seeking a better life while hiding in the shadows, while in reality, those attending the rallies were angry, demanding, and some were even violent. Their attitude is "in your face, America! Yes, we are here illegally, and you had better give us what we want!"

Who do they think they are? What has inspired them to boldly ignore our laws? I submit that these illegals and their liberal supporters are emboldened by the usual suspects: the liberal mainstream media, the Democrats, and, outrageously, the President of the United States.

Obama received 96% of the black vote. A large percentage of those black voters were the product of decades of indoctrination by the liberal mainstream media and Democrats: America is racist, out to oppress you, and owes you. Now Democrats are employing their same tried-and-true tactics on illegals to birth a new crop of victim- and entitlement-minded Democrat voters.

These new potential Democrat voters already believe that America sucks. Notice the small number of American flags at their rallies verses the sea of U.S. flags at the tea parties. Many hate capitalism and are not interested in learning English. There is a huge difference between wanting to be an American and using America.

In New York harbor stands a lady with her arm raised to the sky. As ambassador for the American people, she warmly embraces all who legally seek to join our great national family.

Despite traitorous lies from an enemy within, race, color, and creed are irrelevant. All we require for the privilege and honor of becoming an American is a respect for our laws and a desire to contribute to this extraordinary experiment called America, the greatest nation on the planet. To all who feel this way, we say, "Welcome home!"

RD, I've yet to see you raise a problem with this particular law that is actually valid or unique to this particular law.

You know how conservatives often point out (quite rightly) that the most prejudiced and race/gender-obsessed people are actually the ones who spend their lives decrying racism/sexism? That's what conservatives are like with regards to partisanship these days. They seem honestly incapable of believing anyone could actually just disagree with them on the substance. Any and all criticism of their positions is automatically dismissed as mere partisanship. /headshake

Handy way of never having to re-examine their own beliefs, I guess.

This. Your fan boy attitude toward the Community Organizer is astounding.

...I've repeatedly expressed reservations about him going too far on domestic policy and being too secretive and authoritarian when it comes to criminal due process and judicial checks on Executive power.

Rodahn:

That's a truly spurious misuse of a source, seeing as how there's no indication of self-referential use in your Wikipedia link.

]As for the race card? No one gives a **** that he's black: he's just a bad President. His policies are bad; his policies are hurting the country; his policies are going to make the last 3 years look like a **** walk in the economic park.

Do you know what happens when Greece's Austerity plan fails? Spain collapses, then Germany, then Austria, then the United Kingdom, then the United States tailspins into another long L-Shaped Recession. Except, we're still in a Depression; unemployment is still out of hand; and domestic manufacturing is all fabricated. The guy in the White House, since he wants to assume credit for EVERYTHING, is a **** moron. FDR was wrong. And the Left doesn't **** get it. Nothing's coming up roses and any defense of Obama after his Administration INTENTIONALLY suppressed information concerning the Healthcare Reform Act from legislators and the public is ABSOLUTELY inexcusable.

Bush was a shitty President, but when it comes to outright LYING to the people: Iraq has nothing on the manipulation of information concerning the HCRA.

P.S. I seriously wish he was White, though, so people would stop saying: "It's just racism." No, no, it's not. Barack Obama is a policy **** that will leave the United States a festering 3rd world **** hole.

By FRD being wrong, I assume you are talking about Alphabet Soup and all of the Public Works policies he enacted? If so, I think some public works projects (if managed correctly) would be a good way to create jobs. I personally would love to see a Euro-inspired mass transit system introduced to the US. Construction alone would open up a ton of jobs, as would maintenance, staffing and engineering once completed.
