Da Noid,

The USA has detained a lot of people with out due process. In our federal prison system we have Cubans that never had a day in court, look up Talladega federal riot in 1991, Atlanta riot 1985, and they were detain by both parties, but mostly by Jimmy Carter's presidency in 1980. There are other examples.

The people in Guantanamo, were not detain on US soil by civil police, which means the US does not have to give them due process. The military laws does not follow civil laws, which means that all the US has to do is follow Geneva convention, which gives the US a free hand since they where not uniformed soldiers of the government.

@ Da noid,

President Obama has had 3 1/2 years to correct the situation in Gitmo and to release the detainees. Why hasn't he done so?

Must have been the correct course of action......

I wish this reporter would try that in Cuba.

The President is refusing to enforce the laws for which he as the Chief Executive was elected.

I don't agree with the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) - but it is the law of the land and should be enforced (until the Supreme Court dismantles it which I do expect will be done in relatively short order). Same thing with the PPACA. He's hell bent to make sure that that gets administrative cycles in enforcement (same deal here - even though the Supreme Court very well may dismantle it).

He has no right (please read that as NO RIGHT to ignore the law of the land). If he doesn't like it, then it's up to him - and Congress - to enact meaningful reform to immigration laws.

But to ignore it...

How would he feel if we chose to ignore the IRS's request that we pay our taxes? We'd be hauled off to the pokey. He has NO RIGHT to ignore the law of the land.

I'm a Democrat - and I'm mad as he77. I'm all for trying to secure four more years - but not at the expense of what's legal or right. That's a Republican move and shame on us for trying the same tactics. As a party, we cried, whined and boo-hooed (rightfully so) when George Bush committed our troops in Iraq without previously asking Congress to do their duty and declare war first - we were incensed at this "strong arming" by the Executive Branch...

then we go and pull some numbskulled trick like this.

Shame on us.

The President just lost my vote. He can rest assured though, Mitt Romney won't be getting it either.

you went to confeferate states constitutional law maybe..it shows.

No mystery here. The president is simply buying mexican votes. You notice that he never answered the question. Why help illegals to get a job instead of americans?

Well downtown I didn't know it was a question and answer session. Its simple lack of respect interupting the presidents speech. I guess you lack basic decency too.

Here's another situation, since your parent didn't raise you properly. When two adults are conversing and you are not part of that conversation you wait, especially if you are child (or in your case child like)

Tucker and you can go against the president all you want but show respect for the adult speaking until finished. BTW, if Tucker wasn't on the list he wouldn't be there. Maybe that's to advanced of a fact for you to consider. I blame your parents for your lack of understanding. However, since you're the party of personal reponsibilty just admit you lack proper social skills. Obviously.

This is the kind of attitude about other countries and disrespect for other people and other ways of thinking that gets us into wars.

The war breaking out on this thread, not just this particular string, is total testament to that.

Exhibit #1 --

And what are you worse at .Being a loser on your job or being a father.Let's hear what you are so good at.@!$%#

"When will they ever learn?"

The fine young men and women that Obama speaks of are few and far between in the group of people that this bill will effect. Most do not think of themselves as American. Ask the people of Texas, California and Arizona how accurate Obama's description is. I have seen too much of Mexican flag waving in our streets. Too many "viva Mexico" tee-shirts. They are here illegaly.

danoid:

but who are you to question the validity of The Constitution? Last I checked we have a group of "detainees" in Gitmo who were placed there courtesy of a Republican administration and have been denied due process as guaranteed by the Constitution.

...and the GOP doesn't give a crap about not following the Constitution in that case.

Another braindead lib. The US Constitution was written to protect the rights of American Citizens.

Enemy combatants don't qualify.

Trust 2112...like Da Noid said, there's no official language in the US. Show me anywhere in the Constitution where English is indicated as the official language of this country. Anywhere.

That's what I thought.

Hey 2112! do you know that the band you seem to love so much lives in a bilingual country...yes that's right! Ontario, Canada is French/English speaking. Also Canada has it's $hit together when it comes to social issues. You need to be bilingual because not everyone speaks English! This is a big planet with lot of people on it and guess what! There are more countries in the world than just the U.S.! Your statement seems very right and very conservative!! but "Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose"

1. It was asking a question, not heckling. The question was serious and needs answered.

2. When will the President actually answer the question? Since this reporter was not the only one who had questions concerning this decision.

3. How much more of this side stepping the rules of our govt. will the American people take?

NOBAMA2012! For the good of America and Americans everywhere.

Another braindead lib. The US Constitution was written to protect the rights of American Citizens.

Enemy combatants don't qualify.

Then, Rayko, please show me where in The Constitution is specifies that it applies only to citizens.

Are you suggesting that if you, say, a German citizen you are not entitled to any of the freedoms identified in the First Amendment?

If you are a Japanese citizen and you are arrested for murder you are not entitled to due process?

If you are Canadian citizen living in Montana are you not allowed to have a gun and go hunting?

President Obama has had 3 1/2 years to correct the situation in Gitmo and to release the detainees. Why hasn't he done so?

Must have been the correct course of action......

...or maybe it has more to do with the fact that the GOP collectively shat themselves at the very mention of moving those detainees to the prision in Illinois.

Those of you who are claiming the president is refusing to enforce the law are forgetting that more people have been deproted during his time in office than were deported during Bush's 2 terms. Deportation of "illegal" immigrants increased by 70% since President Obama took office.

They won't let me post a link because they claim I am "new" but check it out at politifacts.

Uh...you do know there is no official language in this nation, yes?

Yes, most of us do know that - and it's damned humiliating every time the US goes to the Olympics to hear the countries announced with their official language, only to hear "None" said for the US. We look like the biggest fools - "They can't even pick a formal language!" It's about time to fish or cut bait - pick a language, enforce it, and live with it, whatever it may be! Then we can cut out having to print every government form in so many different languages, wasting taxpayer dollars!

Maybe if they verified the kids residency and alien status before being allowed to enroll in any school system, then this measure wouldn't be necessary would it? They really just need to lock down the borders to help keep any more illegals from setting up shop over here and have the ones already here make a decision. Either get legal or be deported no matter what you're doing here, how long you've been here or your status/ importance in the community. It should be a zero tolerance policy but during election time the illegals or illegals supporters are seen as easy votes.

Bill King-5179179 said, "The Secret Service should have taken this guy out"

Yes Mr. Bill King, you are right...the 1st amendment is just a privilege right? While it could be argued that the person should have showed enough respect to let the president finish his speech, your opinion is thankfully just that...your opinion. By the way I was of course being sarcastic, the 1st is not a privilege, it is a right. It is a right that has been defended with the lives of many people...even for you.

This is obviously a desperate, blatant attempt to grab some Hispanic votes by suspending, without congressional input, laws that are already on the books. Of course, he's totally ignored these laws for 4 years anyway, so what's the big deal, huh?

What's really pathetic, though, is the Pavlovic response of his pet sheep on this site....."Obama declared it, so I will defend it to the death". Disgusting, and pathetic.

Neil Munro? Never heard of him.

There should always be respect for the OFFICE of the President of the United States. Mr. Munro failed at that. As for respecting Barack Obama himself ..... he needs to EARN that respect and Mr. Obama has failed at that.

Mr. Obama does not respect the existing laws of our country he swore to uphold. It is his duty to enforce existing immigration laws WHETHER HE PERSONALLY LIKES THEM OR NOT ! By not respecting our existing laws, he disrespects ALL who are legal citizens of the United States !!

One and done ... electing Obama was a huge mistake.

tired of stupidity 946705

Forgetting the signing statement record holder GW Bush? He signed laws into effect and wrote that he would refuse to enforce them at his discretion.

LOL, you wonder why it has a Republican Ring to it. Dummy it your own parties Act. Your as idiotic as Romney, whose DD-214 I still want to see, who in his words Said he would VETO the Law. He's as smart as you Arm Chair Polititions, Don't know the difference between an Act, Bill or Law.

I dare say now that the Republicans are going to have to S*** or get off the pot. Now Romney old boy, This topic was not on "Your List" as topics you WERE going to talk about. I bet he lies about this to. Come on Romney let us see how you can't play the game when something jumps up and bites you on the A**! LOL! LOL! LOL!

Obama has got to be kidding, right??????? I have yet to find a Latino or Hispanic person that was here illegally actually keep what they make, here in the US- it is all funnelled back down to Mexico or where ever they are from!

All Obama did was put them all on the Government payroll- but now legally! This is a pathetic attempt to buy votes- and I agree with some of the comments- Obama just pushed a large group to Romney. HOORAY!

For those of you using Reagan as your example- Even Reagan admitted amnesty was a GIANT mistake! This is the wrong time for this measure- the time to do this is when the country is not going down in flames! I had really hoped he was going to tell them all to go home! no such luck...

And HOORAY for the Daily Caller!! I read it every day and will keep doing so proudly! Obama hasn't earned respect- and it's showing- people are done with him.

It appears the fear and hate brought forth by the criminal regime of bush/cheney will remain as their legacy. Never has there been such disrespect shown to a President. The tea party that has overtaken the republican party are in plain English, boors, low class, and ignorant. Read again the words President Obama said in his announcement. This is truly a wise man, a man of patience and humility. We need to re-elect President Obama and elect a strong Democratic Congress to return sanity to the U.S. Out with the bought and paid tea party.

bigbenalaska Comment collapsed by the community

Obama is still the worst president in the history of history ....

Without question ...

Yes, I guess he was worse than a president who had to leave office a step ahead of impeachment (Richard Nixon) who had a vice president who was forced to leave office after being convicted of taking bribes (Spiro Agnew)...

Yeah, keep the anti-Obama crap in Faux news and other worthless rags.. All loud mouths with NO good ideas - just disrespect and opposition no matter how good the idea is. These jerks are known as ANTI-COMPROMISE for good reason!!

Gatorman-3806248...

The "ill" part ;)

Lol...watching you righties boil over on this is great entertainment....keep up the good work :)

Uh, Earthgirl- Obama was elected and had a Democratic Congress for two years, remember that? He had full control- which explains why the mess is so much worse than it ever should have been. Which also explains why the GOP just crushed the Dems in 2010!!

TNRebel-4016842...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/REDNECK-REBEL-CONFEDERATE-FLAG-FUNNY-TOILET-PAPER-ROLL-/370521439061

Thats about all that flag is good for :)

As a California resident, I don't like illegal aliens any more than anyone else, but I can't find it in my heart to see young men and women who were brought here by their parents in their infancy (with no choice in the matter) suffer for it. If they have gone to school, worked hard to get through college, and earned a college degree....they deserve to be able to go out and do like the rest of us....find a decent job, make money, buy homes, pay taxes; and, if they are lucky enough to begin a new business, to hire people that are out of work! I don't think that this is a problem at all, and I think the DREAM Act is a good start. I just understand why so many conservative right-wing nuts want to punish these young people for something that happened that they had little or no choice to do anything about. It's totally ridiculous to send them back to a country that they have absolutely NO remembrance of, can't speak the language, and have no connection with. They can become viable tax-paying citizens based on their college educations, etc. For those of you who wish them sent back to whereever....perhaps you need to review where YOUR ancestors came from, and maybe we should send you back also.

As for getting citizenship from serving in the military....I think this is a great opportunity. My mother, who was Canadian, was in the Army during WWII, and because of her service, she was given U.S. citizenship. I thought that was the case all the time, but apparently, it changed. As a retired Army officer, I think if young men and young women join the military to fight for THIS country, they deserve the right to be given citizenship.

And, for those who keep harping on the prisoners at Gitmo....you need to be aware that President Obama DID want to release them by putting them in prisons here in the U.S. (I believe it was in Illinois) and stand trial; however, it was the GOP who had a hissy fit about it and blocked it. So, you may want to put the blame where it REALLY belongs before you blame our president for something that he tried to rectify.

Liberal media? What liberal media.. I don't see it here, at least.

The media is just anti-establishment.

Whine, cry and b*tch about Obama, Dems and the Repubs all you like. Point is this reporter has zero class and showed zero respect to the President of the United States. You may not respect the man, but you better f*cking respect the office at least. This a-hole wasn't asking questions, he was making a scene with himself as the star. Guy should be fired and blacklisted. Let him go work for TMZ if he wants to act like an uncouth child.

Then again we congressmen shouting out retarded sh*t at Obama when he's on the floor of the Senate speaking. What a fine example our leaders make.

He is the President now. For the office of the President there should be respect. On the other hand the reporters question was a valid one. Should have waited for Obama to look for the questions first. I think what is more disturbing is how he can make law without congressional review. I know other Presidents have done it. Just seems like since the Congress isnt Democrat anymore, this is his way around that. I almost say there has been a lack of leadership. George W cant be to blame for all of this Presidents failures. When Ronald Reagan was in office, I dont think I ever heard him blame Carter. He just went in and did his best to fix the mess. And before someone calls me a racist. I just dont agree with most of Obama's decisions on how to lead this Country. I believe I still have that right to disagree.

The command from the Great Obama translates into: "Do not speak while I am legislating and creating rights in people where that power is specifically reserved to Congress, I am the Obama."

He should be fired !!!!

workingpoor -

I'm not saying that G.W. did it the right way. I'm saying he was wrong when he did it - and we're equally as wrong (as Democrats) for supporting a President who is doing the damn same thing. If it wasn't right for G.W., it's not right for us.

Democrats can't rail against what G.W. did and then say... oh... but it's ok for Obama because he's in the right. No. He's in the wrong. How do I come to that conclusion? Because the law says he's wrong. I think the immigration laws in the US are pretty sucky. But revise them to something that works - don't just ignore them.

And you know what? I agree that these kids probably should have a fast track to citizenship because of the circumstances. But it doesn't matter what I "feel". Only what the law says is right or wrong.

Tis' dat' simple.

Comical to hear this stuff, when you know that President Bush's audiences were controlled with a fine tooth comb, no unknown questions or questioners.

Now folks are advocating that formal remarks in the Rose Garden be interrupted, when they NEVER have been before.

Once again, GOP-ers expect SPECIAL TREATMENT.

I am a democrat through and through, always will be. I HATE the announcement the president made today and will not vote in the upcoming presidential election because of that announcement however, the reporter was flat-out wrong, rude, ignorant and and ignoramus for trying to shout down the president of the United States (I am just gonna start saying America since we are everything but united). His press pass needs to be revoked. I would say the same of any left leaning or liberal reporter as well. There is no excuse for this type of behavior and if he wanted to act like a six year old, I say let's treat him like a six year old and take away his toy (pass).

Oh ya, I tink dey shood be talking da same vords da same vay we do, Oh Ya...you betcha!

My Great Grandparents from Sweden and my Grandparents from Slovakia would never have been allowed to enter beyond Ellis Island if they had to speak English. Same with the rest of you who had relatives come over on the boats. Depending on what part of the country you live in, many think that some of you certainly don't speak English well or if at all!

Romney does not let the press know where he is speaking until the last second so he has his audience controlled. Repubs show up to protest at others rallies so Romney plans to keep his low key and not answer questions because his only plan is to make you pay the taxes of the 1% like his!

Does this mean that Obama's illegal aunt and illegal uncle can stay in the U.S.?

How dare he interrupt his holiness?

Next they will be allowed to Vote! That would be so obama of the americans to do ... ppl can't U see what's going on? We r being put on the defensive on EVERY level of our lives in our OWN Country, God don't like ugly ... my Father is not a happy God! May He have no mercy on their souls!

And the American people will take Obama out on November 2nd as he is a traitor to our country! He should be impeached!!

The thug from South Chicago will do ANYTHING to try and get re-elected. Too late Odumbo - giving more rewards to the criminals is not what makes a President. I know that is how South Chicago is run, but it won't work on the country.

Every illegal alien should be deported to their country of origin.

The reason for this announcement today is threefold:

1.) Many Hispanics are Devout Catholics. His recent Obamacare mandate for
birth control and his coming out of the closet on Gay Marriage has cost him some
support in this "constituency". He hopes they will look past those two important
issues and with this "DayDream Act" change in policy still support him in
November.

2.) Obama is trying to minimize any gains for Romney were he to pick Marco
Rubio as his VP pick.

3.) The Supreme Court will issue its ruling on the Arizona SB 1070 Law any
day now....If found to be Constitutional, Obama would use this "policy change"
to lessen Arizona's ability to protect Arizona...

Nothing Obama does is for any reason other than what benefits Obama....It's
all Political, always has been.....Why he even has David Axelrod ( Head of his
Campaign) as one of the Team in the room when Obama's is making decisions on
vaporizing someone on his Kill List.

Were those 13 women and children killed in last weeks drone strike on the
list ??...Axelrod may have mistakenly thought he saw a ROMNEY lawn sign out in
front of the building in the surveillance photos.

And another reason why this announcement today:

Obama saw a 20% drop in support from Black voters just in NC when he came out
of the closet on Gay Marriage....he has to replace them......

What gets me is that if your are black and voting for Obama because he's
black (1/2 anyway) and think he's got your back, he just gave out 800,000 Work
Permits to illegals giving them "the right" to go after jobs that might have
otherwise gone to a black person.....These illegals aren't going to be competing
for jobs in the "white communities".....but in the Minority Communities all
across America....If you're Black, forget about getting a job at Taco Bell,
Pollo Tropical, Chipotles, Chilli's, McDonalds...any entry level job.

If you're black in a "low-income" neighborhood and have a job in the corner
Bodega...be prepared to be replaced....Obama needs to keep you on the Government
Plantation Dole....And is sure you will vote for him anyway...

The tension before the 2012 Election is growing faster than algae--

President Obama was this time correct, in telling this Journalist to wait.

No matter what anyones leanings, Right or Left, the Office of the Presidency must be respected.

Respect comes when a Leader shows Leadership caring about his people.. It was wrong, but the American people at this point and time, are on high alert, because of the bad economic future, intensifying foreclosures, and no jobs.

The Immigrants who are good citizens without going through the process of becoming a citizen, because they were born here, thru their Illegal Immigrant parents, should not even come up for discussion. There is an immense disproportion of Unemployment in this Country. 8.2 percent and growing. Who gets the "job" first?

President Obama does deserve more respect while speaking, that is for sure.

Drunk President Bush as heckler....Oh Yeah, check out U tube as drunk heckler President Bush heckles volleyball women and yells out comments about woman's tight butt at Beijing Olympics. Had to be shoved back in seat by secret service! So republicons have a long history of being hecklers!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=fvwp&v=LCRyO6JP6Oc

By the way what should be done with that loud bird(robin) chirping while President Obama talked?

I suspect we will NEVER hear from Neil Murio reporting from the white house.

How can TRASH like this guy be allowed that close to the President of the United States..

The Dailey News Callers, who ever the hell that is will be on the BLACK list for admission to the Press conferences and all White house functions.

If you don't know how to behave at the big table go sit with the kids in the other palor.

What a dork!.

President Obama does deserve more respect while speaking, that is for sure.

Marchant: So let me get this straight. It is only democrats that are allowed to do this when there's a Republican President? Why does he get special treatment?

Why can't he take it in stride like President Bush did, and say " that's what free speech in America is all about"?

Why is the left wing a bunch of hypocrites?

Look up President Bush and hecklers and you will see a long line of people who did it to President Bush, some even from MSNBC.

Mike In Delray: Excellent posts; I agree totally.

So if it's Obama it's heckling. For Every president before him, it was asking a question. I guess if your presidency rest on a lack of ability and no real clue, any distraction would be heckling. I mean people interrupted Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, etc., and it was termed freedom of the press. But, interrupt our Empty suit in chief and, "Oh my god, how disrespectful, how inappropriate, etc".

This is pandering in it's purest, lowest form. What about all the American citizens without work? And do spare me the "They only take jobs Americans don't want" bull s**t. The company I work for has a great number of Immigrants, who barely speak English, and yet they make $16.00 and hour and up with full bene's. Show of hands, how many of you American citizens would take a job like that? Sounds like "O" expects them to reciprocate at the voting booth. What a surprise, last time around ACORN was out registering Illegals to get him elected.

If you voted for "O" in 08 to prove you weren't a racist, do the country a favor and vote for someone else in 12 to prove you're not an Idiot.

A question that went unanswered at the end of the press conference was why is he trying to give work permits to hundreds of thousands of illegals when we can't get jobs for our legal citizens?

On the forthieth anniversary of Watergate and the great jounalists who uncovered that story,we have a internet writer who is a ass, unprofessional, and should be fired by his employer.

If he want to be a heckler, then stand on the other side of the fence and hold your placard.

Who is this guy and how did he ever get a job as a reporter????

Shaking my head-2479300

Da Noid

We can't get your ideas on the Constitution anymore than we can accept Obama's total disregard for it. The reason being some of us went to University and studied Constitutional Law. Did YOU?

And if comparing the two, how would you stack up Obama's "disregard" of the Constitution with George Bush's? Up to and including the use of waterboarding, a clear violation of the Geneva Convention (a signed treaty) which, as you know, if you really studied Constitutional Law, caries the weight of Constitutional Law.

Tired of Stupidity-946705

The President is refusing to enforce the laws for which he as the Chief Executive was elected.

He has no right (please read that as NO RIGHT to ignore the law of the land). If he doesn't like it, then it's up to him - and Congress - to enact meaningful reform to immigration laws.

He is not the first President to refuse to enforce a law nor will he be the last. It's not a question of his right, it's a question of authority. No one can force the President of the United States to enforce a particular law. The Supreme Court can issue an order to enforce the law and the President can ignore it. The court has no enforcement mechanism to enforce it. The Congress can pass a resolution and the President can ignore it. They have numerous times in the past. The only power Congress has over the President is the power of impeachment.

What a bunch of hyprocrite... notice the same people who condemn the shoe thrower, now praise Neil Munro. How partisan:-) Obviously, there is nothing that this President or any Democratic President. In my pinion, too bad and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

"I thought he was finished...." one of the weakest comeback ever Neil Munro, Daily Caller's White House corresondent, FOX contributor. Then the the editor-in-chief, Tucker Carlson, compared Neil Munro to Sam Donaldson of ABC News. Really, Tucker? Really? Pretty soon you'll compare the American President to Adolf Hitler... Oh wait, you already did... How sad...

Given these idiots like Neil Munro and their respect, one would wonder why shouldn't we look for better employees else where such as DREAMERS who actually want jobs to serve America.

REPUKES do not deserve respect there is not a single republican that deserves respect why? Because they are conservative there is not a single idea they have that's new they always try to keep America stuck in the past I will OPPOSE ANY Conservative on the grounds that they are conservative conservatives are idiots who want to keep us the same who think tradition is a good thing such people should be thrown into a deep lake or at least not allowed to breed I despise the conservative mind set and tradition

Unhappy:

Speculations are not necessarily true.

All Presidents of the United States deserve respect for the Office of President of the United States.

We are talking about President Obama re: this Article.

Bush had his hecklers as well, but it is time to move on. "United We Stand, Divided We Fall".

BIGATC.....answer...because the day after president Obama was elected 14-15 repubs met and pledged to vote against every bill that would help the economy recover. Gingrich, Ryan, Cantor, Jim DeMint and others Pledged to destroy the economy just like Bin Laden planned to bring the nation down. They actually said they had to act like the way the Taliban act. Your boys....terrorists........want to bring the economy down and so they have all voted a record number of obstruction votes. Ref, Richard Draper New book!

Its a cut across the board, how many of these illegal immigrants fit into this category? and how many are the drug crazed potential criminal element and how do you sort it out? whats wrong with the persons wanting citizenship simply apply for it and get it the same way that our laws in existence already mandate. why go around the constitution? this is a ploy for votes, I hope the legal Hispanic/Latinocitizens can see through this. on another thought maybe Mr O just cant handle doing his job the way it was presented to him, so he will simply change everything so he can do it his way. I'm sure this is a politically motivated move to gain votes, maybe he should just make it legal for the rest of the world to join in on our elections. it looks as though he is stacking the deck before the game. we better request that the dealer shuffles. but if Mr O is the dealer he will only shuffle the top half of the deck and deal from the bottom he is a slick one. there are legal ways to live in the US, I suggest these people try them.

Best comment of the day goes to Nicodemus1946:

If you voted for "O" in 08 to prove you weren't a racist, do the country a favor and vote for someone else in 12 to prove you're not an Idiot.

Never were there truer words. You need to mark your calendars as today is the day Obama lost the election.

(I've been wondering if he did this on purpose to lose the election.....then I realize, he is way to arrogant to lose that way......)

I agree there is a problem but Obama cure is not the way, and I don't like being dictated to. we have laws use them. and just because the law breakers don't like our laws doesn't mean we abandon them.

Comical to hear this stuff, when you know that President Bush's audiences were controlled with a fine tooth comb, no unknown questions or questioners.

I remember W having shoes thrown at him so I'm not too sure about your statement.

@Mike in Delray, posts #1.97 and #1.98, excellent posts and right on the bullseye.

@AppeasersFate, post #1.104, I was just thinking that. Didn't someone throw a shoe at GWB and it was considered justified somehow?

Anyway, just real quick like, American jobs are disappearing, America's position of power (on the global scale) is threatened, and American identity is being disintegrated. The world laughs at us because of the fools in power, fools that the people put there. Thus is the reflection of the people of America.

@D-Buck - Your comment here is sickening.

there are legal ways to live in the US, I suggest these people try them.

Yeah, there are. But in some countries, they may end up dead before they get the go-ahead to start the transition.

Tell me, if your best friend was an illegal (hypothetically speaking, of course) - and you lived in the same neighborhood, played together, and found out he/she was from a country that slaughters children or worse, would you condone sending them back to a lion's den?

Would you truly say "Oh, serves that little illegal bitch right. May she rot in Hell! In God King Romney's Name, may that bitch burn" even to your best friend, if you knew they were an illegal? Do you really think life so cheap that you would send someone who had hopes and dreams to their death?

Well?! WOULD YOU?!

You racist, pathetic dog of the Latter Day Saints of Romney's Korporate Kon Klan! Perhaps you should take their place and learn the fear of death yourself!

You make me sick. I hope you rot in hell.

Tell me, if your best friend was an illegal (hypothetically speaking, of course) - and you lived in the same neighborhood, played together, and found out he/she was from a country that slaughters children or worse, would you condone sending them back to a lion's den?

Tell me, if your friend whom you had to leave behind, was still stuck in a worn torn country because people who skipped the border got first dibs, even after you applied again and again on their behalf to the American Embassy, would you feel right that they are the ones who keep getting screwed? WELL WOULD YOU?????

YOU SEE IT IS ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE.

You make me sick!!!!!! Take your liberal crap somewhere else.

Have you guys NEVER heard of prosecutorial descretion?

As an elected or appointed official, the prosecutor is the most powerful official in the criminal justice system. Prosecutors exercise unfettered discretion, deciding who to charge with a crime, what charges to file, when to drop the charges, whether or not to plea bargain, and how to allocate prosecutorial resources. In jurisdictions where the death penalty is in force, the prosecutor literally decides who should live and who should die by virtue of the charging decision.

Prosecutors exercise the most discretion in three areas of decision making: the decision to file charges, the decision to dismiss charges, and plea bargaining.

The decision to prosecute is based on the following factors:

• The sufficiency of the evidence linking the suspect to the offense.

• The seriousness of the offense.

• The size of the court's caseload.

• The need to conserve prosecutorial resources for more serious cases.

• The availability of alternatives to formal prosecution.

• The defendant's culpability (moral blameworthiness).

• The defendant's criminal record.

• The defendant's willingness to cooperate with the investigation or prosecution of others.

prosecutorial discretion legal definition

noun

A prosecuting attorneyÂ’s option to make choices with regard to charges, plea bargaining, sentence recommendation, and so on.

Heckling? Hmmmmm, in the days before the good little boys and girls of the socialist lapdog MSM disgracefully started allowing themselves to be used as props, sitting quietly in neat little rows gazing in slack jawed awe at their noble leader,and only being allowed to speak if and when they are told to,by being given questions the President wants them to ask so He can give the propaganda reply He wants the People to hear, and nothing more,(reminiscent of a scene from 1984), while "Their" President, spews his propaganda unopposed, This, "heckling", is what use to be called journalism, where a real professional reporter, at great personal risk to himself and his career,bravely dares to stand up to such a leader and ask a simple, direct, question , "Mr. President , Why do You seem to care more for illegals than You do for the American People?",and what do the good little boy and girl props do then? Instead of joining in and asking the obvious follow up, "Yes Mr. President,just why are You usurping the Power and authority of the Legislative Branch,in order to pander to illegals in an election year, when Citizens who pay taxes and therefore the bills, are still hurting so badly? Instead,They immediately turn on the man who would dare question Their noble leader, calling for him to be banned from any more of Their "Press" conferences! We can only hope other such men and women are still out their, willing to take the heat in order to actually do Their jobs.

Children were being deported who had never lived in any other country. Too many stories like this have been in the news. You haters need to take a chill pill. Your hate stays with you. We don't much care about you spewing it, but at least know some facts. The Republicans could care less if you are unemployed. The only job they want to keep is their own with all the fringe benefits. Obama has created more jobs alone , in three years than the Republicans did in eight. Keep voting against your own interests or nor vote at all. That's what the Koch brothers and the Birchers want.

Well, you're very good at listing all the talking points. Now, please show us all the jobs he's created still in existence and not costing the taxpayers $248,000. per job created? Remember shovel ready? Oh, and the unemployment rate under Bush was at 4.5%, guess that's escaped your notice too? What does Soros want, BTW? Think he'll profit from an economic downturn over here? Go ask Britain, see what he did for them.

Obama should be treated with the same respect he holds for American values... in other words, NONE! He's thin skinned, a narcissist, a Marxist radical and bent on turning this nation into a third world garbage heap. The press protects his weaknesses, and he gets soft ball questions from them at all his press conferences. He regularly insults anyone who disagrees with his policies, sneers while doing so, and the far left loons on this site keep kissing up to him while emulating his behavior. I have no respect for the man whatsoever, and the sooner he leaves office the better. He has disgraced the US in his speeches to allies, allowed critical strategy to be leaked thus endangering our military, and now he wants the taxpayers to pay for amnesty and education for 800k illegals, all of which will likely be borrowed money and added to the future burden of our next generations. Oh, he needs to be respected because he holds an office? He is an utter disgrace to that office and should be removed asap!

President Obama oozes respect for this nation and it's citizens. Just because you evidently can write long answers doesn't mean you are speaking the truth. Propaganda and lies do not work for most of us. He even showed respect towards the numbnut who interrupted him. I wonder how much he got paid for that spectacle. he only made a fool of himself. The whole thing was contrived by a party that has no honor. This so-cslled reporter must have been raised in a barn. No couth at all. Just another Bircher.

Obama is still the worst president in the history of history ....

Without question ....

BigbeninAlaska were you living underground with the cicadas between 2000-2008?!?! I know they only show up every 17 years meaning they won't be back until 2021, but I'm trying to find a reasonable explanation for such an asinine comment.

I have confidence when I say who really was the WORST President in this lifetime and the rest of the world would back me up when I say it and it sure as hell ain't Obama. If it's one thing he's bad at doing, it was trying to extend an olive branch instead of sticking it to your kind years ago and putting them in their hypocritical cages where they belong.

@mygirl1

Well, you're very good at listing all the talking points ... Oh, and the unemployment rate under Bush was at 4.5%, guess that's escaped your notice too?

You're a fine one to mention "talking pints". FYI, Bush was handed that 4.5% unemployment by Clinton. That's right ... Clinton handed Bush a 4.5% unemployment, and Bush handed Obama a 10.2% unemployment. I should also mention that the highest unemployment since the Depression belongs to Ronald Reagan - 10.8%.

I guess I'd rather support policies that lower unemployment rather than raising it. And if unemployment bothers you, you should do the same.

@Mike in Delray, your post is full of bigotry. Here's a suggestion for you, don't worry yourself about black people and what we do. We are really not interested in your theories. Besides which, the topic is about a heckler not the particulars of Obama's announcement. Seems you're off topic as well. There is another thread for that topic.

@Shaking my head-2479300

Da Noid

We can't get your ideas on the Constitution anymore than we can accept Obama's total disregard for it. The reason being some of us went to University and studied Constitutional Law. Did YOU?

OK Shaking my head, since you brought it up...

Excactly how has Obama totally disregarded the Constitution? In your reply, would you please include which particular provisiions of the Constitution he has totally disregarded?

Clearly, what you do not understand about the Constitution, is that it is a living document, meant to be tested and with the ability to be challenged. Doing so isn't "total disregard" for it.

To my knowledge, the only serious challenge to the Constitution as a result of Obama's policies would the the health care mandate provision of the the health care overhaul.

Do you believe that GWB's water boarding of detainees, portions of the Patriot Act, or going to war based on unvetted information given by ONE source was Constitutional?

It is no secret that I don't like Mr. Obama, I do; however, respect the seat of the President. What Mr. Obama has done with the "young" illegal immigrants is BS. That does not give anyone the right to disrespect the office.

Why all the comment collapses. Are we supposed to comment?

Carl Lafoon

Perhaps you are in favor of abolishing freedom of the press if you don't like what they report...or simply abolish the conservative viewpoint or, God forbid, asking a question. Obama, like ANY American, is fair game to request an answer from a policy he is inflicting on America. Especially because this is absolutely politically motivated. Why did he not do this 3 1/2 years ago?

Jim: Bush's overall unemployment rate was 5.3%. Prior to the credit market freeze in September of 2008 the highest overall unemployment rate under Bush was 6.3%. Obama's deficit spending has not held unemployment under 8% and in fact the numbers are closer to 11% today.

Here are some interesting sources for your perusal.

http://scottstanzel.com/2010/06/04/unemployment-rate-during-president-bush/

http://www.forbes.com/sites/peterferrara/2012/02/09/dont-be-fooled-the-obama-unemployment-rate-is-11/

Jim President Clinton handed Bush that low unemployment rate with a Republican Congress, President Bush handed President Obama the unemployment rate with a Democratic Congress. Maybe it was more Congress than President.

As far as the heckler, well he did what he had to because Obama was just going to give his speech and leave without taking ANY questions.

Sen Marco Rubio has a similar plan working through Congress on a bi-partisan effort, yet Obama wanted all the credit for so he jumped the gun to look good and pander to votes.

.

Hmm... 18 'thumbs up' on a collapsed comment. I'll take that :)

Thanks!

The law states that ONLY CONGRESS can make immigration "policy".

Obama's policy strategy: Ignore laws...

WASHPOST: Young illegal aliens' amnesty to tighten competition
for jobs, college...

Unchecked presidential power?

In some ways, it’s part of the evolution of an “imperial Presidency,” a term used by historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. to describe Richard Nixon’s challenges to traditional checks and balances.

ONLY congress can make immigration policy.

And this @!$%# carries a green card, for the moment anyhow.

Sorry mygirl, but your figures are false. I mean, if you’re going to use sources that make stuff up, why not just call it 98% unemployment? Conservatives are exaggerating unemployment and liberals are minimizing it. That’s the problem with partisan information sources. I would no sooner use Forbes than MoveOn. That’s a big problem in this country.

President Obama’s “deficit spending” is damn near nonexistent – I call it a myth. The only significant Obama contribution to the deficit was his ARRA stimulus, initially around $800 billion. About half was realized through interdepartmental revenue reshuffling, and half was realized through income taxes, which were unavailable due to prior tax cuts. So that stimulus immediately added about $400 billion to the debt. But the ARRA stimulus was more like a loan than a grant, and it is nearly totally repaid at this point. Last time I checked, about $60 billion was still outstanding. So President Obama’s actual deficit spending has contributed only 0.3% of the current National Debt. And that is constantly shrinking for 2 reasons – 1) the stimulus is being repaid and 2) the National Debt is constantly growing.

The National debt is currently enormous, but that is due solely to legacy spending – over 96% of what’s been added since the Clinton Administration is due to only 2 things – military expenditures and tax cuts. The remainder is attributed mostly to the economic downturn, which caused a reduction in revenues.

Current unemployment (by official measures) is 8.2%. Since 54% of post-stimulus newly-hired labor was offshored, what does your calculator say unemployment would have been if all new hires had been Americans? I get about 5.9%.

and from richard-1957365

Maybe it was more Congress than President.

LOL - and if that crap had an ounce of truth, the current gigantic deficits are all caused by the Tea Party in congress. Nice try.

FAKE CONSERVATIVES AGAIN?

So, a fake conservative, who calls themselves a Republican, will side with the press, who they lie that they hate, because that press happens to tick off the President, who they 'say' they hate.

So, I guess since they are Full Of S**T, I can only take this to mean that a Tea Party activist actually likes Obama.

Damn, once the Republican Party actually had conservatives in it who actually used their brains. Looks like the fake conservatives have decided to engage in the same stupidity they say they hate themselves.

Welcome to the NEO Republicans and Democrats....where you are asked to leave your brain at the door.

Awwwwwww, the poor First Narcissist got interrupted and didn't like being called out on his perfectly transparent disregard for America's laws in an effort to pander for votes. Too bad....so sad....what a shame. It's time that arrogant dictator learn that we Americans no longer buy his act or give a sh*t about his ego getting hurt. Hey Barry, just go back to Chicago and be a community organizer for those deadbeats if your looking for someone to constantly kiss your ass. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Msnbc,, do you suck your masters cock nearly as good as you attack a reporter for interrupting obama?
The audacity to suck horse dick and spin it in an up and coming way is something the gay p o rn industry could learn from.
Packy raty mentality, lol.

Is that what a Lil rat brain underthstands? You erronisporous, silly.

Even If Obama wins the election it will still be funny.

Fvck the lil pack rats. All obediently following and getting emotional when someone doesn't trying to pass their horse c ck sucking as a win to gai the psychological advantage. My dear, you are still a lil pack rat that sucks horse manure, don't blame otherths for your failthures.

I am shocked by President Obama's lack of respect for legal American citizens and the United States Constitution.

Mr. Obama would have you believe that the vast majority support this DREAM Act when this is not the case.

An immigration policy must have two features:

1. Stop the flow of illegal immigrants through border security

2. Create a path to citizenship once the flow is stemmed

The vast majority of US Citizens support one or both of those requirements.

Mr. Obama chose to insert himself into this "king-like" political proclamation instead of having an immigration policy in the first 3.6 years of his presidency.

I am ashamed of him and cannot wait to have him fired in November.

i see nothing wrong with the press "heckling" as it was supposed. he challenged the speaker to a legitimate question and was provoking a response. he got it, 15 minutes of fame, the speaker (as he always has), saw a small window of opportunity to make a statement in turn, acting insulted, to have the speaker wait his turn. who can know how this would end? kid's do this all the time, so do adults.......why point fingers at this press man because he was thought to offend obama? he was asking a question and kept at it until he got a response. let's talk about better subjects and not silly things like this.

The irony is that the heckler isn't even American. He's Irish with a greencard!

Obama did exactly was Reagan did. Was Reagan Wrong???

Reagan had more tact. And yes, it was a common thing that reporters called out their questions. It is only Obama who thinks he is above this. The show of arrogance....his true colors was showing.

If our President would actually answer questions about a subject then maybe reporters would not feel the need to shout out questions. This President is treated with kid gloves by the press. He expects no less. Ever heard thestory about the emperor has no clothes? The press for the most part is a bunch of lap dogs for this White house. Oh and the reporter did say afterward that he had made a mistake by not waiting until the Pres. was finished. Of course as "Soon" as he would finish he would have turned and run tail out of there. He knew what he was doing would create a stink. Why else do it on a Friday?

willowbrook:: You said the guy was asking a question and not heckling. I bet you just love it when you are talking and somebody butts into your conversation.

I would call that idiot a pig, but I don't want to insult my pigs. They have more manners in their little tails than that idiot has in his whole body.

And evidently more manners than you seem to have.

I have heard reporters ask questions of the president before, but none of them butted in right in the middle of a sentence like this idiot did. Tho from what I have read, that butting in is par for the course for that rag.

SSPC::: Yes, someone did throw a shoe at Shrub. But that happened in a foreign country, and their way of making a point might be different from ours. So quit trying to compare the shoe-throwing incident IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY to something in THIS country.

Watching the libs call the GOP names and vica versa is actually funny since they are the same people simply switching masks in their theatre called the american government and you all buy it just like the sheep you are. How many pitiful poor little underfed democrats are there. When is the last time you saw a bankruptcy statement on the many poor GOP politicians. Never on either. They play us off one against another throwing out things like illegal immigration as a distraction and we buy it. They create a screwed up economy and on stage blame each other while off stage they raise taxes and vote in themselves raises and benefits that last their entire lives and we all buy it.

You all need to quit being so party bound you can see the big picture past the stupid little things they throw in front of you like slop to pigs. They dont care if there is gay marriage or not, whether there are illegals or not, whether we have health care or not. They have one single agenda. Can we make money off the stupid sheep by having a health care like we did with social security? Can we milk money out of the people from the bailouts like we do medicare. And if they start to notice someone yell something about gay marriage, and someone else cry illegal immigrant. Then the stupid people will be seperated again and we can take another 2+ trillion of bailout money and make it disappear like we did just a couple years ago.

"Is Obama still a good face for president?" "I dunno man if he isnt distracting the american people enough should we put in Romney you think?" "Hey we can do the birther thing again if we need to" There is always war to keep the americans busy" and we all go baa baa baa.

Look at the cabinet members of the last many presidents sometime. They are all related to the same people from the same giant banking corporations, or something like that. Doesnt matter if the president was a dem or rep they are all the same. Whats that make you think huh? If I was a new pres and I picked my cabinet I sure wouldnt want the relative of my enemies cabinet members behind my back would I? And in the meantime the Federal Reserve which is a privately owned company that isnt taxed and has no laws governing it or overseeing it and no one audits it, Controls our money! And we just sit back and things get worse and we fight each other. Amazingly enough for even atheists is that Jesus said it right. A divided house cannot stand. We are divided by party, race, nationality, sexual orientation, financial status, education level, liberal, conservative, etc and while we are the entire political structure of the U.S. is laughing behind our backs at the great game they are playing at our expense. Better wake up while you still have the option to, or perhaps its already too late. When they can tell us they are considering whether or not we can buy a 20oz soda, or eat a large popcorn, things are getting pretty bad, and they are working on that in NYC now. Watch some of the videos about the Bilderbergs and see what you find out. Go to their site and see how they admit and agree that they are behind the New World Order and one world government, but that the conspiracy theorist have it wrong. They only want to control us for our own good. Sounds an aweful lot like hitler, stalin and lenin to me. But if thats what the people want they certainly will get it. Goodluck to you all.

Turin.... I agree with you a 100%. When will the peolpe wake up???? The democratss & the Republicans the only thing they can do right is GROW the Goverment. Remember the bigger the goverment the smaller the people.

"And evidently more manners than you seem to have."

There was no lack of manners in Willowbrooks post. He merely said the man was not heckling, but that he did interrupt. Re-read with clarity - and don't judge manners. You should be familiar with that which you purport to critique.

Yes, the way George W. Bush was ridiculed by the media and entertainment industry was appalling and disrespectful. That was much worse than being interrupted.

No one would ever get the chance. Like W. Bush, most of Romney's events have a handpicked audience of true believers.

This is liberal education at it's best.

Does this dufus wear a bowtie like his mentor in chief Tucker Carlsen?

The forum was not the correct place to shout that question. That said, I bet someone gives the same question to Carney tomorrow.

We can all agree that this was disrespectful of the reporter. I don't understand the hit on Tucker Carlson though. He hasn't even had time to take action with his employee yet. If he fails to discipline, then you can be upset with him.

Now that we are in agreement on that, what of that question? Is legalizing approximately 800,000 people to work going to help or hurt our 8.2% unemployment? If I were one of those who is unemployed and looking for work right now, I would be furious with this President.

The forum was not the correct place to shout that question. That said, I bet someone gives the same question to Carney tomorrow.

That is just it Obama wont hold an press conference and answer that question so he had his chance and he took it.

Did any one ever shout out to George W. Bush in a State of the Union address or a press conference in the Rose Garden? Get your facts straight - it's different when comedians make jokes about the president, but such disrespect at an official event is uncalled for. And we wonder why children are growing up so disrespectful now, because it's what they see.

Proud - Could you please point me to a link where Bush was interrupted by a supposedly "professional" member of the press at a conference or speech? Or interrupted at a State of the Union address by a government official shouting "You Lie!".

Did Bush get heckled, called names or reamed in the press? Sure. On opinion shows, blogs, whatever. Not interrupted while addressing the nation or giving a statement. Sorry, never happened.

Yes, Feisty Redhead, I can gladly remind you of when a "sitting President has ever been subjected to this kind of behavior"... how about when George W. had a shoe tossed at his head in mid-speech in 08? Such selective memory. Where was the outrage then?

That is just it Obama wont hold an press conference and answer that question so he had his chance and he took it.

Still not the right place for the question. You have to show respect for the office. Now instead of focusing on the question, people are focusing on the guy from the Daily Caller. This was a purely political decision by the President. I think that is plain to see. The guy from the Daily caller broke the number 1 rule of journalism by inserting himself into the story, and he should be suspeneded if not fired by Carlson.

Rob in Warwick NY, last time I checked Bush once had a shoe thrown at him. "Only from the right" my foot. Be fair.

"Sit down and shut the @!$%# up, I'm the @!$%#in' President" would have been impressive.

While I don't like what this reporter did, it would be rewriting history to act like this is the firs time this has ever happened to a president.

I guess you guys forgot when the liberal press hounded Bush at a presser to admit he made mistakes just to get a story.

The only time Bush was officially heckled during a press conference was in Iraq when a guy threw his shoe at him. And I don't think he was a reporter, just an outraged citizen.

This Republican Party disrespect for the presidency embarasses this country before the world because eveeryone knows that most of it is simply racism.

Wayne,

What about the shoe's being thrown at him, does that count. You might not like Bush but he is sure fast on his feet.

This is simple. It spares the expense of deportation of a very select group of people who meet the qualifiers. I know this is not xenophobic enough for the sort that post on here, but these are the facts. All of these folks are Americans in all but legal status; many of them living here since they were very young.

Fisting Redhead....he has to earn respect. Just because he is the first half-black president to achieve office does not mean we have to bow to him (like he does to foreign leaders) like you do. I only wish we could have fielded a black candidate (who doesn't golf for most of his term) to run against him who could actually perform like a president.

Oh puhlease lol. Bush was subjected to just as much if not more hate mongering and bashing as Oblamer is. You are obtuse and transparent in your weak attempts to divert attention from your master Obummers failed policies.

LOYD S,

Bush deserved the treatment he received. He raped our country.

Well, wait a minute. There are legal ways to be a resident with work privilege's and to become a citizen of the United States. A presidential pardon is not or should not be one of them.

If you want to go to any other country in the same way these people come to the US, you will get booted out of those countries.

I am happy to have people come to America, just follow the legal process.

Oh, and Red, you are such a hypocrite, all of you who either shouted down Bush or other Conservative polotitions or who agreed with and backed up those who shout down people who are making point that YOU LIB's doen't agree with. HYPOCRITES!

This Republican Party disrespect for the presidency embarasses this country before the world because eveeryone knows that most of it is simply racism.

Give me a break. A guy shouted a question at the President. Disrespecttul, yes. Racism, I don't think so. People are blowing this out of proportion. Are you telling me that we have never seen this level of disrespect for a President? How about Lincoln, Reagan, Kennedy? I guess having a question shouted at you is now larger sign of disrespect then being shot.

Victoria - you are a total buffoon! The shoe tossing incident was in another country!!!! Get a clue!

Feisty Redhead, your initial question didn't say anything about geography. So your un-clever response of "and WHERE did that [shoe throwing incident] take place" has nothing to do with your initial question of "when in our history a sitting President has ever been subjected to this kind of behavior?". I answered the question with just one example. Presidents have also been subjected to assassination attempts (Reagan, Truman, Jackson, et al), assassinations (Lincoln, Kennedy, Garfield, McKinley), shoes thrown at their heads (Bush), and the list goes on. You're outraged by a question shouted out before question and answer time? Grow up.

Bah, the secret service should have beat the guy to death.

And damage should try repairing 12 to 17 brain cells, before he starts spouting love it or leave it, particularly if you don't look like me.

Secret Service couldn't beat the guy up- they were too busy scanning the crowd for hookers!

They should have roughly escorted this Right-Wing sucker out after the second interruption.. And like he had anything important to say anyway.....

@JimD #2.32, So, you simply advocate MURDERING the guy ? Then a personal attack on another poster ??

Wow ! You are such a classy guy !! You libbies show your intolerance for other opinions nastily !

Off topic but, one would think that using a thinly veiled and clearly disrespectful obscenity in every post would be frowned upon as a violation of the “Newsvine Code of Honor“. Yet a certain feisty individual, along with a few other posters, are allowed to blatantly display a profile icon which does just that with seeming impunity.

How can that be?

LOL fiesty and seeking sanity, always with the excuses, regardless of the locale it was still a sign of disrespect, now stfu!

BTW sanity I would love seeing you spout off on non FR newsvine sites the way you do here. Should be quite entertaining.

victoria,

nice try at covering your a**. Everyone knows you didn't have a clue where the shoe tossing event occurred. So are you saying because someone has poor manners it is ok to exhibit those same traits?

Devdoc....Please don't think that you have the right to speak for ALL of us....you don't. When you say something about the "wishes of the American people," you do NOT speak for ALL the American people and have NO right to even think that you do! Speak for yourself only please. I really get peeved when people think they have the right to speak for everyone....they don't!! It's not only annoying, it's presumptuous!

It is just shocking that anyone would dare to interrupt a leader of a nation while he is actiing as a super legislature and legislating law and creating rights in excess of his executive powers.

Here we have it, political jihad at its very best. The problem here is we live in a disrespectful age. The president is known as POTUS. These threads devolve into rank name calling, spurred on by agitators like Feisty Redhead. She, if she is a 'she', is entitled to her opinion but her constant appearance seemingly for the sole purpose of raising discord is suspicious. Our president is disrespectful of the Constitution he swore to uphold. Eric Holder is disrespectful when he stonewalls the investigation into FAST AND FURIOUS. Allowing him to appoint folk to investigate the White House for leaking sensitive information is just to weird for words. Our political parties are disrespectful as well as dysfunctional, we get further proof daily. We cannot be surprised when a reporter for a forgettable rag of a newspaper is disrespectful. He's seen it work for better men than he is. If you want a return to a respectful society apply the rules of respect to your posts.

Feisty Redhead Roselle, IL

None of the slight of hand that you and obama use will help him win PA, OH, VA, or FL

can't win without them

Hey Sanity! Did you get my posts yesterday? I see you're at it again. If someone is wrong about the facts, by all means give us the truth. Is it necessary to call names again. What is so ironic about your behavior is that in attempt to show everyone how intelligent you are, as soon as you call someone a name, you show everyone how intelligent you are.

And you are right!!! But you seem to have forgotten that
Bush is a war criminal, a charlatan, a traitor… And above everything else a
despicable excuse for a human being who’s confined to the U.S. because of all the
crimes committed against humanity, and worst of all our own country. The S.O.B.
Can’t even travel to Switzerland because the minute he does he will be put in
JAIL, AND HE WOULD HAVE TO FACE REAL JUSTICE. This is a fact; I know that
individuals like you cannot handle facts, but look it up and you’ll see that
unlike you guys on the extreme Reich I’m presenting you with actual facts, not
made up bull @!$%# from Faux the extreme Reich propaganda machinery. AGAIN, LOOK
IT UP!!!! GET THAT THUMB OUT OF YOUR, well figure it out… You know what. Never
mind; your kind is known for the lack of critical thinking skills that unfortunately 99.9 percent of you are plague with. So forget about it I just
won’t waste anymore time trying to accomplish the unobtainable.

Weaselyone: He's not giving citizenship rights to 800,000 people....I doubt there's a tenth of that many who have graduated from college with degrees and want to go to work here in the United States. Give me a break!!! You rightwing weirdos sure go overboard with exaggeration!!

Neil Munro wasn't just rude for interrupting the POTUS, he also has the unmitigated gall of "playing pocket pool" as well. For shame Neil, you pervert!

I suspect Neil and his organization Dailey News Caller will never be allowed any where near the President in the future.

I am certain he and his right wing organization will never be allowed on the White House grounds.

What an embarrasment to himself, not that he cares or knows, and the nation as a whole.

He is an embarrasment to humanity.

Please do not interrupt the speech LA RAZA prepared for Obama the Clown.

I don't understand why this is considered news. Check out President Bush 2004 State of the Union address and see that what goes around comes around once more. President Bush was heckled during that speech.

What's really sad is that the democrats think they can do it to others and it won't be done to them!!!!!!!!!

DiDi...what a racist. You are saying the Mexicans are too stupid to get that many degrees?

You're really reaching now. That was an Iraqi that threw the shoe...in Iraq! That was a truly brain dead example! Give us an example of disrespect for GW, from an American that even came close to a member of congress shouting "you lie" during the State of the Union Address...I'll wait.

Now this president has asked the black community to "get his back"...and this is his idea of how he "gets their back". With the rate of unemployment for black youth higher than it has ever been in my lifetime, 67 years, I am wondering how black people feel about this demonstration of the presidents real feelings about them. It seems to me that the only reason he cares about the black community is that they can help further his personal agenda because he is first and foremost a marxist....even before he is black .... just look at the facts..

Check out President Bush 2004 State of the Union address and see that what goes around comes around once more. President Bush was heckled during that speech

Of course you have a source for your accusation - please share & enlighten us all wise one!

I don't recall anyone yelling at him & calling him a LIAR!

See buddy - this isn't a NewsforDumbFUx comment section - you better be prepared to back up YOUR bull@!$%#!

So... put UP or STFU!

You're really reaching now.

You noticed that too? lol

Poor Vicky talks about selective memory while suffering from selective amnesia!

There is a reason I refer to these Yahoo's as the stuck on stupid crowd & Vicky is a prime example!

More people are speaking out rudely because asking politely and calmly telling aren't getting through.

What's right for the American people is to focus on the American people - not the illegal border-crossers. Americans want health care costs to be reasonable. We don't need more criminals or children of criminals weaseling around our laws till the feds give up chasing them and put out a welcome mat instead.

Of course you have a source for your accusation - please share & enlighten us all wise one!

I don't recall anyone yelling at him & calling him a LIAR!

Feisty: Here's your link...... Next time look for yourself before you talk.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBxmEGG71PM State of the Union Address

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYp4jbCs2J0 4th of July Speech

In 2004, Democrats delivered a “Chorus Of Boos” during Bush's Bush’s State Of The Union when he called for renewal of the Patriot Act., according to the Washington Times.

In 2005, Dems howled, hissed and shouted "No!" when Bush pushed for Social Security reform in the SOU: "Foreshadowing the contentiousness of the coming debate, Democrats broke decorum and booed twice," according to the National Journal.

At the time, CNN's Bill Schneider remarked, “It was unusual. I had never heard it at least at that level before. The Democrats clearly were booing, heckling, saying no when the president talked about the crisis in Social Security."

You liberals are all a bunch of Hypocrites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually liberals are pathological liars and rude name callers and complete hypocrites!

luke,

and republicans only have nice things to say about everyone............

Didi-376564......Weaselyone: He's not giving citizenship rights to 800,000 people....I doubt there's a tenth of that many who have graduated from college with degrees and want to go to work here in the United States. Give me a break!!! You rightwing weirdos sure go overboard with exaggeration!!"

Sheeesh, doesn't matter how many received college degrees.....they all want to stay in the U.S. There are already "sob stories" hitting the media at this very moment saying that the Illegal Aliens (Immigrants) children are the VICTIMS. What.....breaking Federal Immigration Laws and they are victims ?????

Mr. Obama had the DHS issue "New" regulations (bypassing Congressional procedures) to give children of Illegal Aliens (Immigrants) a "work pass" for two years IF....IF....IF.....the child received a High School diploma, received a GED, received a college degree, or served in the military......NOT JUST THOSE RECEIVING College DEGREES. 800,000 is 800,000 people. Will they be able to claim their parents, brothers, sisters, Aunts, and Uncles as DEPENDENTS ?

Very nice touch on your last sentence. Typical Liberal.

I suppose everyone has forgotten that Mr. Obama has already proposed that 1,000,000 Illegal Aliens (Immigrants) receive permanent residency.

• http://articles.latimes.com/2012/mar/30/nation/la-na-immigration-residency-20120331

The actions by Mr. Obama is nothing more than POLITICAL to obtain VOTES and he has complete disregard for changing Federal Immigration Laws via Constitutional procedures.

One and GONE !!!

The Flys (mi-spelled on purpose) are getting pretty bad in this room.

Were you equally as ashamed when someone through a shoe at George W.'s head in 2008 while he was in mid-speech? I doubt it.

how about when George W. had a shoe tossed at his head in mid-speech in 08?

And where did that happen again?

Which state did that take place?

Such selective memory

Sweetie - I wouldn't be lecturing anyone on memory... lol

While I don't like what this reporter did, it would be rewriting history to act like this is the firs time this has ever happened to a president

Well Ron,

Since you are such a history buff - maybe you can answer the question I posed above. Tell us when something like this has ever happened...

I think you have re-writing history mixed up with creating it! ;o)

No AMERICAN threw the shoe!!!

The shoe incident took place in Iraq, by an Iraqi journalist, in response to the illegal war perpetrated by President George W. Bush against the people of Iraq.

It was NOT a supposed US journalist, invited to the Whitehouse.

IMO: this person should be banned from future Whitehouse events.

What is that smell in the air? Desperation from a losing candidate pandering to the last group he can find to pander to OR is it the first step of revenge from a loser who knows he is on the way out and wants to pay America back for not making him King of a Soviet State?

Victoria - are you 10? The shoe incident wasn't in the US!!!!

Victoria in NY -- that shoe was thrown by an Iraqi journalist in Baghdad, not by an American in the USA.

"After a pause, he continued to tout the new policy of suspending deportation actions against qualified students for two years and allowing them to instead apply for job permits. According to White House officials, those individuals would have to reapply after two years in the event Congress does not pass permanent legislation in the meantime."

Actually, since an 'Executive Order' can be canceled as soon as a new President is sworn in, his 'policy' could only be effective for about 7 months.

Then it would be back to the previous legal policy, and those granted temporary work permits would be unable to keep working legally. That's why a BIPARTISAN law is the only reasonable answer, but Obama keeps saying 'My way or the highway'.

No President has the legal authority to extend an 'Executive Order' beyond his term in office, which could end in 7 months.

Also, his so-called 'Prosecutorial Discretion' rhetoric is nothing but "The President gets to decide which laws will be enforced and which laws will be ignored" - a clear violation of his sworn duty to uphold all of the laws of the land.

Shaking my head-2479300

The doctors phoned - your room is ready and they will provide the meds.

No American journalist ever showed such a lack of respect for an American president before. Likewise, no American congressman ever interrupted a presidential address to Congress by yelling out "you lie!" -- that is, it never happened to any white American president.

OK Victoria, Get over the shoe throwing incident. That was in IRAQ not the US. The Iraqis hated Bush more than we did/do.

Feisty: Actually that happened in Iraq to President Bush.

As for everything else, so when did we elect a President and get a dictator instead? If he just going to circumvent the laws of this country, why did we vote for him in the first place? This is just another way for the President to buy votes and everyone knows it.

Third, if you go online you will numerous posts about hecklers on what they did to Bush. How did Bush take it? He took it well when he said " This is why we have free speech in America".

Why can't Obama take it in stride as well?

Does he need special treatment?

Victoria, Why would any AMERICAN be ashamed because an IRAQI THREW a shoe at our President? I thought President Bush got props for deftly avoiding the shoe, instead of getting nailed. You do recall that it took place in IRAQ, right? It did not happen at the White House...

SeekingSanity, did her question say anything about geographic stipulations? Hardly. She simply asked "when has a sitting been subjected...". I mean, shouting out a question before question and answer time? Presidents have been subjected to assassinations, attempted assassinations, shoes thrown, and the list goes on. You're really so outraged as to make a claim like "when has a sitting President ever been subjected" to something like a heckler? Grow up.

Munro is not an American either. He is Scottish.

Well, wait a minute. There are legal ways to be a resident with work privilege's and to become a citizen of the United States. A presidential pardon is not or should not be one of them.

If you want to go to any other country in the same way these people come to the US, you will get booted out of those countries.

I am happy to have people come to America, just follow the legal process.

Oh, and Feisty Red, you are such a hypocrite, all of you who either shouted down Bush or other Conservative polotitions or who agreed with and backed up those who shout down people who are making point that YOU LIB's doen't agree with. HYPOCRITES!

to azdad48 ---- no american president ever showed such disrespect for the Constitution and he did lie !!!!

Feisty I don't believe that you stated the disrespect had to come from the US media directly, your statement/question left it open ended, or perhaps that was what you were intending.

Victoria in NY

"Were you equally as ashamed when someone through a shoe at George W.'s head in 2008 while he was in mid-speech? I doubt it."

Victoria, Victoria....First, Bush is an Idiot. Second, that was not an American that threw the shoe. Third, if you were in the country that Bush attacked and lost you loved ones, you would most likely throw much more then just a shoe at him... I know I would.

So I do not see your point Victoria....

I've seen more respect for authority from Hispanic immigrants.

Munro was probably emboldened by the right wing slant of the msm "journalists" like Chuck Todd.

Uh oh Conservatives Romney sounds like he is on board with Rubio and Obama on this one. Who are you going to vote for now that Romney flipped again.

This guy at the speech should have been removed. He is an idiot. And I am glad the President spoke to him like he was acting. A little boy who needed a stern scolding. LOL

Victoria doesn't care where the shoe was thrown at Bush. Reality has no impact on reactionaries. Just remember the maxim: Republicans lie all the time about everything.

Victoria needs to join up with Shaking my Head: It's time for the 4:30 meds now. Please, no one should confuse these people with facts, it is too disturbing to come up with an alternate story to confront the new (real) issues

Lurchz you are referring to Obama and the democratic party right? I totally agree!

WAY TO SCREW THE BLACK COMMUNITY!

They give you 97% support and you spit in their face.

God Bless you Mr. President. Our POTUS continues to represent Family Values in action NOT just empty Platform words.

Isn't this the "compassionate solution" MANY of the conservative Christian GOP espoused? So they should love it right? Or is the problem that it came from Mr. Obama whom they justify to hate? (for Jesus' sake of course)

They hypocrisy contines to stink to high heaven.

The President should have done the same thing that Reagan did when someone heckled him...told the guy to shut the hell up...works for me....

See, that is what pisses me off. I didn't vote for Obama and everyone calls me a racist. Guess what hun? I was named after Lonnie Brooks (a black man and I am a white girl) and one of my best friends since I was little is black, Teysha. You wanna know what she said after Obama was voted in.

"White people, don't vote for Obama, called racist. Sure. They might not be but I get it.

Mexican or Hispanic people that don't vote for Obama, called racist. They may not be but I get that too.

But why the hell would anyone call me, a dark, fully black girl, racist when she doesn't vote for him? Oh right, cause he's mixed with white. WTH?"

I'm not racist and neither is Teysha. We just know he's an incompetent fool who is further driving this country into the ground. He says he wants American's to have jobs? Why does he encourage companies to move their base overseas? The Obama Administration has spent tax dollars on subsidizing the outsourcing of American jobs to foreign countries. Sure he claims that he's against it but that's only after the support for him dropped drastically. Yes, Bush was a moron. But Obama was an even larger mistake for this country. I'm sorry but if one would look at all the FACTS and NOT what's SAID people would realize why he's wrong to have any amount of power over our nation.

As an American, I'm insulted when anyone shows this amount of disrespect not just to the President but the office he represents... I can say that the more they attack this President the classier he looks...

I'd have to say it was the first time that I'd ever seen the President this upset... If I were that reporter/clown I'd get out of town...

These actions by the far-right only makes me stronger in my vote in November for a second term for President Obama... And maybe we should work on changing this two term stuff... Congress doesn't have it why the white House?

It's too bad there weren't more people there like that reporter. Obama is just working the hispanic voters, who hopefully will see through his retoric. He's just working you over, giving your jobs away, in hopes of getting more votes. He's selling us all out, blatently. Next thing you know he's going to find a way for ILLEGALs to vote.

Don't you think this is a slap in the face to everyone who isn't a citizen that is here legally?

It seems like the morally right thing to do, but if it's not legal then it's not legal. And that's the bottom line. Let the next generation of their families that are born here be legal, let the generation that is here illegally and not deported for whatever reason be the ones that paved the way for the future generations of their family. If they aren't here legally they shouldn't be afforded the rights and assistance that legal residence have. Why does everyone have a problem with that?

UnHappy, you made my day. You stated "Why can't Obama take it in stride as well?"

Because how dare ANYBODY publicly question our king obama, supreme ruler. Now i must go purge myself of the sin of thinking bad of our king.

Paris (fitting name for someone espousing socialist propaganda) Too bad it wasn't American Families you condescending windbag. Jesus wanted people to give charitably not by force like your socialist master. You are probably not even Christian. Get over yourself.

The GOP are the most stupid people in the whole world.Because the only tv channel they look at is FOX NOISE.

hatefly

Regardless of what "side" you're on, respect for the office should always be in order. People have dived down a long twisted road of ugliness as of late and it's sad.

I agree 100%. Obama has trashed the office for the umteenth time. I expect to see him host the Grammy's, the Miss Universe pageant or Family Feud very soon.

First I would like to say as for as disrespect, how can a leader admit one million more people in this country without going through proper channels, with the unemployment the way it is? He talks about young dreamers, how about the young dreamers that are actual citizens who can not find a job, who would like to start a business, and not be able to, what about talking with that group of people? I wonder how much in student loans these ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE? I know for a fact that if you come here the government will help you start a business and offers free grants to go to school, but try being a citizens of this country and get part of that.

If anyone is being disrespectful it is our ELECTED OFFICIAL WHO IS SUPPOSE TO REPRESENT THE LEGAL CITIZEN. IF you are not a legal citizen of this country you have no rights to our laws or way of life. If you want to be part of this country then go through the proper channels!!!

It is really too bad that ANY President should be disrespected while speaking. At least Obama is trying to keep the Dream Act alive, You can say he is doing it because it is an election year or whatever or however you want to spin it. But He pushed for the Act the last time the Right shot it down. At least Obama knows Washington is broken and He still tries to do things that are right for the American people.

They did the same thing when Lincoln gave the speech that freed the slaves.... They'll oppose Obama right or wrong. These fanatical jerks have no respect and NO patriotism...

TeaPartySuks dude, Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN. A fighter of freedom for ALL. just like most republicans and all Conservatives.

yes, which proves it crosses party lines as lincoln was a Republican... and Bush got the same total lack of respect, except he got death threats and a shoe thrown at him... all poor Obama has to deal with is somebody with no manners exposing a rather valid opposing viewpoint...

beadarg

"if you were in the country that Bush attacked and lost you loved ones, you would most likely throw much more then just a shoe at him..."

So if they have the right to be pissed then why don't we have a right to pissed about those who attacked us and killed our loved ones? That gives us just as much right for bombing them right?! Typical biased hypocritical left wing nut.

robert20906 you Moron, the dream act dosent do aything for the American people except expect them to foot the bill. And any president who swore the oath of office to uphold the laws of the land and the rights of the people (which only applies to those who are in this country legally) should be heckled. Why would you respect someone who is activally working to give your rights away to anyone who wants to sneak into the country?In fact if congress had any balls he would be impeached. But all the politicos in Washington are falling over themselves to see who can give away the most to any special interest group that can get them reelected. 20million illegals working in America while 20 million Americans are unemployed. And to your way of thinking this is whats right for the American people?

Worm meat,

Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN

Republicans were totally different back then, Einstein. Maybe what you said fools some weak minded Tea Partiers but we're a little more enlightened here (I hope!). Then again twisting history is what TP and the Right does best...

teapartysuks - do you consider it patriotic to add more people, who aren't here legally, to the workforce so legal citizens have an even harder time finding quality work? Talk about unpatriotic. I don't lean one political side or the other, I vote on who I like more. Last time it was Obama, I bought the retoric, but I had NO idea it would be this bad.

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me-and it's not happening twice.

Hatefly, I will grant you that decorum must be observed when addressing the office of the President. But in these times it's hard to remember that. People are scared and broke and for most intents and purposes without hope. The hard working citizens of this country are the rope in a tug of war between dems and repubs. Neither one of which seems to be genuinely interested in helping the people that carry the country on their backs. Obama is a total loss, we can gloss over all the crap but he has been proven to be completely useless and only really started trying to be productive after it became obvious that he wasn't a shoe-in for re-election. He favors a European type of socialism which is obviously failing in Europe too. Romney serves big corporations. That system is unsustainable in it's current form. People have a choice between the frying pan and the fire. Which do you figure is best?

The Republican party is so messed up and has been for years and than to help you get straight for who to support the they invented the Tea Party. Because the party couldn't be understood. This was a stop gap measure to help you to understand the the mess and you still ain't figured it out. Let me help you.....

1. They relate to you religiously. But they don't go to church.

2. Fully back equallity of race. This is the biggest bunch Predjudist people I have seen since the KKK.

3. They can create jobs. In some other country, heck even Houdini can't pull that off.

You need to get this very clear in your heads. A CEO thinks only in cost cutting. Reorganize and eliminate all the jobs you can. Get all the cheapest of crap you can and shove it at the consumer at the highest price that you can get away with.

I don't buy anything that's cheap if I can avoid it at all nor do I by Chinese, and prople are not a disposable commodity to be lied to, misused, and thrown away.

I spent 24 years in the US Army and if you clowns don't like what I'm trying to get through to you, you can kiss my Red Blooded American A**!!!

TeaPartySuks dude, Twisting history?? Really How?? Lincoln WAS a republican. He WAS a fighter for freedom for ALL. Look it up, you'll see.

True conservative believe ALL should be free to pursue happiness. Happiness does not come from government.

Maybe you should put down the bong, come back to reality and become truly enlightened.

Worm meat ,

Bull Sh_T

You and the TP favor States Rights over Federal power any day. The conservatives of that time were actually "Blue Dog" Democrats that supported States Rights and therefore SLAVERY. The Conservatives of today are Republicans. So if you or anybody else needs clarity, you just need to ask which Party were the Conservatives of their time... (i realize some of our readers need it real simple like to understand...)

hootgibs writes...."Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"

So funny when Bush could not remember how that line goes...thanks for reminding me. There are a ton of books out on Bush speeches that he screwed up............heheh...Can't get fooled again....! God that is funny!

I have to do search on his speech screw ups. Like the one where he was talking to Womens group of Drs. that were Gynecologists and he thought he was talking to a group of lesbians.....u tube it!

"So if they have the right to be pissed then why don't we have a right to pissed about those who attacked us and killed our loved ones? That gives us just as much right for bombing them right?! Typical biased hypocritical left wing nut." -by lo87

So exactly how many Iraqis attacked us and killed our loved ones?? Please tell me you're not using 911 as justification for the war in Iraq. Typical uniformed right wing nut, is the "87" in your name a reference to your IQ?? If so I think you're being generous.

TeaPartySuks dude, there was more going on during the civil war than just slavery. We can all agree that slavery is an abhorrent reality of our history and abolishing it is/was the right thing to do. It give more people freedom to pursue their happiness.

The constitution does pass the rights to the people at a local level. If an issue cant be handled at the local level it will and should roll up to the state. If the state can't handle the issue then it rolls up to the fed's.

My point is that freedom is not something the goverment can hand down. The more government is involved in our lives the less opportunity the people have. People should not be dependant on government. If people need help, that should be handeled at the local level. Getting people involved to help in their communities. A little polyana but that is where true freedom is.

Obama is LA RAZA's talking head.

TeaPartySuks

You and the TP favor States Rights over Federal power any day.

Dude...what's your point? You sound like state's rights are a bad thing.

Well. he's pandering to his base, leave him alone. He's gotta make lots of promises like he did in 08. If he gets re-elected (God forbid) the folks have one guarantee, he don't need them anymore and he will do whatever suits his personal needs and agendas and promises are definitely made to be broken in Obamaland. Anyone who thinks Obama gives two cents for them is beyond naive. All he wants is to ride around on Airforce One and make promises and kiss up to Putin.

Witness his recent lunch with a couple of barbers and two servicemen. Obama wandered off and left them to pay the bill.

WAY TO SCREW THE BLACK COMMUNITY!

They give you 97% support and you spit in their face.

Interesting to see a Republican 1%'er concerned for the Black Community. When in US history has a president been hounded for his birth certificate? What makes Obama different than any other American President...let me think...

When in US history has a president spend so much time keeping his background hidden?

As to state's rights, well, it is the United STATES of America, not the United Federal Government of America, of course, given time the latter organization will no longer require anything from the states except money.

As to the article, seems about a year ago Obama gave a speech where he told his audience that he could'nt go against the laws of the land, and today, well, he just went against the laws of the land with his new and improved Dream Act.

Obama back then:

http://youtu.be/J9isifcg9ik

Anyone who is impacted by his flip-flop had better be careful. The man is only pandering for votes and seven months from now, if re-elected, could to a complete turn-around since he won't be needing no votes to push his agendas. He could decide that those 'young illegal immigrants' were a drain on his policies and send them packing. Anyone in their right mind would trust him about as far as they could throw a piano.

Obama has no idea what is "right for the American people" he has never consdered the American people before in anything he has done, until it blows up in his face like healthcare...if it is right for the people, put it on hte ballot and have the people vote on it...instead he dictates what will happen in this country for several generations and the people have no say. This is not America, it is Obama's version of liberaltainia.

mygirl c'mon now you know democrats don't flip flop they evolve.

The policy will create significant new competition for jobs and university slots at a time of nationwide recession and numerous states' efforts to curb public spending.

"I see a tidal wave coming" mad rushing of illegals at our border.

Half of our college graduates today can't find jobs, and the unemployment rate for high-school-aged Americans is extremely high.

This is unfair to U.S. citizens and legal immigrants who are out there struggling to get ahead.

Yes, everyone knows that the President should only treat the children of illegal immigrants well after making sure all of the more important people are taken care of.

Derp.

obama is a Narcissistic Egotistical Self-Serving ......

Of course. There is a great episode of "30 Days", where a right wing self-appointed border patrol "minuteman" spends a month with an family of illegal immigrants. try and find it if you can. Some incredible young people in this country.
