President Barack Obama continues to lead presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney by wide margins with Latinos, according to the latest NBC News-Wall Street Journal-Telemundo poll.
Hispanics, the largest-growing segment of the U.S. population over the past decade, said they preferred Obama over Romney in the presidential race, 63 to 28 percent.
That margin has been relatively consistent since May when the poll started sampling additional Latino interviews. It’s also, though, far below the stated Romney campaign goal of winning 38 percent of the Hispanic vote.
"Our goal is to do better than four years ago and the McCain campaign did — our goal is to hit 38 percent with the Hispanic vote," Jose Fuentes, a national co-chairman of Romney's Hispanic leadership team, told The Hill newspaper. "That's our goal. That's our national average."
Full NBC News-Wall Street Journal-Telemundo Hispanic oversample poll here.
By every measure and every issue – from foreign policy to immigration, the economy to taxes – Hispanic registered voters said they overwhelmingly preferred Obama over his Republican opponent. But there continues to be a warning sign for the president’s reelection campaign: Latinos are among the least enthusiastic voting groups in the country this cycle.
“The president continues to perform strongly among Latinos, but his campaign continues to face the challenge of engaging interest and turn-out,” said Bill McInturff, the Republican pollster who conducted the poll with Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart. “As we head into the conventions, the evidence suggests Latino voters continue to lag behind in terms of their self-described interest in this election.”
Despite President Obama’s June immigration announcement – which halted the deportation of illegal immigrants younger than 30 and who were brought to the United States as children – there has not been an uptick in Latino enthusiasm. That policy took effect Aug. 15, but Latino interest in this election is at its lowest point in the NBC-WSJ-Telemundo poll.
Just 61 percent of Latinos indicated a high level of enthusiasm in the upcoming election (registering an “8,” “9” or “10” on a 10-point scale). That’s 20 points below the average of 81 percent of all voters. And almost 20 points below 2008 levels for Latinos at about the same time before the election.
In this poll, in fact, one in 10 Latinos declared themselves a “1” – the highest level recorded this cycle.
And less than half (49%) count themselves as the highest-interest voters (9s and 10s). That’s the lowest among all voting groups in the NBC/WSJ poll.
They are similar, but below even the interest level of young voters, age 18-34. Fifty-two percent of young voters say they are 9s or 10s. Both should be red flags for the Obama campaign, as both young voters and Latinos are pillars of the president’s reelection hopes.
Still, Romney is seeing his worst likeability scores with Latinos. His negative rating is at an all-time high with the group – 48 percent (with 31 percent viewing him very negatively). Just 31 percent viewed him positively.
Obama, on the other hand, is viewed positively by more than two-thirds of Hispanics (67 percent).
Also, the U.S. Census found that Latinos now make up almost 17 percent of all Americans, and, since 2000, they have grown four times faster than the rest of the country.
They voted well below those population figures in 2008, however, making up just 9 percent of all voters.
But because of those demographics, even if intensity is down, they will still make up a significant chunk of the electorate that cannot be ignored, McInturff said.
“We don't know the percentage of the electorate that is going to be Latino -- one could argue it might be as low as 7 percent or as high as 10 percent,” McInturff said, “but, even if it drops from 2008 levels down to 8 percent, among likely Latino voters, the president is up by 40 points. That's a margin Gov. Romney has to narrow or he is placing a lot of pressure to perform exceptionally well among white voters to win the campaign.”
Romney VP pick doesn’t move Latinos
If Romney was hoping to move Hispanic voters with his vice-presidential pick, he didn’t do it with Paul Ryan.
A majority (54 percent) said the pick of the Wisconsin congressman will not affect their vote; 28 percent said it makes them less likely to vote for Romney; just 15 percent said it makes them more likely to do so.
Further, almost half (44 percent) say Ryan is “out of step,” as compared to just a third who say he’s “in the mainstream.”
On Medicare, a key issue involving Ryan’s controversial budget plan, a majority of Hispanics believe the program needs to be reformed, but almost six-in-10 Hispanic side with President Obama over the alternative posed by Romney-Ryan.
Fifty-seven percent said they agreed more with the president’s argument that Medicare “is a bad idea because it would end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher system giving seniors a set amount of money to pay for their health care costs and leaving them to personally cover costs above this amount.”
There were Latino Republicans in consideration for Romney’s vice-presidential slot, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez. Both will speak at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla.
The live-caller telephone survey of 300 Hispanic registered voters was conducted from Aug. 16 to 20 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.7 percent.

How about we wait until after Labor Day to start slicing & dicing enthusiasm numbers?
Why would it?
What specifically has Ryan, Willard, or the GNOP for that matter, done for Latino voters?
This is the party who embraces Joe the Phony Tax Cheating Plumber declaring "open season" on Hispanics!
Sounds like it's time for Barry to announce more immigration laws he will stop enforcing or more free govt giveaway programs targeted at Latinos, or both.
I am curious as to what BrakingBryan has to say about this today ... as well as all of the others who love to gnash their teeth over any type of poll that shows the President in the lead.
I better take some Advil ahead of time! ;o)
The only group that Romney leads in is with white males. There are two reasons for this and both are anatomical. They do not have vaginas and their brain is located about 12 inches south of the belly button.

Hmmm.... Remember to tell your father that next Father's Day.
Alright - back from my big backpacking trip.
Seven days in the lovely Pasayton Wilderness in Washington state. Covered about 42 miles/10k in elevation changes. No alcohol, only freezed dried food and fresh cut throat trout.
Lost 10 pounds, and detoxed my liver right good.
Also, being off the grid for a whole week was outstanding.
Looks like we got us Ryan. Love it.
So, who's up for a discussion about math?
What do the polls say about whites? How they leaning? Or would that be too presumptive?
I've taken up through differential equations, so as long as you don't pull theoretical stuff out I'm pretty sure we should be fine.
Spanky
If you don't mind I will subtract myself from whatever numbers you tripped over on the path.
Maybe some of those white males thinking about voting for Romney/Ryan will remember exactly that it was the house that Ryan sat in holding up the recent highway bill for all those summer construction jobs. Put the blame where it belong. Yep, those republicans really gave a damn about the economy...sarc/
JoAnnaSmith1
Ah those dang pollsters, what a bunch of racists.
"Also, being off the grid for a whole week was outstanding."
Yeah, I think that one was pretty much unanimous.....
"So, who's up for a discussion about math?"
I'm the first one to admit it's not my best subject, but if you'd like to expound on the trajectory of that bounce Romney didn't get from picking Ryan, I'll try my best to follow along.....
Oh, I don't know gang, but it appears that we are closing in on the $16TRILLION mark.
God golly, but that has to make even you libbies head hurt.
But by all means, let's ratchet up the entitlements, cause we got money to burn.
Or we could try to figure out the carrying costs of $16Trillion.
Or we could try to guess when it'll reach $17 Trillion.
Oh and look - there's JoAnne, chiming in.
Typical libby - she just hates, hates, hates, any dissenting or opposing voices.
How very 'progressive' of you JoAnne.
Boy will the election results be super unexpected for ya.
it didn't even move the Conservatives. Romney's numbers are as flat as they were before his introduction of the REAL president Ryan.
Hey feisty what abot tim "the tax cheat" geithner you know our treasurey sec. give me a break, how bout barney"tax cheat" frank, or charles" i didnt mean to lie" rangle, or debbie" i have several offshore invesments" wasserman. Please we can all throw name calling around the fact is your guy sux and his policies sux and our economy sux bc of him. Spin it how you want time for a change
Bounces?
The race is tied, despite Mitt killing that poor cancer victim, and Ryan coming after your cats.
What does that say about O?
Just for fun, I'll go ahead and call it now - Mitt 53%, O 47%.
And how funny is it that they are just figuring out that Obamacare guts Medicare?
Precious.
Again, I believe FOX News runs that poll.
"Typical libby - she just hates, hates, hates, any dissenting or opposing voices."
Spanks, I have a number of Republican friends on here, we've had a number of civil discussions in the 2+ years I've been here, and I'm not a "typical" libby, I'm a rather extraordinary one, if I do say so myself. Guess you should've been here yesterday, when I actually defended Mitt Romney against what I thought was an ubsubstantiated quote attributed to him. Hey, come to think of it, that was the second time I did that in the last week. I'm sorry, what was that you were saying about "hate, hate, hate"? Oh, and can we please hear some more about your liver? Like, since the "Obama guts Medicare" conversation was thoroughly debunked long ago?
Spanky-
So your liver is now clean, but the rest of you still toxic.
***Still, Romney is seeing his worst likeability scores with Latinos.
Just wait it gonna be worst.
4more years 4 44
Obama/ Biden 2012
Maybe they should poll the immigrants who came here. You know the ones who jumped through the hoops, and waited for their opportunity to become American Citizens. They are not happy with the president at all.
Its funny because Obama is always saying its the right thing to do, or its the fair thing to do. Mr. President, its neither.
Toxins ooze from his every pore!
At least WCA can come out of hiding now that his little buddy is back! ;o)
He was having a tough go at it having to travel without a skirt to hide behind!
The only president to ever grant millions of illegal aliens unconditional amnesty was a republican named Ronald Reagen.
As if anyone has a Crackin'Concern. The Russian mail order whore posing as a blatina has yet to figure out how to read a poll. Will be interesting to find out who she names as the resident 'lier' and racist today.
JoAnne - "Yeah, I think that one was pretty much unanimous....."
You crack me up! Good one!
I question the clean liver, as well.
Here's some math:
No differential equations needed to figure that one out Chief.
And all this time I thought he was hiding under it. Thanks for clearing that mental image from my mind Feisty.
Interesting.....so I guess nobody wants votes from old white guys (like myself) who served in the military during the cold war, worked for forty years struggling to feed our families & make ends meet, and who get NOTHING when it comes to assistance from the federal government in terms of: food stamps, welfare, disability, or affirmative action "points" for college entrance or job hiring.
It sems you have to be hispanic, black, or a woman for any of the candidates to "want" your vote.
Real nice.......this is what we have to look forward to.
You know what happens if we go over the fiscal cliff? The same thing that happens if we implement the Ryan Plan: austerity.
Hey Spanky..Were ya "packin" on your wittle wabbit hunting trip like Elmer Fudd? You wascal you!
To the rest of this board: Try to get a visual on that!
Ah, it is so darned sweet you all care so much about my liver.
But fear not, I'll be dedicating significant time to cruding it up with booze - got a Palm Springs trip this weekend, Labor day in Havasu, then Vegas 9/7.
So much for the 8 pounds I just lost. :(
I never really understood people that needed alcohol (or any drug for that matter) to have a good time.
JoAnnaSmith1
JAS1, thanks for pointing out that this is a problem with congress. Repubs on vacation after a couple of trying years just saying no.
It was a back packing trip Torpedo, not hunting.
Although I did see a lot of deer, two black bears, and the absolute coolest thing of all - a Bald Eagle has moved into the lake I always got to.
Huge wing span and one hell of a fisherman. IN fact, there was a noticeable decline in the fishing. I suspect it has to do with the eagle's 10 fish per day feedings.
But, I will be in the SU shortly, and as you know I try to buy a gun every time I go.
Lookin' to pick up a Sig this time.
Xabre - wicked character flaw.
Sadly,just one of many.
Like spending too much time on the internet.
As if we care - but thanks for giving us a vacation from your faux number crunching, which has never amounted to any sort of number crunching, just vacuous accusations.
BTW - good work on those 10 pounds .. what about the other 300?
Heh, they must not have many eagles where you live. You see them on utility poles here.
totas..................I'm one of those who came here legally and became a citizen and I couldn't be happier with President Obama. There's room for all...so move over, being here longer doesn't make you special, you or yours just got here earlier.
Never seen one in person before.
Oh and RedDEv - sorry to disappoint, but I currently weigh 189, which is about 10 pounds more than when I was 18. Of course back then I could dunk, but how about you?
And why prey tell would you make such a silly accusation? Are you a fatty yourself?
Please don't answer, it'll be better that way.

And the Dems are hard at work? Can we see what they've come up with?
And then there is this:
I guess that's not important anymore either. But we do love and respect our sons and daughters who serve now don't we? Heck, we have a parade for them now and then, that should be enough, right? I know, I know, it's the economy, we have to somehow fund this "war of necessity" as Obama calls it.
Hey, Prince Harry was caught doing naughty things in Vegas. We'll see a FR story about that soon for sure. It's a certainty the Democrats will blame Romney.
I'm sure they're voting to repeal Obamacare for the thirty-some time. Oh wait...
Gingerbread,
Doesn't make you special, but does make you LEGAL.
Do you think Mitt Romney dreams about what these numbers could have been if he'd picked Rubio?
In 2008, the media said the Hillary Clinton voters lacked enthusiam for Barack Obama and we know how that worked out and the same would have been true had Hillary won the primary. There are probably republicans who dislike Mitt Romney and are not "enthusiastic" yet they will vote for him anyway.
The enthusiam question is like the country's on the right track/wrong track question--there are so many factors which are not part of the answer that will affect how a voter responds to the question and it may or may not be a reflection on whether or not they will vote.
My oh my... you sound jealous... Snuffy!
Been awhile since anyone had the courage to do "naughty" things with you... eh?
What office is Prince Harry running for?
I can still dunk! a donut in my coffee.
Like I said, faux number crunching!!
These huge deficits can only be paid down and brought under control by huge tax cuts, the only way we can pay down the existing federal debt is by cutting revenue to the federal government.
Oh yeah right, lets do some fancy republican math.

Really? Who halted drilling offshore here (you know the US), killed the keystone pipeline and is supporting Pebrobus (sp?) in Brazil, which by the way is George Soros company? Hint -- it's your empty suit in the Whitehouse but as long as he's pandering to black youth, latinos, and the lazy that's good for you? Y'all afraid you might actually have to work for a living and get some skin in the game? Grow up!
Hey Contempt - you do realize this supports the Obama plan and is counter to the GOP plan, right? And you realize that 1950 was the gateway to the single largest expansion of the middle class, right? You know, that period where taxes on the wealthy were high, where government expansion mushroomed into a lowering of unemployment.
RedDev - Contemptible doesn't know much so of course she doesn't know that.
Feisty - did you leave the door open again? I see Spanky has crawled back in and little JAS and Contemptible are thrilled to have their little boy back!
Obama/Biden 2012
Obama doesn't need to motivate his voters. Romney/Ryan are doing that for him.
Does any one else smell her??? ISFASS ismellfiestyandshestinks
The truth on Obama's record with Hispanics is he has been a total failure on this issue. During the first two years of his administration, Obama could have passed any immigration law he wanted. He did nothing. Now, in the middle of an election year where he is losing, he ilegally creates a new guest worker program and suspends deporting certain illegal immigrants. All the while setting new records for deporting others.
motherland1
It would appear from the polling data that Obama's record has been a success, and the GOP numbers are a reflection of their abject failure.
A success in letting in illegals, this clown has done nothing successful but jam his failed policies down our throats.
Which, of course, explains that more illegals have been deported under the current administration than under any previous administration. Why else would a Latino Conservative group in Nevada call him the "Deporter-In-Chief"?

Why else would a Latino Conservative group in Nevada call him the "Deporter-In-Chief"?
Because they lost their cheap labor source?
Hey Spanky..Were ya "packin" on your wittle wabbit hunting trip like Elmer Fudd? You wascal you!
Spin on @ Da Noids's post:
Which really means more illegals are being allowed in than under any previous administration.
Uh...it would occur to me that if you are being deported you are not really being "allowed in", now, are you?
Oh, and by the way, "Laker Steve", you are also aware that there are over 3000 more border patrol agents now than there were before President Obama was elected, yes?
How true Laker how true but the little sheeple don't want to admit that. Check out the loophole that lets illegals not authorized to work in the US the child tax credit which by estimates is going to cost the taxpayer -- 7.8 billion dollars this year. Oh yea their favorite empty suit!
Hes deported more bc he has pulled back border patrol hence more illegals coming over
OilShark - you're nothing but a common bottom feeding liar. President Obama has NOT let in more illegals however, he has had more deported. I love how you mental midgets like to pretend the problem with illegals began with President Obama.
He has done more to deport illegals than any other President. Bush did NOTHING and has illegals working his ranch. Reagan gave complete amnesty to a large number of illegals.
So, try to find a subject that might actually be accurate to whine about. This isn't it!
Obama/Biden 2012
What's the matter with conservatives? Don't believe the facts?
fielden - they can't FACE the facts so they make things up. It's the conservative way - when you've got losers as your candidates, LIE LIE LIE!!!!
Obama/Biden 2012
Of course that is not true according to DHS statistics. But the liberal left wingnuts have said it enough that some folks actually believe it. Truth is that the Bush administration deported 2X the number of illegal aliens that the Obama administration has.
Fun facts about Obam and illegal aliens
1- President Obama is the 1st President with illegal alien relatives living in the US evading deportation orders
2 - President Obama has granted deferred action status and work permits to more illegal aliens than he has deported. BINGO lets buy some Hispanic votes.
All the illegals deported by Bush and Obama together doubled doesn't put a dent in the problem. Obama stepped up deportation on illegals who have committed crimes in addition to being in the country illegally. This way he can look like he's doing something and the likes of La Raza, MECHA, LULAC, etc can't complain because he's deporting criminals.
What was it Lincoln said? Something like, "You can fool some of the people some all of the time...."
You will know a politician is serious about illegal immigration when he/she cracks down on the employers who give them the incentive to come here in the first place.
TO: motherland1 who wrote:
The Latinos obviously don't think so, nor are the Latinos impressed by Republican hate speech.
Like the article says, and as the pollsters have said, President Obama has the Latino vote 15 points ahead of Romney.
Do Republicans still believe that hate speech works? cause I don't see it working, but that's all Republicans have got, is hate.

see 2016, the movie, Owebama's Amerika
Obama is all about class warfare. He is literally tearing this country apart like this country has not seen in modern times. He is pitting classes of people against each other: rich versus poor, poor versus rich, black versus white, white versus black, democrat versus republican, republican versus democrat.... Americans have to unite together... Too many Americans are nothing but stupid sheep and are allowing themselves to follow a "leader" who instills all the wrong principles, all of which are destructive to this country.
Nice Pic, Chic ! Who said brains and beauty can't go together ? You show way too much common sense in your post ..... expect to be attacked or collapsed.
obama has let more in than he has deported....you see..he picks and choses who to deport and who to let stay based on the votes....obama is an illeagal so why would he not lead in the mexican vote...hes one of them
obama can suck a bag of d icks..his days are numbered...he has screwed america enough..time for him and his tribe to go walk about back to kenya..
the obama experiment is done
obama will be voted off the island
looks like Obama has ran out of food-stamp.
we need that electric fence ASAP to keep the parasites OUT.
Another "get out to vote" surrogate article.
Wow, the Chicago political groupie continues it's "throw it at the wall" theme. Looks like Axelrod, Gibbs, and Jarrett are working overtime and pulling out all the stops since they cannot defend Mr. Obama's failed policies.
Next article will probably be on an International theme since the U.N. cannot control Iran. Wait a minute, Mr. Obama just had a photo op on that one yesterday when he inserted comments about the Middle East during his "slamming of the Republican Party" and trying to say that the unknown Missouri Congressional contender comments about "rape" is a Republican agenda. My oh my, and and surrogates ran with this one for all it was worth.
.
If you want to DESTROY .......... ALL CIVIL RIGHTS.........vote Republican.

yep, but there's no racism inherent in the GOP these days....
And that statement is racist how?
rac·ism (rszm)
n.
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
really? you have to ask?
tribe.... go back to kenya....
seriously?
Yes really. Where is there racial hatred? the use of the word tribe? the use of the name of the country Kenya? or just because someone is outspoken against Barack Obama?
Has any one seen the weird sh!t Ann Dunham was involved in???? That has to have affected her children in an unbalanced way.
Moron, what next, are you going to jump on the Ann Dunham had a sex change bandwagon.
Wow! Is that what you've got? Isn't that something she could handle with her family? I bet you're the epitome of "family values". What a Tea Bag you are.
I stand and applaud you, Ben. It must take a big set of stones to go after a candidate's dead mother.
Yes, Da Noid, the party of family values, showing their values. Unbelieveable.
Ben - and what's your excuse? What weird sh*t did your parents engage in that caused you to be the way you are?
You truly are a pathetic little man.
Obama/Biden 2012
More personal attacks from Speeking Insanity ? What would a day be like without all her flamethrowing remarks on this website ?? Oh, yeah .... maybe at least respectful for a change.
Face reality, Obama did nothing for the Latinos when he had the opportunity. Only when election time approaches did he usurp his authority to pander for their vote. They are smart enough to see through this masquerade and that is why their entusiasm is weak.
NO WONDER Obama is popular with Hispanics. He allows bus loads of admitted illegals to come to Washington, to protest for entitlements. They were saying "we illegals are not being treated fairly and getting our fair share".
Did Obama round them up for deportation? Hell no. It would have cost him votes.
How can our Chief Executive, the man who, under our Constitution, is the ultimate law enforcement officer, ignore illegality right in front of his nose? If he was campaigning at a Target Store (Michele loves Target and their Chinese goods) and he saw someone shop lifting, I am sure he would scream "stop thief". I fail to see any difference.
"If he was campaigning at a Target Store (Michele loves Target and their Chinese goods) and he saw someone shop lifting, I am sure he would scream "stop thief"."
Not before determining the voting plans of the thief he wouldn't.
jim, stop it. SS was standing up for ones deceased mother.
What hateful nasty people are on here. You are not Christian so don't even say you.
now go tell the Latino community that YOU gave drug lords in their country MORE guns so they could slaughter your people at will. All Sponsored by Barack Obama, then lie about it then try to cover it up. THEN tell these Latinos that ONLY OBAMA is looking out for their welfare. OBAMA has blood on his hands... The arrogance to ask for those same people to vote for him.
motherland1,
The purpose of a poll is to find out who people are voting for. It's not to ask people to vote for one candidate or another.
Let's see, the Germans had the Fatherland and the Ruskies had the Motherland ... motherland1 is a commie!
Nice try commie motherland. Tell us again how many guns were actually run across the border in Fast and Furious? Oopsie, it seems the only gun running was against direct orders by the Issa bitch whistle-blower. Please, let us in on some of your other far flung fantasies.
The panderer in chief at his best,next thing you know he'll be offering to the latinos free tacos for life,just vote for me so I can continue to destroy the country.
Wow! Look everybody a racist Tea Bagging troll. Shocking! Right? I know it's hard to believe.
I'll take a lobster roll for my vote.
If Mittens is "really" from Michigan, how come I never see him eat a coney?
No Grey Poupon? How uncivilized! I bet he does even know what a coney is. That guy is phoney!
Mittens will have what Ryan is dishing out-cheesy grits! Eat your peas, Romney! ;-)
Obama2012/ Romney1040
I thought it would be because he would look ridiculous eating it with a fork and knife.
Mustard on a coney?!?! HERESY!!!!! SACRILEGE!!!
Well, it is Mitt we're talking about after all.
Romneybot and Wonderboy are supposed to be in the area this week, wonder if they'll partake in a coney. Can't wait for Mittens to gaffe and call it a chili dog.
I wonder where the article is about us adding another 1 trillion to the natl debt is. Hmmmm Feisty will be long gone after election due to the fact that bozo loses and she will have nothing more to say.
Wrong! If that tragedy came to pass she would be still calling the Weather Vane to task. Get real.
Let's just say I was here long before this troll was born and I'll be here long after he expires! ☺
Poor Rove must be desperate and hiring GOP/TP trolls like OilyShark by the thousands. It has been a devastating two weeks for the GOP/TP.
All you have to do is look at their "born on" dates...
Not too obvious... lol
Then there's the multiple accounts they register to inflate their numbers!
Im flattered that you would think I would be worthy of Roves hiring. I dont have multiple accts just one, and calling me a troll when feisty is on every single comment of everysingle article is a pot calling the kettle black. Again no one addresses the post of bozo driving up another trillion in debt, when do you clowns want to have a serious discusion about the issues.
Not everything is a conspiracy theory lmao
Not just the LATINOS, all the other ethnic groups are more CENTER and LEFT sided ALSO.
Reason, PEOPLE are PEOPLE not NUMBERS, and are TRUE HUMANS? And the white So called AMERICANS are idiots that HAVE NOTHING for a HEART but GREED and SHYSTING PEOPLE, unable to THINK PROFOUNDLY, and incapable of OPEN MINDED THINKING all superficial, and materialist. LIKE MONEY is everything !!!!
Spoken like a true racist that you are. IF us whiteys are so greedy what is it that the illegals are coming here for..to make less money, i dont think so. We are open minded to coming over legally and paying for it like everyone else has legally
Obama's decision shows NO COMPASSION and NO JUSTICE for the 200+ Mexican citizens and the US agent that were killed as a result of Fast and Furious and for the latin community he remains as the dear leader.
Whoa, with enthusiasm down just as he was counting on X number of Latino votes, it's starting to look like Obama's going to have to immigrate some more voters.
Goes hand and hand with their belief of not having an ID to vote.
Show me ten cases of in person voter fraud.
You'd quicker find a gay republican than in person voter fraud.
start by looking in airport bathrooms...
How about rest stops? Voting is a basic american right, all you have to do is have id to prove who you are, that simple. Poor people get free photo ids, so whats the problem
wait a sec, are the libs against gay republicans for being gay? Sure seem to be taking a lot of shots.
Latinos are no the only ones without interest in the election. For every vote Obama thinks he's going to get from the Hispanics, I bet there are a lot of voters like me that won't vote for him because of his pandering.
Funny how a Minnesota Democrat got arrested with his zipper down (literally) having sex with a 17yr old boy.
jim, You're a Demfrom MN? Who knew?

"federal prosecutors convicted only 86 people for voter fraud . . . " - from "The Nation" April 4, 2010
Obama is the consummate liar who will further his own warped agenda at the expense of the American people and think nothing of it. Truth is a foreign language to him, as foreign as the notion of duty, honor, country. He is dangerous and needs to be voted out of office
Calling President Obama names just shows how much of a moron you are, you lie about the issues (too much faux news channel, you should think about opening up your mind instead of closing it), call him a two-bit community organizer (what have you ever done for your community other than sit behind your computer monitor where you can anonymously talk crap), you turn a discussion into a bash party because you have nothing to offer of substance outside of your racially inspired hate mongering. Our President has made great strides forward for our nation in spite of the GOP policy who do nothing for the people they are suppose to represent...they are suppose to represent the people but only represent the wealthy. Last I checked, the wealthy are doing just fine with record profits, the only thing they trickle down is job loss, outsourcing...want to know why??? so they can continue to get rich while the people who contribute to their wealth only get poor, lose their houses because of job creation being stunted by obstructionist GOPers who are only interested in making their own pockets fat. Sheldon Adelson wants to have a friend for president so he doesn't go to prison for his racketeering, see what he makes from Chinese gambling in the casinos he has in Macau. Far as the border goes, 3000 more border patrol agents and record deportations speak for his diligence, far better record than his predecessor and more vigilant that even that jerk sheriff Apio down in Arizona (who spends all his time chasing birther fantasies instead of the job he is paid to do in law enforcement). So all said and done, go back to your motherland, seig heil you fascist, go goose step...Oh, that's right, even Germany is a democratic society now...you know...that thing the GOP is trying to end in America...they want an oligarchy.
Lets look at Obama's legacy. A two-bit community organizer, a run for Illinois Senate bankrolled by domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, losing Illinois senate race until Chicago style politics unearths divorce records of opponent. The Hope and Change president, $6 trillion in new debt in 4 years, most ever by any President or world leader, ever! Which results in 2% growth and 8+% unemployment and nearly half the country receiving a government check.
Wow! What a hater. Your life must really suck. How have the last few years been for you? If you had money to invest you should be doing pretty well I should think. Despite your diatribe of lies the country is improving from the horrible Bush legacy. I know we have prospered as small business owners. Obama may win another four years you know. What ever will you do then? Oh dear.
Not to worry. When we rid ourselves of the Kenyan Calamity in Nov. America will bounce back.
we survived W you'll survive Obama,...4 more 4 44!
America will bounce back.
Don't you mean, Wall Street will go back to the same games that backfired in 2007, putting us in athe worse financial crisis since the Great Depression. We are just now getting out of that hole - why, why, why, would we go back to Bushian policies?
Motherland - I remind you that Jesus Christ was a community organizer and a die hard liberal. No doubt you would have treated him the same way.
Lefty Sucker - Get off the birther nonsense, it makes everything else you post incredible.
He is your commander in chief, elected by a majority in this nation. Your fear of others not like you is evident in your language. You are part of the problem, you should educate others of your ideas not spread talking points. We all live here, but these messages are increasingly tribal. If Romney wins in November I will not whine like baby, I will accept that my friends, family, and neighbors have spoken through their right to vote.
If legal voters are not allowed to vote, and that scenario plays out to be a win for Romney in a close election.... gonna be a fight. When our elections can't be trusted we are no better off than afganistan.
Everything that Motherland posted about Obama's Chicago career is true, I know, I live there & all you libbies can do is resort to name calling & pulling out race cards. Typical.
Obama loses the Senate race, and typical of Chicago politics gets in on a technicality after a strong arm. Then his protegee Blagojevich lands in jail right after Obama runs for the presidency on more Chicago style politics.....selling off seats to the highest bidder. More strong arming.
Illinois is so backwards economically, unemployment is skyrocket, the budget is history - and typical of libbies they start laying off education because they blew the wad on social programs to help the poor then ensuring they'll vote so they can get re-elected.
Everything the liberals touch goes straight into the crap pile just like this country thanks to them taking over Washington in 2006. Reid & Pelosi deserve death by firing squad.
And instead of Obozo working with Congress like Reagan did when Tip O'Neill lead congress and get stuff done, all he can do is whine & cry and blow taxpayer money on crap like Solyndra.
Get this piece of trash out of Washington now! Maybe then we can start drilling for oil instead of paying $4.50/gal for gas!
I'll also remind you Reagan took over for that piece of crap Carter.....the absolute worst President in this country's history until Obozo came along.
Carter devastated this country with his crap policies.....and left Reagan to pick up the pieces. Thank God he did or who knows where this country would be.....I suppose bought back by the Mexicans!!!
How come the GOP memories only go back as far as Carter? They seem to forget the boys that were in before, Ford and Nixon.
NIXON. Own up to it.
Hey Detroit.....I see your city is doing wonderful after years of libbie control.
Enjoy!
Try to stay on topic Steve, I know it's hard when you have nothing.
NIXON. Own up to it.
You stay on Topic.....post 11 & 11.7
Own up to it.
Another demonstration of your inattentiveness:
post 11.8, YOUR post was what I was commenting on. So what happened to Nixon? Did you guys force him to "retire retroactively"?
As a Chicagoan I can say with certainty that everything Laker Steve posts is a damned lie. President Obama has been a very good President and would have done much better had the Republicans in Congress not vowed - on day one - to block every effort he made on anything.
Motherland posts nothing but lies and innuendo - nothing supported by facts - all supported by her ignorance and hatred of anything that isn't just like her, small minded, stupid and easily led around by her nose.
Being a hypocritical Republican Steve can't face the fact that his beloved treasonous liars in the Congress are the reason we haven't recovered from the recession quicker.
Being the liar that he is Steve can't admit that the GOP in Chicago is no different than the Democrats - they each have their flaws.
Oh and to the idiots who keep bringing up Ayers - President Obama met him when he was teaching Constitution Law at University of Chicago. They were not great friends but mere acquaintances.
Now Steve, crawl back under your rock. We don't like you in Chicago either!
Obama/Biden 2012
Oh my. I do see some truth in seeking's comments. Actually not truth, but almost correct use of punctuation.
That's a step "forward"!
commonamerican1 - you wouldn't know truth (or correct punctuation) if it bit you in the a**!

@ Seeking
Everything I post is a lie? Here's your Illinois unemployment rate above national average: (lets even forget about people not included due to lost benefits):
http://www.google.com/publicdata/explore?ds=z1ebjpgk2654c1_&met_y=unemployment_rate&idim=state:ST170000&fdim_y=seasonality:S&dl=en&hl=en&q=illinois+unemployment+rate
Here's Illinois' budget:
http://www.usdebtclock.org/state-debt-clocks/state-of-illinois-debt-clock.html
http://www.kirk.senate.gov/pdfs/finalreportupdateildebt.pdf
And if Obama was any kind of LEADER instead of a glorified communty ORGANIZER, he would learn to WORK WITH Congress (He still owns the majority) instead of HIS OWN PARTY shooting down his miserable ideas and policies!
AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE A BUDGET!!!
WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY!!
After two innings of play:
Laker Steve ... 2 , Speeking Insanity ... 0.
Sorry libbie, Obama has failed to work with an opposing House as Clinton did and he has NO EXCUSES for the Democrat controlled Senate. He is also FACTUAL in saying we still don't have a budget ... even though our national debt has increased about $5 trillion under his mismanagement. Obama is a financial clu$terfu— — .
Jim WHAT??? Are you seriously suggesting that our House of Representatives have made any effort whatsoever to work with our President??? That would be a switch seeing as how all the have had any time to do is to crawl up every vagina in the USA and seek command and control of it. Outside of that they only seek to disenfranchise any voter who might just vote in favor of any democratic legislation or candidate. If President Obama actually grew a Hitler mustache like the right wing and Tea Party have painted him wearing, why heck, I think you fascist would probably vote for him.
As usual, you libbies back away from financial issues like a "crawdad on steroids" .... seems like you are overly fascinated with vaginas as well.
Your beloved imperial potentate Obama set the tone early " ... you can come along for the ride, but you 'gotta sit in the back of the bus". Then when Scott Brown won the Senate seat in Massachusetts it was President Barack Hussein Obama who DISENFRANCHISED Scott Brown's vote on Obamacare ..... abusing "reconciliation" along the way ..... based upon badly bogused numbers to make it appear revenue neutrality.
The House has passed numerous bills as designed in the Constitution. Obama's henchman Harry Reid has OBSTRUCTED these bills from even being presented for consideration. Harry is simply doing Obama's bidding. Then when Obama cannot get HIS mandates made into law, Obama has arbitrarily created executive orders to ignore existing laws he does not like.
It is OBAMA who has the instincts of a dictator.
Those Republicans sound dumb and dumber. And, they want to govern this country. The only way they will win is to steal and block votes which is very possible in a few states.
They are trying that in about 20 or more states.
My only questions are:
Who are heck are the 28% of Latinos that are planning on voting for Myth Romney?
and... Why on Earth would they do that?
they won't , not the one's in the U.S.
The ones who are here legally and working hard, paying taxes, and tired of all the give aways of welfare and 2 years of unenjoyment. Oh and let's not forget food stamps.
Only 28% of Latino's or Mescans have brains
If, I was Latino would vote for Obama, that welfare he is handing out makes me wish the f*ck I was Mexican. You can live real good on those handouts, you can even cheat the IRS, and not have to worry about it.
Latinos work for a living. They are not the dependent people many of you think they are and they want to have a reasonable guest worker program that does not leave immigrants on the fringes of society.
What has Osambo done for Latinos?
He is the Deporter-in-chief President who has sent more people back than the last three Presidents combined.
What has he done for working middle class latinos? Nothing.
He can keep the hope because all we are getting is the small change.
It amazes me how many idiots have parroted this lie.
The Bush administration deported 2X the number of illegals that the Obama administration has(Bush 2 Million, Obama 1 Million). The Bush administration returned 9X the number of illegals that the Obama administration has (Bush 9 Million, Obama 900K) . Overall the Bush administration moved 5X the number of illegals outside the US borders that the Obama administration has (Bush 10 Million, Obama 2 Million).
The only 1st's for Obama in respect to illegal aliens is:
1- President Obama is the 1st President with illegal alien relatives living in the US evading deportation orders
2 - President Obama has granted deferred action status and work permits to 2X more illegal aliens than he has deported.
57% of illegals receive some form of government assistance. This does not count education, free medical (via the emergency room). Nor does it count the societal costs of crime, uninsured drivers, deprotations.
That buys a lot of votes!
Today's news: No wonder he's big with latinos...
Illegal immigrants could receive more than $7 billion this year in federal tax credits, according to one estimate, thanks to a loophole in the law that allows people not authorized to work to reap the government payments with no questions asked, through a provision known as the Additional Child Tax Credit. That's more than quadruple what the payout was four years ago, but the payments have been steadily increasing over the past decade.
A quirk in the law allows them to qualify for the child tax credit. And it's a "refundable" credit, meaning recipients can reap the money -- with average checks totaling about $1,800 -- even if they've paid no taxes.
An aide to Sessions, R-Ala., the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said the issue is a "serious matter that deserves attention" and another sign of how "Washington is disconnected from reality."
Illegal immigrants can qualify because even people not authorized to work in the U.S. are supposed to file returns with the IRS. If they don't have a Social Security number, they are provided what's known as an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number in order to file returns.
And those filers are not excluded from claiming the Additional Child Tax Credit, which is offered to some families with children under 17 years old.
The IG report last year recommended that Congress pass legislation to "clarify" whether the tax credits should actually be paid to those not authorized to work in the U.S.
Sessions co-sponsored a bill earlier this year to bar illegal immigrants from receiving the credit, but the bill was blocked from reaching the floor by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
Does this seem right to ANYONE? Your tax dollars down the tubes.... Obama needs to go!
OMG! A tax loophole not designed for the wealthy. This loophole will live in infamy! Somebody call out the National Guard.
do you really believe anything the repug , racist party has to say ,,,, about anything , women , climate , aca , minorities , what is they're record on all these ??
What is this loophole you speak of? Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

Can You - can you spell stupidity and ignorance because you can sure post a lot of it!
Obama/Biden 2012
Seeking won't accept the facts. Your Hairy Reed blocked the IG recommendation. I wonder why. Hairy, Obama's "tight end".
Can You Spell Socialism - You got that one right, and obviously Democrats would rather give American Tax Payer dollars to the Latinos to get their votes... The rest of the story is that they can claim as many kids as they want to with this TIN number and nobody checks to make sure they're not lying that they have 4 kids for instance... Democrats need to take the their blinders off, ever notice that when the facts don't fit their agenda they attack and deflect since they have no good answer like (SeekingSanity)... That's what you can expect when you're only news source is Obamas mouth piece. Partially informed and unquestioning, that's the voter Obama wants on his side. ~(:>)
The tax returns the illegals get here in Texas, average around $5000.00. They get the child tax credit and earned income credit. I need me one of those ITIN numbers, and change my last name to Rodrigues. The Mexican Govt. is handing out our welfare applications, how funny is that.
The Latino and the Women's vote will be the real reason Obama wins re-election.
An Independent friend of mine says Obama won re-election when bin Laden was executed. Just saying.
Amy, I doubt very much if the killing of Bin Laden will even be a factor in this election. What might and should be a factor is that we are still in Afghanistan well over a year after the death of OBL and his top lieutenants (the reason we went to Afghanistan in the first place). The number of Americans killed just went over 2000, the majority were killed since Obama became President. You just don't see much about Afghanistan anymore since Obama became President. The MSM is giving Obama a pass on the war. 60 plus Americans killed in the past two years by Afghanistan police and military personnel we are training and arming. It is time to get out now, to hell with 2014 and to hell with Obama's promise to continue spending billions trying to prop up a worthless Afghanistan government. The Taliban will take over as soon as we leave, so let's get out now.
The Latinos/illegals might be the reason Obama wins re-election, Lmao... not
Like this headline shocks anyone. I can not wait till Nov.
Why wouldn't they support obama? Now we are seeing reports from the IRS and the GAO that illegal immigrants are receiving about 7 billion in tax refunds on taxes they did not pay thanks to a liberal loophole that allows them to claim children that are not even in this country.
God may have blessed America but obama has certainly been a curse upon us.
You can't blame them, Our Govt. and the Mexican Govt. are running ad's telling them to apply for all the welfare benefits.
They are the smart ones. They understand the Republican Party do not represent the entire America.
You have to admit tho that "Self Deportation" is funny!!!
This is the bad news people, or the funny news if you see it as such. For the past 4 years the mainstream media (NBC, CBC, ABC, and yes, even FOX) at times have knelt down and felated the "commander in chief" they've ignored all the scandals (fast and furious, Valerie Jarret, and now Iran cash) and led us, the American public to believe that Obama is our savior and he will lead us to where the US needs to be. Now comes the funny or sad part.....On November 7th, I believe with all my heart, that we will wake up with a new President. And all the MSMs hard work will fall to the ground. The public will be left wondering how we could have been duped. Believe what you want to believe about what they tell you to believe or you can go researching yourself, but you'll be sorely disappointed otherwise.
Romney/Ryan 2012
hey il remember dubya , and cheney the war criminals who murdered American soldiers , for something called wmd's , President Obama is trying to end this killing of our children !
The terminology "weapons of mass destruction" started with Bill Clinton and Madeleine "not-so-bright".
Congress authorized the Iraqui war and Afghanistan military actions. Obama attacked Libya with no authorization from Congress, wasting about $1 billion on a civil war where our national security interests were not at risk.
Next !
Both choices are HORRIBLE to say the least. I guess it will be a matter of which one is the least of the two evils for the "independents," whatever that means. How could you be an "independent" in this election?
The Repukes would vote for anyone their party put up, and most Democraps will continue to swallow Bambam's platitudes, knowing in their hearts that he is to the right of every president since and including Reagan.
As an uber liberal, the Obamination will not get my vote.
I'm going third party or none of the above until this country comes to its senses.
thanks, he won't need it , take it to arizona , and stay there !!!!
I am a hispanic and was wondering where these 300 so called Latinos came from? How do they know that these weren't whites saying they were Latinos? Well this one REAL hispanic is NOT voting for Obama and the joke of a VP Biden....
How do we know you're really hispanic?
OH-rhino - we can't even guarantee me31 is human.
Obama/Biden 2012
Yeah, but we know what you are .... an Obama bootlicker who believes the incompetent disaster from Chicago is our savior.
BARF BAG PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen...A latino who is not looking for a hand out...sweet
Ever wonder why unemployment is still over 8%? Obama's policy regarding Mexican entitlements. Relocate to the US, vote for me and I'll find you a job w/social security benefits, free education, food stamps, government housing and free medical and it doesn't cost you a penny! We'll just slap it on the backs of the poor slobs we call the working middle class of America. That's how my economic plan works.
You're doing a bang up job Barry Soetoro. Your communist mentors and grandparents should be proud. Your name will be celebrated along side Karl Marx.
I do not wonder. I know it is because of the obstructionist right wing nut jobs in the Congress...
Top Drum...no matter what you try and tell these lemmings they will not listen...in a few years this entire country will be swallowed by Hispanics and they will be the dominant race and there will not be enough resources to take care of them...it's going to get ugly....liberal whites...liberal blacks watch and see and don't say I didn't warn you. Your going to lose the greatest country to illegal immigrants all because some liberal wanted votes....and people are too stupid to realize that you mean nothing to them...empty promises people....just empty promises...so so sad.
I'm my brother's keeper, says Barack Obama. George Obama, stepbrother of the POTUS, living in a hut in Kenya, has most recently called upon his stepbrother (the POTUS) for some financial assistance regarding a possible medical issue. The POTUS's response was, "why is he calling me?" Barack Obama, the humanitarian and loving brother.
Obama never had a father from Kenya...his real father is Frank Davis and his mother was forced to marry a man from Kenya so that Obama's mother wouldn't get her father in trouble because Frank Davis was tied to communist activities and her father worked for the government...some CIA or FBI or something like that. Frank Davis lived in Hawaii that's where he met Obama's mother. Obama looks nothing ...absolutely nothing like Obama his dad and nothing like his brothers or sisters ...he sticks out like an orange in a basket full of apples. He keeps saying his father was a sheep herder in Kenya...LOL...your so gullible if you believe that you will believe anything. He looks exactly like his dad...Frank Davis. You can see the documentary that tells it all..
Oh Honey,
Did you run out of your meds? Don't worry - because of President Obama you can get a refill.
Hurry along now.
Oh, Kathy?
Don't forget to mention that there were additional shooters on the grassy knoll...
RICO
Me either
