President Barack Obama is someone who truly cares about everyone.

He backs away from nothing, and faces events square on.

Our President is an extraordinary leader with rare abilities to master situations as they arise, with grace.

President Obama is a true leader; he's not afraid to tackle the tough challenges. Excellent speech.

Seriously Seeking? Don't you think Obama has his hands full now?

If the answer is no, then why didn't he live up to his promises? He admitted that he failed the immigrants, that he CAN'T change Washington from the inside. Sounds more like a crybaby than a president. i WONDER if they have a "Blame" meter, I can't imagine any previous president using the finger pointing more than this guy!

Oh, and telling the Republicans to sit in the back of the bus, lol, what a leader!

Reading something like this makes me realize, once again, how fortunate I've been in my life, having parents who would have laid down their lives for their children and who taught us the value of each and every person.

That President Obama chose to focus on this horrible problem says so much about him, not only as a President, but as a man of true values. His commitment to EVERY person is just one of the many reasons he has to be re-elected.

sirie - the fact that you have blinders on in regard to this President and his many good accomplishments just shows what a narrow minded individual you are - not able to separate your hatred from reason.

Obama/Biden 2012

not able to separate your hatred from reason.

when did disagreeing turn into hate? explain that reasoning?

Seeking needs to go out on a date - she is getting that funny aura about turning into an old maid...

Whenever president Obama speaks so forcefully about issues such as this, which I have a bit of professional experience on, I get goose bumps. The man is a president that is for 100% of the people no matter what walk of life they are from. That is my president, and he makes me proud!

4 more4 44!

Doesn't President Obama and Democrats support the "Occupy" movement?

Are Occupy Oakland Members in Favor of Sex Trafficking? Wait Until You See What They Did

On June 13, apparent members of Occupy Oakland staged a counter-protest at the H.E.A.T. (Human Exploitation and Trafficking) conference to end human exploitation and trafficking.

Why on earth would they do that? While the Occupy movement has long struggled with having a cohesive message, some of the signs indicated that rescuing girls from lives of prostitution constitutes racism, and that the police and “patriarchy” shouldn’t have control over such matters.

SOLIDARITY WITH SEX WORKERS MEANS SHUTTING DOWN THE H.E.A.T CONFERENCE

from Oakland Occupy Patriarchy

The H.E.A.T. conference is a conference of pigs and their nonprofit lackeys to increase the harassment, imprisonment, marginalization and criminalization of sex workers. Fronting as a conference against “child trafficking,” this conference brings pigs and nonprofits together to develop policing strategies that line their pockets while leaving sex workers exploited and disempowered. Pigs and nonprofits hide behind lies about “safety” and “protection” while they profit off the incarceration and “reformation” of sex workers.
These pigs and nonprofits neurotically plug their ears to the fact they themselves are exactly the reason sex work can exist. Sex work, like all forms of work, can only exist within a society based on
hierarchical economic systems like capitalism, which are protected by the police and patronizing reformist organizations that keep exploited people from revolting. The pigs are the enemies of sex workers, and of all workers.

LET’S SHUT THIS F#@$%ER DOWN

Converge Wed. 6/13 at 1 PM at Oakland’s downtown Marriott Convention Center at Broadway and 11th.

Wear a bright colored face covering in solidarity

Why hasn't Obama Spoken out against the occupy Movement? The rapes, arrests, Damage to public and Private property ,riots, shutting down ports which is economic terrorism, disrespect of our laws and communities, Burning the American Flag etc. done by the "Occupiers", and yet where supposed to believe he is some savior because he spoke out once about one issue that "Occupiers" protest against?

sirie - that's sooooo not a problem in my life. Deflecting again are ya?

Obama/Biden 2012

To have our President actually talk about it moves it to the forefront of issues -

Yeah, this is so much more important than the worst long term unemployment since the Great Depression, Iran, the greatest state sponsor of terrorism getting the bomb and other little "bumps in the road", huh.

Again, our President makes me proud when he tackles the tough topics.

So true .... everyone is so in favor human trafficking, right?

He backs away from nothing, and faces events square on.

Like our embassies in 20 countries being attacked ... flags being burned and replaced with AlQaeda flags .... an Ambassador, a diplomat and 2 SEALs being killed .....

And Obama "faces" it by going campaigning ... takes events "square on" by going on the Letterman show .... going on the View .... ???

Nice box of tools we have here at FR.

Hilarious, it looks like the media noticed that everyone was starting to give 0bama sh!t for not doing his job as president so now they are putting out articles about him left and right to portray him as anything but the campaigner and chief.

Nice box of tools we have here at FR.

only the finest.

Seeking needs to go out on a date

or just grow up

I love how libs think Obama "cares" simply because Obama gives great, vacuous speeches and promises to give parasites free stuff paid for with other people's money so they will vote for him and provide him the greatest standard of living the world has known.

OK, Obama is back to promising mode. Probably will be broken ones if he gets elected again.

He is also going to raise revenues, that is taxes in liberal language.

SeekingSanity - no answer from you yet. Cat got your tongue?

Seeking, I agree with all of your posts on this thread. Human trafficing goes on all over the world and we all need to get involved to help stop it. My daughter did a report on this when she was in high school and since then we have both contributed to the cause as well as assisted in our communities with the homeless.

Obama/Biden 2012 - way to go!

SeekingSanity: Reading something like this makes me realize, once again, how fortunate I've been in my life, having parents who would have laid down their lives for their children and who taught us the value of each and every person.

My father did; the day after the Japanese bomb us. And he raised liberal minded offspring.

Obama/Biden 2012

Obama calls to fight human trafficking

Oh darn, you know what this means? Romney and Ryan will be all for
human trafficking now. :)

And he raised liberal minded offspring.

I am so sorry. truly you have my sympathy. should have raised moderate minded individuals

He admitted that he failed the immigrants

LOL

Obama never said no such thing. Where the hell do you people get this crap from, Rush's toilet?

You OBVIOUSLY either didn't hear his interview OR read the transcript. You guys just twist the crap out of things he said to the point of stupidity.

If Republicans ever want to help Obama speed up the recovery, he'll be there.

If Republicans ever want to pass a jobs or infrastructure bill, Obama will be there.

If Republicans want to solve the "fiscal cliff" budget problem, Obama will be there.

We do have a system of government that demands passage of legislation by the House and the Senate before the President can sign it into law.

Until they pass something, President Obama will try to fix what he can by executive order, will call attention to pressing problems that need to be solved, and will campaign for his re-election.

I applaud the President for his efforts.

I am saddened by Republican obstructionism. They haven't put country first since Bush left office.

I am dismayed at Romney's campaign of lies and no solutions. I am constantly surprised that Romney apologists keep up the fight on behalf of their candidate who has done a pretty lousy job in this campaign. I can only conclude here that it may be hatred of Obama that drives them in their fight for Romney.

OK, Obama is back to promising mode. Probably will be broken ones if he gets elected again.

I'll take his promises over Romney's pseudo-facts and lies any day.

Obama did do many of what he said he would. I never expected 100%, not with morons from the Tea Baggicans ruining the House.

No ruining is not a typo, I meant it.

I bet you freedom loving Liberals haven't the slightest of what your King is doing?

Obama/Biden2012

This is the 21st Century and someone is so backward and uninformed that they think we still have a king. We dumped the king back in 1776 or haven't you heard?

I am pleased that President Obama has brought this issue front and center. He cares where his sociopath opponent has demonstrated that he doesn't care. Romney doesn't care about classmates thought to be gay or the family pet. He doesn't care about the lives of hard working people (Bain VULTURE Capital and the comments about the 47%). Before long we'll hear many more times when Willard Mitt Romney will show us his true colors where he is out of touch and doesn't care.

Cynthia - thank you for posting the Snopes link to again prove the right will stoop to any level to defame the President. No lie is beneath them!

Obama/Biden 2012

And your reply to Executive Order NDRP?

Being against slavery is a non-controversial, no brainer. He ought to take a stand as strong against fundamental muslim jihadists and quit blaming obscure video's. We were attacked on 9/11 and weren't prepared!

@ David Noah
From the piece that you posted I gathered that the Occupiers were saying that the government and, our economic system, are what lead to human trafficking. They were expressing their frustration at the government speaking out against human trafficking when they believe that the government enables it. They were not saying that they were for human trafficking or slavery. Reading comprehension skills seem to be on the decline these days

Being against slavery is a non-controversial, no brainer. He ought to take a stand as strong against fundamental muslim jihadists and quit blaming obscure video's.

And yet another dishonest or ignorant ranter.

Wouldn't it be nice if you and your compadres actually used truth and facts instead of flat out lies.

Obama SAID: "What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests,”

Well now, completely different when you read the context of what he actually said.

STOP LYING!

SNOPES, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, Politico, Huff...who ISN'T in the hip pocket of the White House?

You debunked nothing, Cynthia

SNOPES, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, Politico, Huff...who ISN'T in the hip pocket of the White House?

You debunked nothing, Cynthia

You just made yourself look like a fool.

Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."

An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:

1. Person A makes claim X.
2. Person B makes an attack on person A.
3. Therefore A's claim is false.

RageAgainstThem, Ah, so many conspiracy theories, so much fear mongering... here ya go! You should know this was discussed at length back in March? I have seen various libertarians beating that dead horse again -maybe I should take pictures this time! ;-)

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ndrp.asp

Obama/Biden2012

RageAgainstThem - OMG - yes, everyone is on Obama's payroll - in his hip pocket, etc. Can you say paranoia???? Please go see a doctor. You truly need professional help. And, no, no one is following you - that's your shadow!

Obama/Biden 2012

Waiting for your response to Executive Order NDRP, or NDAA, or the resigning of the Patriot Act by Obama.

Again President Obama Shows to be everything Romney is not and that's a Leader, thank you Mr. Obama for keeping us out of a "W" fueled Depression !!!

obama is a racist, he talking about slavery then his wife says they live in the whitehouse what slaves built,here comes the race card again. i never seen a pres. who would do whatever or say whatever just so he can get 4 more years.what a leader.

whit11 - then you're too young to remember Reagan who was nicknamed the "Teflon President" no matter what he said or did, nothing stuck!

Again, our President makes me proud when he tackles the tough topics.

And on the other hand, wants to give illegals rights when they get here. Did they all come over on their own, or did they have help in a truck full of their fellow countrymen? That, my friend, is also trafficking.

Unfortunately, Obama's authoritarian grant of rewards and special treatment for immigration lawbreaking will only serve to engender the very problem he purports to repudiate--- human trafficking (into the U.S.).

This pledge to grant amnesty and rewards incident to lawbreaking is unacceptable and abhorrent to most Americans (including this life-long Democrat). As evidenced by Reagan's (in that instance, approved by Congress) grant of amnesty to the then 3-4 Million ILLEGAL FOREIGN NATIONALS, granting rewards and special treatment to the immigration lawbreakers only serves to incentivize MILLIONS MORE illegal foreign nationals (and millions of human trafficking law violations).

Obama - "I'm against obvious stuff that that is wrong that everyone agrees with."

Romney - "I'm probably going to say something stupid about something obvious and then stand by it."

OBAMA 2012!

Certainly a notable cause but Mr. President if I may make a suggestion: Could you FIRST fix the economy and secure our national security? Oh, that's right - you can't.

You were forced to change your slogan from "Yes We Can" to "No I Couldn't". Economy is tanking due to your failed policies, your foreign policy has shown incredible weakness and we are now more at risk than even during the Jimmy Carter years, and your need to be "eye candy" on The View is critical.

So what's left? Speak out about Human Trafficking? Good idea and on a list of the top 50 most critical items for the survival of our economy and country maybe it is number 49. But since you failed on points 1 - 48 I guess all you have left is human trafficking - and will somehow find a way to fail at that too.

So, just out of curiosity, what is number 50? Will you find a way to fail at that too?

The president is still saying "Yes we can."

Republican congress is still saying "No, we won't let you."

The president can SAY "Yes We Can" but he couldn't. Part of the responsibility of being a leader is to bring all groups together and discuss and debate all sides. Obama has failed at that. In fact Obama doesn't even care to speak to his own advisors, meet with his own CIA, or even look at his own CIA reports.

Obama has NEVER had a discussion with the Republicans. He demands. That is not a leader. That is a bully. That is a Community Organizer. That is a FAILURE!!

Well since being a party of No seems to have won you over maybe that's a winning strategy. So all parties should practice it and then highlight how the one in charge couldn't bring them together.

Is that what you want? Two parties that never compromise ever and nothing ever changes or evolves.

If nothing else I want Obama reelected so this idea of being a party of No proves to be a loser.

Comeon: If you wanted to see the ORIGINAL party of No it was in 2007 when Democrats said "No" to EVERY policy George Bush wanted to do - and we saw how the Democrat party of "No" helped then: it created the worst economic collapse since the Great Depression. Thanks a lot Democrats.....

You should be thanking Republicans because if it wasn't for us saying "No" now Obama would initiate further damaging policies that would collapse this economy even further. Your welcome......

My friend that's majoring in law, in the state of Wisconsin, sent me this text message:

"A half-black President railing against slavery. You just know that white supremacists in the GOP Tea Party will block Obama's proposal to end human trafficking, "...just because they miss the good ole' days of the Confederacy that profited from an agricultural plantation slavery economy. Man, even today, they still need to force those underpaid immigrants picking the crops in their fields, to work faster!"

LOL, except you need to use the word "aircraft" for real Mitt-ness impact.

We know where the GOPTP will shake out on this. While they may have been against human trafficking, they will most certainly be for it simply because Obama has said he is against it. No doubt tomorrow, Liz Cheney and Limbaugh will be screaming from their pulpits that Obama is using big government to stop their kiddie trafficking. By next week, the Bible Belt will be shouting the Muslim president is against human trafficking, thus as Christians, they are for human trafficking, dedicating an hour of church time to fast paced auctions. That is the lunacy of the of the right these days. No common sense, but by God, anything Obama stands against, they are for it, lock, stock, and barrel, and all in the name of GOD.

every once in a while, you might talk about the issues facing Americans. The drivel about what Mitt said or what Akin did can only go so far.

Obama 2012 - More finger pointing than ever!

This time he may actually start pointing the finger at himself!

This time he may actually start pointing the finger at himself!

I inherited this mess from my predessessor LOL

@RedDevPS

Thanks for the laugh!

LOL, that will be something to watch

We definitely need roll up windows on "aircraft" so that we can make sure that when we see trees we can stick our heads out the window to make sure that we like the height of the trees. Oh, and look at those clouds. Look at the beautiful things. LOL The man does it to himself. His family is right about one thing, the man is funny!

AlaskaGirl - just make sure none of "those people" are on the plane with Mitt or Annie. You know how they just hate to be among "those people." And, it's soooo hard to campaign.

Obama/Biden 2012

What's with all these stupid flamingos everywhere. Is it a sign that you are all throwing in the towel? You do know that flamingos are a sign of weakness and giving up when things get too tough.

Well, Seeking Sanity, Mitannie need "those people" to serve them! Whatever will they do? They must have "those people", otherwise Mitannie will have to roll the windows down themselves!

Yes its amazing how noble he is during an election.

Elliot, the flamingo represents grace and poise, two words not known in the Republican party, I know, but I think it is important to help folks like yourself to become educated. You're welcome.

AlaskaGirl - OMG - can you imagine a job worse than working for Mitannie???? Yuck! She'd complain about everything and he wouldn't understand anything. No thank you! I'm afraid I'd be tempted to "roll their airplane windows down - at 25,000 feet!"

And Elliot the flamingos are in remembrance and honor of Phinephancy who lost her battle with cancer recently. And, actually, they are a sign of grace and serenity.

Obama/Biden 2012

OMG, Seeking Sanity, I did not know that! I am so sorry for the loss of Phinephancy. That is so sad.

RIP Phinephancy. Your refreshing comments will surely be missed.

On a lighter note, I would rather remove my fingernails with a pair of pliers than to ever have to work for the likes of "those people"! How do you like my switch-a-roo?! All I can say is that one of us would be going out the roll down window, and I can say with complete certainty that it "ain't" gonna be me! LOL

Elliot,

Its a tribute to Phine. She loved her pink flamingos.

You will also see avatars supporting Feisty, don't ask.

chilled - Oh PLEASE let them open the window!

Obama/Biden 2012

I have no idea what someone like sirie is saying. The ignore feature is such a wonderful tool! My "ignore" list has grown considerably these last couple of weeks! It is so nice not to see such ignorant comments from these right wing nut bags!

Thanks for having my back, Seeking! And, that, my friends is the difference between Republicans and Democrats!

chilled - Oh PLEASE let them open the window!

That's funny!....

Maybe those tax returns were onboard..banking to the hard right.......and then swoosh, they're gone along with lots of other stuff!

i think this latest move by BO, while noble, clearly indicates that he suffers from ADHD. He cannot stick with an issue long enough to get anything done. how many times did he say that jobs were his #1 priority? i lost count.

Alaska - I don't have too many on ignore - Concern, Kirk and I think one more. I basically read the others and mentally ignore.

sirie has suddenly gone sour and is losing it rapidly. And, CA - well he's over the cliff!

I must say you are giving Alaska a better impression than Sarah did!!!!

Just a little shout in .... Elk is actually a decent meat! High in protein and low in fat ... it's pretty good for your brain, sirie.

Re: Ignore ... the one to ignore to make your reading on the threads more pleasant is elliot. Those epistles of his! GAH!

Back to topic ....

Way to go Mr. President!

billybob - you DO realize the President has to deal with a number of issues all at the same time, right? You DO realize that when Republicans in congress block everything he tries to do about the economy and jobs that it makes it impossible to get those things done, right? You DO realize we're kicking the Republicans to the curb in November, right????

Obama/Biden 2012

Oh, Thank you! Yeah, I feel like I need to right the wrongs that Sarah inflicted on my wonderful state! Damage control!

@ Layton: Oh, Elliott went on ignore last week! LOL

Elk is actually a decent meat! High in protein and low in fat ...

Since we're totally off topic now, I've actually made Elk Chili before and it is dang good! :)

Enjoy your evenings!

Ditto!

Palin is back at "Dance with the Stars" Wonder if her dirtbag mother is going to call all her tea wacko friends and rig the Votes like last time !!!!

OMG, Seeking Sanity, I did not know that! I am so sorry for the loss of Phinephancy. That is so sad.

I will also miss Phine for her respect for both sides of the argument. However, I find the Fiesty buttons in the avatar a bit of a stretch. She broke the rules (again) and got suspended for a week. A bit of a stretch but, all the libs on here depend on her lead to know which talking points to look up and cut and paste.

Witness #3 below.

@caesar - you ever heard of the word fillibuster? This is the most I've EVER seen Republicans pull that garbage in the congressional hearings. THAT is all of the evidence you'll ever need. Any time a Democrat brought a bill to the table, Republicans did the fillibuster move. If you knew anything about politics or watched any of the congressional or senate hearings, you would know that this pact is very real.

@Caesar - did you read about the bill to ban styrofoam banned in the congress cafeteria? It was a bill brought by Democrats designed to benefit EVERYONE however republicans all shot it down. This is an example of how it went down the majority of the time. Find an old congressional hearing tape and watch that sh!t. I don't see how anyone who was paying any attention these past 4 years could argue that Obama didn't have the Republicans as an additional roadblock for progress.

It just isn't the same without her!

Yep ... It's nice, it's refreshing, it's great ....

Actually Bob, you could go away and no one would notice.

Lyn, KCMO, she should be back tomorrow afternoon.

Actually Bob, you could go away and no one would notice.

this would be true but the flip side is its hard not to notice when Hans Gruber is gone

Feisty who??

Classic!

Actually Bob, you could go away and no one would notice.

So true. I am certainly no JoAnnaSmith or no joe .... and please forgive me for posting again .... but, didn't my comment get about 40% more "notice" than yours ... on a lib site?

Anyway, my apologies to everyone.

The Confuse Feisty RedHead got hurt she fell off a tree while raking the leaves.

I miss her also. Get ready for lots of insults. She must be in withdrawal.

Wow, that IS thinking outside the box CC!! raking leaves in a tree, who'd a thought??

CC,

How in the hell do you rake leaves in the tree? Makes sense falling and all. Maybe she should try a safer way to rake.

CC,

Are sure that the little Chihuahua didn't see a leaf "lying" on a branch ... go berserk, climb the tree and fall out?

I think all you guys fell on your heads !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And actually I heard she went through such withdrawal after her time out, tried committing suicide by jumping out her basement window.

MSNBC gave her a no-pay week off! TARP money ran out!

Tzalaran - well said and so true!

yeah, Obama can fit that issue in his agenda right after his next appearance on the view...

Let's get the shovel ready jobs for all the bulls--- that will be coming out of Berraco Obama.

The shovel ready jobs can be used for the bull that comes out SS.

SS - you must be dying to say something, but you don't have the fortitude do ya?

The President addresses the Clinton Global Initiative on addressing human trafficking while Mitt's address focused on the need to privatize (read: out-source) foreign aid. Shows their priorities.

Concern Citizen-856329

this post was about human trafficking and how i don't like the thought of it. Please take your off topic drivel elsewhere.

@ Steeler Fan

it does show priorities, and it is sad that ideology had to play into Mr. Romney's speech when the CGI is a non-partisan group trying to make the world a better place.

Tzalaran - isn't it interesting that the two past Democratic Presidents have both gone on to lives of serving the people - each in their own way. Carter is heaving involved in Habitat for Humanity as well as his own foundation. Clinton has the Global Initiatives issue.

Let's see - what are the Bushes doing? Anyone know????

Obama/Biden 2012

Tzalaran,

Excellent points.

Human trafficking is a non partisan, global issue .

But the responses from the right on this thread show their inabiblity to think beyond the their usual myopic view of reality.

Human dignity is a univeral. Using human beings for profit, a means to an end is a threat to all morality everwhere.

The Bush's recently started the "Rotten Presidents' Laying Low Foundation".

Mitt's address focused on the need to privatize (read: out-source) foreign aid.

Mitt's address was full of nothings, but as you say, privatize, privatize....but he did manage to throw in his favorite word 'apology'!

I wonder how many world leaders in attendance felt offended by his vague address!

heavily - not heaving.

chilled - from his visit to Europe we saw that most leaders found Mitt to be offensive at worst, comical and frightening at best.

SS....Willard is mentally unstable, unfit to be President.

Lies with absolute ease, insults hosts and world leaders, chuckles/smirks inappropriately.

What did he present to management of the companies that he destroyed to make them believe that he would save their companies.....He was lying!

He obviously lied to them from jump street as he walked away with millions.

The proof is in ALL of his bank accounts.

Romney got rich screwing the middle Class, now he wants to screw America !!!

Tzalaran - isn't it interesting that the two past Democratic Presidents have both gone on to lives of serving the people - each in their own way. Carter is heaving involved in Habitat for Humanity as well as his own foundation. Clinton has the Global Initiatives issue.

Couldn't have done it without being a 1%'er. Gotta love the hypocrisy.

And Bill does the heaving (a breathing description). Jimmy just lusts in his heart after women.

patriotic american usa--while OBAMA GETS RICH SCREWING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. he breaks the laws of America. gives money to bankrupt solar companies and all is forgiven, this man has no shame. One good thing he is good at reading the TelePrompter . beware of the con man which obama is and always has been. He talk a good talk but walks a bad walk. don't be codependent it will destroy you in the end

Desertgranny - you must not know much about the political process. No laws were broken. He and the rest of congress voted to give the money to the "bankrupt solar companies." The majority agreed. it didn't work out but you can't push that back all on Obama. Talk to your local congressmen/woman or senator if you want answers about that.

What does our economy have to do with the Clinton Global Initiative?

You hit one of his strong points, talking. At some point he may want to start "doing" , or maybe he didn't get that memo - as a community organizer you usually don't have to get that involved

Hussein will talk about anything but his failed economy.

Hussein can't talk about anything. Remember Dubya got him "Mission Accomplished"?

Hussein can't talk about anything. Remember Dubya got him "Mission Accomplished"?

Dubya reportedly was presented with Husseins' six-shooter which he will display in his Library or some such...

A library filled with lies!

I still cannot believe that he gets a library! Lies is right, chilled.

Carter got one.

Yeah, but Carter actually read books!

All the training I attended while a member of the federal government said that it's already illegal. So the president is advocating maintaining the status quo?

not to mention all those children that are now in orphanages (sp?) because he deported their parents back to their home country. What kind of a person would do that to children>??

sirie - you aren't really that stupid, are you? No children went to orphanages because their parents were deported. Where do you come up with your idiotic comments? My God you are pathetic!

Obama/Biden 2012

Couldn't you consider the smuggling of illegal immigrants as human trafficking? Isn't Obama encouraging this smuggling (human trafficking) buy giving hope to these illegal (criminal) immigrants that they will get a break and can stay in the US? If our President was truly concerned about human trafficking he would kick out all the illegal immigrants and close our borders.

not to mention all those children that are now in orphanages (sp?) because he deported their parents back to their home country. What kind of a person would do that to children>??

No those kids parents weren't deported back to their home countries. Where did you hear they were, Rush Limbaugh? They are not orphans and there are very few if any orphanages in the US any more.

When Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to millions of illegal aliens both adults and children was he encouraging the "smuggling or trafficing" of people accross our border?

Actually, if you do research you will find that we have stopped more illegals from entering the US and deported more during the Obama Administration than any in recent history all the way back beyond your demigod Reagan.

SS,

No he is not that stupid.

At least 5,100 U.S. citizen children in 22 states live in foster care, according to an estimate by the Applied Research Center, a New York-based advocacy organization, which first reported on such cases last year.

And an unknown number of those children are being put up for adoption against the wishes of their parents, who, once deported, are often helpless to fight when a U.S. judge decides that their children are better off here.

Adler,

Some truth slipped out the other day when the President held a Q&A session in the White House for hispanic journalists.

Obama used that chat session to admit that his administration’s supposedly high numbers of deportations are “deceptive” because the stats count the quickie voluntary repatriations that occur every day on the border. These are the guys who keep trying until they make it past the Border Patrol and into the interior to steal US jobs.

limitstogrowth.org

.

thetotas - Post a source. No one was deported and not allowed to take their children. You're a liar.

And, just so you know, foster care is NOT an orphanage. Again, no one has been forced to leave their children here when they have been deported.

Don't you guys EVER get tired of lying? Don't you stop to think that, when you have to lie to defend a point, there is NO defense?

Obama/Biden 2012

Well, I'm out of here. Have lots to do tonight and have to meet clients for dinner. Will catch up with you guys tomorrow. Behave!

Obama/Biden 2012

timesunion.com

Don't call me a liar, I have called you out on many occasions, and never have I stooped so low, and called you one.

SS,

You are one twisted individual.

Trav - not on these libby lovin sites, for sure. Maybe on the non - US sites where the news actually gets reported... Great Britian has some pretty good news agencies.

Travisaurus - "losing on every other front?" What world do you live in? OMG - get real!

Obama/Biden 2012

wow Seeking, so you admit he is losin on all fronts, not just every other one?

you have to watch out when you take off those blinders, there is a vast world out there to see!!

I dont know Human trafficking (bad bad but international ordeal as well) or continued failing economy? Too bad priorities are backwards here. this is merely an NBC/FR distraction from real important issues America is facing as a whole.

Sirie - maybe SeekingSanity should change his avatar to SeekingBlinders? lol just choked laughing.

sirie - you just keep on believing your nonsense. Get back to me 11/7/2012 and we'll talk!

Obama/Biden 2012

Careful there, CC, I just spit up all over my screen!

Now, back to Oblameo trying to make more political hay out a sudden emergency in human trafficking. Every time a coyote brings another illegal immigrant across the Rio Grande or through the desert, he is engaging in human trafficking. I don't like what happens to those poor people anymore than anyone else. I am just questioning why we have yet another moral emergency at this point in the election campaign.

Why is this any more of an "emergency" than the killing of our diplomats or the burning of the American flag by all these people who "love" us so much? Oh...wait...I know! I know! It's because the king has declared it to be an emergency.

All hail the king! Long live the king! Not, not, not!

To AZ Rancher--if you have a ranch in southeastern AZ anywhere near Douglas, Bowie, etc., you're illegally on Apache land that was stolen by the gov't through lies & sending off the original owners to a concentration camp. How you got it doesn't matter, it's not yours--we don't need to secure our southern border against people (Mexicans) who belong to this territory more than you do...at least they have Indigenous blood..You sound so ignorant...English is my third language but I make more sense than you anyday...Another fact..all those polls don't show opinions of many Indigenous peoples in the US who have been treated excellently by Obama with beneficial decisions in our favor too numerous to mention here--the majority of our votes will go to him & Repubs should worry (though our numbers are not as big as Latino & Black voters) about the states that have high Indigenous populations including CA, AZ, OK, AK, NM, HI, SD, etc. It is our hope that the states with Voter ID laws will not hamper our votes. The intent of that is to cut back the votes by minorities who do not meet their requirements. We definitely have no respect for Mitts whose religion teaches him that as brown people we are descended from the "lost tribe of Lamanites" or something like that. It's a ridiculous teaching of the Mormon church which also teaches racist ideology of not allowing intermarriage with minorities, or allowing them to become leaders in that church, etc. From someone who believes in those teachings, how can he claim he will help the 100% or even state that he's not racist? Hope Obama leads him towards a question on his beliefs during the upcoming debate, would love to see how he can respond without looking as stupid as always.

Native Americans for Obama, another 4 years!!!

Apache .... GREAT POST ! WAKAN TANKA - Aho

He doesn't actually HAVE to DO anything, the Obamaholics will keep drinking from the trough. Until it runs dry of course.

Love all the rants of desperation coming form the right on this above set of posts.

The first debate is one week away. Early voting starts in some states this weekend.

Romney is behind in swing states that he MUST win.

Obama/Bidne 2012

NorthstarDFL - and after the 1st debate Romney will drop even further behind!

Obama/Biden 2012

Love how all the Libs continue to defend the POTUS, even though he is lying to your face about the 9/11 anniversary terrorist attack. So much for the "transparency" he promised. (oh, there's another presidentiol lie)... and they keep on coming.....

screminmimi - you're an idiot. The President has NEVER invited illegals to the US. Did you have the same problem when the same number of illegals were coming in under Bush? Did you have the same problem when Reagan gave the largest group of illegals ever amnesty?

Obama/Biden 2012

Yeah, well, mimi, it just depends on what jobs you're talking about, doesn't it? BTW, go to an American ER and get the STD that your pimp just found for treated for free by walking out on the bill.

I don't understand why the libbies don't choke on all the kool-aid they drink.

Bob in KC - why doesn't it surprise me that you know all about STD's and getting them treated for free?

Obama/Biden 2012

dandlj - and yet we've managed to kick the *sses of every little mental midget from the right daily! How sad you guys are so mentally defective!

Obama/Biden 2012

no record of accomplishment,

Right! He accomplished nothing......

January 19, 2009: We were losing 800,000 jobs per month and the economy was shrinking at around 9% per quarter. (President: George Bush, Republican)

August 31, 2012: We added jobs for the 30th straight month of private sector job gains and 4.7 million in that time. GDP gains of 1.7% (President: Barack Obama, Democrat)

....or.....

January 19, 2009: Osama Bin Laden is alive and well along with 14 other Al Qaeda leaders. Bush states, "he didn't think much about him" (Republican President)

August 31, 2012: Obama presided over the killing of the mastermind behind 9/11 along with many other Al Qaeda leaders. (Democratic President)

....or.....

January 19, 2009: We are still entrenched in two wars, one of which was claimed "mission accomplished" 9 years ago (Republican President)

August 31, 2012: Obama has orchestrated our departure from Iraq and set the plan for our leaving in Afghanistan (Democratic President)

....or.....

January 19, 2009: The auto industry is on the brink of failure (Republican President) and the current Republican candidate wanted to let "Detroit go bankrupt" losing over 1 million jobs

August 31, 2012: Obama presides over the restructuring of GM and Chrysler. GM is now the #1 auto maker in the world and Chrysler is the fastest growing (Democratic President ) The CBO stated it not only saved those jobs but created hundreds of thousands more.

....or.....

January 19, 2009: The health insurance industry is posting record profits while continuing to discriminate against women and people with pre-existing conditions. (Republican President)

August 31, 2012: Through the passage of Obamacare, health insurance companies can no longer discriminate by pre-existing condition or against women, have to spend 85% on health services or rebate customers, keep kids on parents' plans until 26 etc. (Democratic President)

....or....

January 19, 2009: Banks were on the brink of collapse given years of deregulation and abuse of the system (Republican President)

August 31, 2012: Common sense regulations are put in place to assure we do not have another taxpayer funded bailout of the banks plus the consumer protection bureau is set up to protect consumers (Democratic President)

Plus, to add in another kicker....your retirement account is much wealthier now thanks to Obama given the Dow is up 80% since he took office (more than 100% since bottoming out in the recession).

This is why you clowns are losing.....you make these ridiculous claims and turn everyone off except the know-nothings in your circle ****. Keep talking slappy....you only help our cause!

massive crushing national debt

This is a stupid argument.....why? Well, first, most of the debt Obama has incurred was either due to the recession or were Bush policies the GOP tacked onto the debt in the 2000's.

PLUS, your answer to this 'crushing debt' you claim to care about is Mitt Romney whose answer is to add $5 trillion to the debt to give rich folks even more tax breaks.

You folks don't give a **** about the debt.

http://www.cbo.gov/publication/22087

According to the CBO it is Obama's debt,,,,,,,,,,,but don't let facts invade your party line garbage.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/48468748/Real_Unemployment_Rate_Shows_Far_More_Jobless

Real unemployment is far higher thsn the holy messiah claims,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but these facts are worth ignoring as well,,,,,,,,,,,

"Only 45.4% of Americans had jobs in 2010, the lowest rate since 1983 and down from a peak of 49.3% in 2000. Last year, just 66.8% of men had jobs, the lowest on record..............."

Speaking of "crushing",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,someone must have stepped on your brain.

hummbird - well said Phine was grace and serenity and she is in a better place. I'm glad her suffereing is over but we miss her calmness and her wit!

Too bad you didn't learn from it SS.

Urban - try to keep up. President Obama address the UN this morning. 'nuff said!

Obama/Biden 2012

He had no choice, the pressure was on. Now STFU

OMG! I nearly peed my pants with laughter! Urban, you are hysterical! Is that the "truth according to Lush Limpballs" that you are espousing? LOL

Yeah, Obama just makes an impromptu visit to the UN(because of the pressure) and just happens to have a speech all prepared. Wow, I knew he was awesome!

O&Joe 2012!

4 more4 44!

Urban - caught you in another lie so you get defensive! LOL!!!! No one forces President Obama to do anything you idiot!

Obama/Biden 2012

Good shooting, Seeking! Well played!

... URBAN ROMAN "Calling the killing of our Ambassador, assistant, and two ex-seals a "bump-in-the-road!" Real class there Odumbass"

.... not once did Obama say the deaths were a "bump on the road" .... he was speaking of the situation (that has been there for hundreds of years) .... Read back over all the posts carefully ... ITS ONLY THE REPUBLICANS WHO REFER TO THE DEATHS AS BUMPS ON THE ROAD. Go check the posts if u dare ... every republican has the same opinion on the "bump on the road"

OBAMA 2012

Yeah, it only took, what(?), 3 months to get their spontaneity together.
