Will they be sucked in again?

[Dave007inVegas]

As a candidate, President Obama promised Latino voters that he would aggressively push for passage of a comprehensive immigration bill during his first year in office.

“What I can guarantee is that we will have in the first year an immigration bill that I strongly support and that I’m promoting,” Mr. Obama said in an interview with the Spanish-language broadcaster Univision in 2008.

Now, facing a re-election campaign next year, the White House is embarking on a public relations effort to reassure Latino supporters who say they are frustrated by the president’s failure to deliver on his immigration promise.

On Tuesday, Mr. Obama will travel to the United States border with Mexico to kick off a series of community conversations about the need for immigration reform. In a speech in El Paso, Mr. Obama will urge Congress to act, though officials said he would not unveil legislation nor demand a specific timeline.

Depends on who he runs against.

No President has ever won re-election with unemployment over 7%. This buffoon doesnt have any intention of doing anything but increasing that %.

He cant beat a Quija Board in a re-election campaign. Dont believe the hype, he wont get 20% of the vote.

 

[mplastered]

20%? He'll talk his way out of the unemployment issue. It was worse than any of us thought. We are on the right track. Give us more time. We've created 2 billion jobs so far. Blah, blah, blah. The right has yet to produce a leader.

I agree that if the unemployment numbers don't improve dramatically, he's toast

however, he will never get less that 33%. That's the base that will vote for him if he were Jeffrey Dahmer. I think worst case would be low 40's.

Even Mondale, who lost the EC 525-13, earned 40% of the vote

Does it really matter? I’m going out on a limb and say that in a year and half we’ll still be in the same shape we are now because he has done nothing, zero, zilch to change the economic environment for the better.

Economies don’t turn around over night. Since he’s been in office things have only gotten worse. I fact he’s done everything possible, i.e., increased spending through the stimulus, which didn’t do squat, made healthcare more expensive and further regulated everything he could get his hands on.

2008 may have been anyone but Bush but 2010 was anyone but a Democrat and 2012 will be anyone but BO.

He will not be re-elected because he is just plain incompetent.

He's in Texas today pandering to the illegals. "Whitey hates you, the Repubs hate you. Vote for me and I'll legalize all of you!"

 

[JudgeWapner]

Well if you nominate someone who wants to change the law regarding birthright citizenship, you are not gonna get the Latino vote.

How do illegals vote? The one's who are here legally, or were born and raised here, don't want the illegals here anymore than the rest of us. Why pander to people who can't even vote?

 

[JudgeWapner]

Tex, the legals have relatives.

 

[JudgeWapner]

I'm not saying pander to anyone. Just stating an opinion. I don't see a hardliner on immigration ever getting the Latin vote.

 

[texansfan]

Tex, the legals have relatives.

I believe it's a very small minority Judge. I firmly believe that most don't want illegals here. Why would someone who spent years trying to become a U.S. citizen legally be in favor of people sneaking in illegally?

 

[texansfan]

It's ridiculous Judge. Why does the U.S. have to print stuff in Spanish, Vietnamese, etc? What's wrong with learning English? They don't need to learn the language because they don't need to. Immigrants that came here legally used to want to come here to assimilate into society and learn the language.

I get so tired of people, specifically the government, thinking it's okay for criminals to come here and live. That's what they are when they come here illegally, criminals.

 

[texansfan]

Oh, before viterrd gets his panties all bunched up, it's both sides of the aisle who have failed in controlling illegal immigration.

Reagan screwed up when he gave amnesty to all the illegals here during his presidency and the situation has only gotten worse.

When I moved to CR I immediately began learning and speaking Spanish. Why? Out of respect to the culture.

I try. Plus I fuel the economy. Boy do I fuel the economy.

Or, just lie to them. Always worked in the past.

The hookers and pharmacies? Wink, wink ; )
