Obama Is Not To Be Played With!!!!

 Obama has the "I wish you WOULD say something else" look on his face. 

President Obama explained his administration's decision to allow as many as 800,000 young illegal immigrants to apply for temporary legal status and work permits in a speech this afternoon in the Rose Garden.
The president was interrupted by reporter Neil Munroe twice, who asked him to defend his assertion that the move is the "right thing" for the country. Obama talked over the reporter but later in the speech addressed him, again asserting that the immigration decision is the right one. Munroe again interrupted Obama. "I didn't ask for an argument," the president said sharply, ending the unusual exchange.
"They are Americans in their hearts, in their minds, in every single way but one--on paper," Obama said of the young illegal immigrants who will be affected by his plan. The sweeping proposal allows immigrants without criminal records who are under 30 years old, entered the country as children, have graduated from a U.S. high school, and can prove they've lived in the country for five consecutive years to apply for temporary legal status and then two-year, renewable work permits. It does not provide them a path to citizenship. In his speech, Obama stressed that the move is "not amnesty," and that he thinks Congress should still pass a broader legalization bill.

Lemme' Talk About School For A Sec......


“Of course, it’s not enough for us to increase student aid. We can’t just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition; we’ll run out of money. States also need to do their part, by making higher education a higher priority in their budgets. And colleges and universities have to do their part by working to keep costs down. Recently, I spoke with a group of college presidents who’ve done just that. Some schools re-design courses to help students finish more quickly. Some use better technology. The point is, it’s possible. So let me put colleges and universities on notice: If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.

Higher education can’t be a luxury – it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford.” - President Obama

It's Always In The Fine Print: Truth of the NDAA


OBAMA HAS SIGNED THE NDAA INTO LAW!!!! This means that the government can now detain and torture you without a fair trial

I've seen this on a few sites condemning Obama as Satan again, so I looked into it and came across some clarity as to what this actually means within the bill itself.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2011/12/31/statement-president-hr-1540

“ Second, under section 1021(e), the bill may not be construed to affect any “existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.” My Administration strongly supported the inclusion of these limitations in order to make clear beyond doubt that the legislation does nothing more than confirm authorities that the Federal courts have recognized as lawful under the 2001 AUMF. Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens. Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values as a Nation. ”

So you just gonna call Obama a D**K Huh?????



Cable news network MSNBC indefinitely suspended senior political analyst Mark Halperin after he called President Obama “kind of a [vulgarism for male organ]” on the network’s “Morning Joe” show.

He did so after he’d been assured by co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski that the show had a seven-second delay in effect and that he should “take a chance.”

President Obama Shares His Faith in the American Youth Via Uncle Russ



“I’ve always believed that here in America, every young person should be able to set goals and reach them; to discover their passions and follow them; and to earn their piece of the American Dream. That’s why, during the last two years, my Administration has worked hard to give people like you the opportunities you need to reach your potential and win the future. We passed the Affordable Care Act that allows young people to stay on their parents health care plan until they’re 26 – allowing more time to find a job that carries insurance.


“We reformed the student loan system to put billions of dollars back into the pockets of students paying for college instead of watching it pad the profits of big banks. We’ve invested in clean energy and encouraged a generation of innovators working to start the companies and build the technologies of the future. We’ve ended combat operations in Iraq and brought more than 90,000 troops home from the battlefield, and also made sure they get the care they have earned when they got back. And, even though there’s still a tremendous amount of work to be done, I promise that every decision I make in the years ahead will be made with you in mind. Each of you represents our hope for this country. Your generation will be the one leading America into the future. And if we do our part, I know you’ll make us proud.” -Barack Obama

Obama on Vick: Good Message or Wasted Time????


The other day President Obama call Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to congradulate him on his signing of Mike Vick and giving him a 2nd chance to rebuild his career. According to King, the president said that released prisoners rarely receive a level playing field and that Vick's story could begin to change that. Vick has become perhaps the biggest comeback story in some time and it has been a divisive one as well. I've chatted with a few people with differing views on the matter. Some have felt the President should have better things to do. Other have said it's a positive story of redemption that should be told.

Personally, I need my President to be human. I need to be able to relate to a guy in a way beyond political stance. Sports, music, social issues matter to me, etc, etc.... I don;t know how long this convo between Obama and King lasted. I'm sure technically speaking there were other things Obama could have been doing but I don't want a robot in office. If the President had flown from Thailand just to do this then I may have a different view but I think being able to connect on an everyday man level is an important thing.

Thoughts? Views? Opinions?

Obama's Been Puttin' in Work!!!


I figure the Independance holiday is as good a time as any to drop this particular post. Hit the jump to see a comprehensive list of President Obama's accomplishments Compiled by Robert P. Watson, Ph.D. Coordinator of American Studies, Lynn University. Let the facts speak for themselves.

"His first six months have been even more active than FDRs or LBJs the two standards for such assessments. Yet, there is little media attention given to much of what he has done. Of late, the media is focusing almost exclusively on Obama's critics, without holding them responsible for the uncivil, unconstructive tone of their disagreements or without holding the previous administration responsible for getting us in such a deep hole. The misinformation and venom that now passes for political reporting and civic debate is beyond description.


As such, there is a need to set the record straight. What most impresses me is the fact that Obama has accomplished so much not from a heavy-handed or top-down approach but from a style that has institutionalized efforts to reach across the aisle, encourage vigorous debate, and utilize town halls and panels of experts in the policy-making process. Beyond the accomplishments, the process is good for democracy and our democratic processes have been battered and bruised in recent years."

Y'all were kicking him in Year 1.......



....and in year 2 Obama is gettin' it in and making change. He was never the messiah that many were making him out to be but he was never the Anti-Christ either and 1/2 way through his 1st term I can say that I have personally seen his moves improve my family. From the addition adult grants for education that allowed and paid for my moms extra schooling to the overall improvement in the employment situation that gave me my new job, I've seen change.



I just want to hear some positive support to balance everyone's gripes back in 2009.There's still massive work to be done but lets acknowledge whats been done.
