There was a white guy there who was also a bit of a surprise to Obama. In fact, I think that much of the room was not happy with him and his policies. I don't think he was prepared for such opposition from a "friendly" crowd.

The video's say it ALL!!!

So much to talk about in this thread. Not enough time (at least not right now... that thing was 5 pages and two bathroom breaks long!)

Thanks for the link Mr. Ford. That was a VERY interesting (though biased and errant) article!

I don't see the relationship between IT and his being raised by his mom, though.

But, I WAS wondering where NEWT got the idea for his widely discredited remarks.

Anyway.... hope to get to this soon. I really see no way other than to rebut it paragraph by paragraph, but I'm trying to think of a shorter way.

The BASIC facts are not wrong. It's the interpretation of them and the biased conclusions that I can't let remain unchallenged.

For now, the short answer is this..... "anticolonialism" is NOT RACIST by nature or necessity.

And the most glaring ERROR is the author's misunderstanding and incorrect misstating of the 100% tax "rate." Obama Sr. did NOT say (or mean) 100% taxation of income. (or taking ALL of it!) He said.... "taxing (at SOME level) 100% of income. That is not so different than the FLAT tax discussed earlier in another thread. [at least, that was MY understanding of it while quickly reading that LONG article.]

More later....

Well it's not hard to fake out the screeners. Look at American Idol, they have had contestants get inside and sing a totally different song than they did to the screeners outside. I think it's good for Obama to get into this type of crowd more often, he claims to be in touch, this is a good start because he is not in touch, heck none of the politicians are in touch right now. They all claim they understand how life is tough right now in this country, they do not understand at all.

I wonder if obama met up with students at See You at the Pole this morning??

Check out her shirt!

Illegal Aliens Canvass for Votes in Wash. State

Oct. 16: Maria Gianni, an illegal immigrant, poses for a portrait at a phone bank in Seattle being used by OneAmerica Votes.

SEATTLE -- When Maria Gianni is knocking on voters' doors, she's not bashful about telling people she is in the country illegally. She knows it's a risk to to strangers that she's here illegally -- but one worth taking in what she sees as a crucial election.
The 42-year-old is one of dozens of volunteers -- many of them illegal immigrants -- canvassing neighborhoods in the Seattle area trying to get naturalized citizens to cast a ballot for candidates like Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, who is in a neck-to-neck race with Republican Dino Rossi.
Pramila Jayapal, head of OneAmerica Votes, says the campaign is about empowering immigrants who may not feel like they can contribute to a campaign because they can't vote.
"Immigrants really do matter," Jayapal said. "If we can't vote ourselves, we're gonna knock on doors, or get family members to vote."
So far the illegal immigrants going-to-door aren't meeting opposition. Craig Keller, an organizer for Respect WA, a group pushing for stricter immigration law in the Washington, said he doesn't mind illegal immigrants volunteering for vote drives, he just wants to make sure mistakes on the voter rolls don't allow them to vote.

Aug. 17: President Obama and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. , left, take part in a roundtable discussion with small business owners at Grand Central Bakery in Seattle.

"Anybody can go out and wave a sign, but when it comes to who's making the choices, there's no question they need to be," Keller said.
In close elections across the country, the immigrant and minority vote is considered key for candidates, especially Democrats.
Earlier this week in Nevada, a television ad urging Latinos not to vote sparked outcry from Democrats, who called it a dirty trick meant to keep Hispanics home and boost Republican candidates. Univision and Telemundo -- the nation's two largest Spanish-language -- canceled the ad, which the Republican group Latinos for Reform had planned to eventually run in Nevada, Florida, California, Texas and Colorado through the Nov. 2 election.
Seattle is home to a wide array of immigrant communities, from Latinos to east Africans and Asians.
Congress declined this year to consider overhauling the country's immigration law, much to the chagrin of immigrant advocates who had expected Democrats to do so by now.
Still, OneAmerica Votes launched one of the largest get-out-the-vote campaigns in the state on behalf of Democratic candidates. The organization is an offshoot of OneAmerica, one of the state's largest and the most influential immigrant-rights advocacy group.
Through home visits, banks and mailings the organization is aiming to reach about 40,000 registered voters in the Seattle area in an attempt to help Democrats gain ground in key races. Volunteers include other types of people who can't vote, such as legal permanent residents.
About 150 volunteers rolled out in nine cities across Washington this past week, knocking on 3,000 doors.
In Bellevue, a city of nearly 123,000 east of Seattle, Gianni knocked on 25 doors and spoke to 15 people, she said.
One man, a naturalized citizen from the Philippines, said he knew what she was going through after she shared she was in the country illegally.
"There's always a risk," Gianni said in Spanish about her legal status. "But if there's a change, I would feel like I contributed, even in a small part, to a change we all need."
Gianni arrived in the United States on a 13 years ago looking for work and stayed. For a while her only son lived here, but has since moved back to Mexico.
"In order for there to be a change to our broken immigration system," she said, "I believe one has to fight."

It speaks volumes for these illegals to be so blatant with their lack of concern for our immigration laws. It also shows a great desperation on behalf of the democrats. They are so terrified of losing power that they are willing to break our laws to win. If I lived in Washington, I would vote against democrats just because of this situation.

Careful GMAN, we don't want to be fear mongering racists :roll:

If I were a True Law Supporting Sherrif I would go into that call center and SHUT IT DOWN for hiring Illegal aliens then File a RICO Lawsuit against the groups that were using them for polling. Called make an example of them. However getting a Liberal in Washington to do that Slim to None and None is on his Union Mandated Coffee Break.

GMAN.... please tell me what laws the Dems are breaking in this situation.

IronEagle..... please show me WHERE in the above article it mentions that any illegal aliens were HIRED. Then explain how you THINK you could apply RICO statutes to ANYTHING involved in this.
