The Presidential Planner

From Sunlen Miller:

This morning, President Obama will deliver remarks on immigration reform at the American University School of International Service.

"The President’s view is that there’s been a lot in the news about immigration lately.  There’s been the Arizona law, there’s been meetings about it, there’s been protests about it.  He thought this was a good time to talk plainly with the American people about his views on immigration."

Burton says that the president today will talk about accountability — accountability for securing the border, accountability for employers who are hiring illegal immigrants, and accountability for those who are in the country illegally. 
 
In the afternoon, the president will have lunch with business leaders in the Old Family Dining Room, one of many lunch meetings the president has had this year with the business community.
 
Later in the afternoon, the president and the vice president will meet with Senate Majority Leader Reid in the Oval Office.

Afterwards the president and vice president will receive a briefing on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Situation Room.

Next up on the president's agenda, Mr. Obama will honor the Women’s Professional Soccer Champions Sky Blue FC to the White House for winning the inaugural Women's Professional Soccer championship.
 
In the evening, Mr. Obama will formally sign the Iran Sanctions Bill in the East Room of the White House.

MalcomXson: Cloward-Piven in the 60s said you ruin the country from within by getting as many people as possible on a government check. That way, the capitalistic system will collapse b/c nobody is working in the private sector. Now Obama wants amnesty and a voter registration drive to save himself in 2012.
I don’t know hat all the fuss is about Soviet sleeper agents.
When Malcom X met with the Soviet leader in a NYC hotel in 1960, I do not think he could imagine the damage caused by MalcomXson.

Remind me to miss this one.
If the President doesn’t understand the immigration issue, legal and illegal, by now no amount of speeches will help him get it right.

It only makes sense, since he’s basically trying to change the U.S. into a European-style multi-cultural social democracy.
After all, France is a great model for the assimilation of minorities. Just drop by the banlieues to confirm that.
No, he’s either hell-bent on passing everything he can by November, or else to sign up as many undocumented Democrats as possibly by 2012.

REFORM??? FORGET SECURING THE BORDER everyone. Just Cut of illegal’s access to Jobs, Emergency Rooms, Welfare, houysing and Stop allowing Anchor Babies to be born here as U.S. citizens. They will Parachute in if it’s worth their while. WAKE UP. It’s not about a Wall being built…it’s about cutting off the Reward at the end of the so-called Rainbow. The end of the rainbow being the U.S.

Sad to say…I feel President Obama has ONE THING on his mind…MORE VOTES. He will refuse to cut of illegal’s access to Jobs, Emergency Rooms, Welfare, and housing. They will continue to come here ILLEGALLY, will be REWARDED with easy passage to Citizenship and they will VOTE for the guy that made it happen. THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME and our Wallets can afford only so many freeloaders.

Lets just see what the Pres. says, before we jump the guns. We all know that he has no leadership qualities does not know a thing about economy or how to get of the campaign wagon, fix anything, contrary to what he said 2 years ago. Nice HOPE and CHANGE, but then he never said what the hope and change will be.

Colonel Rebel obviously hasn’t read Piven and Cloward. The point of getting as many people as ELIGIBLE onto a government check is to expose the fact that the US system is not able to take care of its own people. Despite the right wing talking points, it has always been ridiculously hard to get on the dole in the US, even for UI which is something you actually worked for. It also exposes the fact that for a very large number of jobs, wages do not provide a minimum standard of living. Getting more people on the dole undermines the ability of employers to force people into subsistance living and provides upward pressure on wages.

1. Pay lip service to “base”. Check!
2. Enact Bush policies while retaining his “best and brightest”. Check!
3. Remain tone deaf to the needs, wants and concerns of the American people. Check!
4. Give subsides to the welfare/warfare/medical/multinational industrial complex… Check!
Yup, Obama’s planner is quite full. That man deserves a break for all he is accomplishing… (Like for the next four years!)

We need a president who will protect and serve the citizens of the United States of America. On Thursday, July 1, 2010, a U.S. federal judge granted Mexico’s request to be allowed to file a legal brief supporting the challenge of Arizona’s law. That means the judge will consider the brief Mexico submitted previously. Mexico says it wants to defend its citizens’ rights and that the law would lead to racial profiling and hinder trade and tourism. It also says the law would hinder work against drug trafficking and related violence. SINCE WHEN DO FOREIGN LEADERS DECIDE WHAT WE DO IN AMERICA??? CITIZENS OF MEXICO HAVE NO ‘RIGHTS’ HERE!!! THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS THE MOST CORRUPT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. HE IS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY. HE WANTS THE HISPANIC VOTE! BUILD THE DAMN FENCE! PROTECT AMERICANS!
