"I don't believe President Obama wants an immigration bill to pass, instead I think he wants a political issue,"  BINGO!!!! DING, DING, DING, WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!  This is the essence of Barrack Hussein. He has no ability at governance, only division by politics.  This president has no intention of helping America. His mission is to promise utopia and then deliver despair. His record speaks for itself.  In 2008 our National Debt was $9.5 trillion, today it is $16.6 trillion, an increase of $7 trillion. In 4 years it is projected to be $22.6 trillion. This amounts to an increase of $13 trillion, or over twice what all the preceding presidents have created.  We have more people on food stamps and disability than ever in our history. Our streets are rampant with crime, violence, drugs and murders. Racism has not only increased under barrack Hussein, it is promoted by him and the complicit media. Our great Republic is more divided than I can remember.  It has been 1,369 days since the Democrats have passed a budget. Only in the convoluted mind of a Liberal/Progressive can the biggest economy in the history of mankind run without a blueprint. No other business, and yes the government IS a business, could get away with this. It is the biggest service sector business in history. It even has the luxury of not having to create a profit, all it has to do is be balanced. We were promised a deficit reduction of one-half in the first term, instead we have massive deficits projected as far as the eye can see.  The "jobs" created so far are pathetic. Accepting the numbers of 5 million jobs created by the $863 billion "$timulu$, each job cost us almost $175,000! The more embarrassing aspect is the TYPES of jobs being created.  Although six in 10 jobs lost during the Great Recession paid mid-level wages, the majority of new jobs created in the recovery -- positions such as store clerks, laborers and home healthcare aides -- pay much less, according to a study by the National Employment Law Project.  The study covered jobs created from the first quarter of 2010 through the first quarter of 2012.  Lower-paying jobs, with median hourly wages from $7.69 to $13.83, accounted for just 21% of the job losses during the recession. But they've made up about 58% of the job growth from the end of the recession in late 2009 through early 2012.  Those jobs have been concentrated in three industries: food services, retail and employment services, such as office clerks and customer service representatives, the study found.  In contrast, mid-wage occupations with median hourly wages from $13.84 to $21.13 -- jobs such as construction workers, real estate brokers, and data entry clerks -- have accounted for just 22% of the new jobs in the recovery after making up 60% of the job losses in the recession.  So, we have lost 60% good wage and benefit jobs and replaced them with 58% of poverty level jobs and we STILL have over 23 million Americans under/unemployed. It's obvious that Barrack Husseins goal of taking the American people from a middle class society to a poverty class society dependent on more and more government.  This is not by mistake, this is by design!  Barrack Hussein is a thoroughgoing statist, perhaps the worst in history. And with Wilson, FDR and LBJ he is in some serious competition.  Politics is about man's relationship to the state. That relationship, to be healthy, should be minimal. This president has taken the government to new heights, a very unhealthy and dangerous height. His obsession with unimportant issues such as gay rights, contraception and nationalizing industries has created the fiscal Armageddon we find ourselves in.  Class warfare has been Barrack Husseins goal since his candidacy. "If you've got a business — you didn't build that--somebody else made that happen", is the most frightening statement by any president ever. Even though Elizabeth Warren was the author of this nonsense, Barrack Hussein has not only embraced it, he actually believes it.  His theory of entrepreneurship is that behind every successful businessman, there is a successful government. Even though our nations greatest innovators and entrepreneurs had no help from government, as a statist he will try to take credit for it all. This is a warrant for socialization of the products of success. Behind its faux sophistication is the typical Ivy League faculty-lounge disdain for business. If anyone earns more than his coveted tenured professor comrades they must have done so by some deceptive means.  Behind his smiley face we're-all-in-it-together façade is a very ominous demand: You owe us. Us being the brilliant minds in the pantheon of government. These are the same people who have never created a business or driven commerce to any degree but they have read a few books or perhaps written a book. Some of our greatest self made men exemplified by Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Steve Jobs Barrack Hussein wants to substitute the illusion of some guy who happened to get lucky while not paying his "fair share" of taxes so he can redistribute it better than their own philanthropy would allow.  The hallmark of the entrepreneur of extraordinary accomplishment isn't simply working hard as he admonished in his famous bluster in Virginia. "I'm always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there."  Some of us may work as hard as Steve Jobs but few of us are as single-minded, risk-taking, shrewd or as visionary. Millions of us can work twelve hour days for years yet never come up with the idea for the iPad, Mac computer or an iPhone. Let alone successfully manufacture and market it.  Statists discreetly tend to devalue human creativity. The statist truly believes that Steve Jobs couldn't get to work every day without roads or drive safely on those roads without a well-regulated system of driver's licenses. So in the convoluted mind of Barrack Hussein the DMV practically built Apple! It has nothing to do with the massive amount of commerce Apple creates with its attendant taxes and jobs for thousands of Americans, something the government has never done.  Our great Republic was not built on the back of government or unions. It was built on the shoulders of the genius of trail blazers, innovators and risk takers. Americans who are willing to take a chance and unleash their dreams and vision on us and the world. If they succeed they deserve to be rewarded, if not there is no motivation to try. If they fail, they accept it, get up, and try again. America offers every single one of us the equal opportunity to succeed, it does NOT offer us equal outcomes. History bears this out.  Barrack Hussein despises fewer phrases than "on your own". He considers it a lie when people think they've made it on their own, and he thinks the most damning thing that can be said is about the Conservative vision is that it will leave people on its own. To him and all statists "we're all in this together", and the inspiration that embodies that "togetherness" in none other than the Internal Revenue Service.  Now he wants to just allow millions of criminals that crossed our border illegally, have trespassed on our sovereign soil, abused our social system to benefit from generations of American exceptionalism without any penalty or retribution. And we all know why. It's not for some compelling sensitivity or humanistic tolerance, it's for their votes.  Statists sole purpose in life is to maintain their status of political power. He understands that if Americans realize they are very capable of being independent and successful on their own then governments role is diminished to what our Founder's and Framer's intended it to be. Our governments purpose is clearly and undeniably defined in the Constitution. Its limitations are outlined in 18 simple steps in the Enumerated Powers in Article 1, Section8.  Progressivism has been bastardizing those powers for over a century. Today we see how embarrassingly inept Barrack Hussein has trivialized the average American with his "Life of Julia" cartoon. From the cradle to the grave he believes that you are incapable of caring for yourself and your own. Unfortunately from many of the postings on this and other Liberal/Progressive sites, he's right. It's shameful that so many good, hard working Americans have become so indoctrinated in this embarrassing belief. His advocacy of mediocrity by promoting the best you can become is middle-class should outrage even the most rabid Liberal. A real leader promotes attaining as much as you want, not what he thinks you should be.  Yes we are a nation of immigrants, LEGAL IMMIGRANTS! Pandering to a group who have abused our laws and taken advantage of them for their criminal benefit can no longer be allowed.  They have come to this country, take advantage of the system and think because we are tolerant that we are weak and helpless. Their arrogance offends me.  It should offend you too.
A recurring fear has colored Republicans’ attitude toward the current immigration reform debate in Congress: President Barack Obama has no actual interest in reaching a deal, and is instead pursuing the issue to exacerbate the GOP’s problems with Hispanic vote …
