There were arguments being made that because Democrats hadn’t gotten this done, that Latinos should vote against Democrats or just sit out the election. And I said, well, you can’t punish your friends when — the folks who’ve been supporting it. Now, I did also say if you’re going to punish somebody, punish your enemies, and I probably should have used the word, “opponents” instead of enemies. Now the Republicans are saying that I’m calling them enemies. What I’m saying is you’re an opponent of this particular provision, comprehensive immigration reform, which is something very different.
But the key issue here is that if you are supportive of comprehensive immigration reform, if you are supportive of health care reform, if you are supportive of making sure that credit card companies are treating us fairly, making sure that banks are properly regulated so they don’t end up getting taxpayer bailouts — if you support those things, then you’ve got to support those who helped to put those provisions into law. And you’ve got to make sure that those who are opposed to that legislation, that they get a clear message that they shouldn’t be standing in the way of the progress, but rather we should be moving this country forward.

There's a word in the English language for that.
Typically requires two witnesses for a conviction.
He's got 300 million.
He meant what he said. What a complete turd of a President.
You probably shouldnt have tried to destroy America through the application of your marxist agenda...
he replayed the old “community organizer” tapes in his head before he said all this now he wants to repent? you are who you are ...........he ain’t no prezIdent of mine,that i know!
Isn’t such a statement failing to uphold the Constitution of the United States, where political speech and protest is protected? Is our Supreme Court going to continue to sit and suck their thumbs while the freedoms we have bled for go down the tubes?
The mask slips and we see an ideologue who wants views those who oppose his Socialist agenda as enemies, much in the same way the early Soviets saw the Russian middle class as enemies.
Well, Mr. Obama, what you shouldn’t be doing is segregating people into groups based on their race or ethnicity. Why don’t you be the first to stop this whole identity politics scam and start talking to Americans as Americans. You know, the whole content of our character and not the color of our skin thing? How refreshing it would be if you would just vow not to utter any words that even hinted that you noticed someones heritage or skin color or religion or ethnicity for one year. Do you think you could do that? Maybe then you could actually be the President of all of us. But I don’t think you could do that. Because it doesn’t serve your divisive agenda.
Now we see why this moron can’t order breakfast without a teleprompter.
I’m anxiously awaiting his Lonesome Rhodes debacle.
Yeah. Just like “The Cambridge Police acted stupidly.” Woops!! Let’s all have a beer feast. My apology!”
Probably? Probably? Obama got his REAL message across - that we're the enemy. Then he got his 'kiss butt' to the elites across that he 'probably' misspoke...
Typical no account, juvenile Obama opening his big mouth and letting his true feelings come out. Notice he does not apologize for calling millions of Americans “enemies”. No, it’s “the Republicans are saying...”, so that makes him restate what he “really” meant. Why can’t us stupid enemies just get what he means and stop twisting his words? I guess we’re just like policemen acting stupidly while we cling to our religion.
I can’t wait till tomorrow.
Tomorrow is my matathon party day. Nobody can ruin it.
woops! “marathon”
I thougth this article was going to be about a bad choice of words because Mexicans are already punishing their enemies daily with automatic fire, grenades and beheadings.
...and I’ll see your true colors shining through...
ODumbo’s alligator mouth has overloaded his hummingbird @$$ yet again.
