Obama: Grab Second Chance on Immigration
Orlando Sentinel ^ | June 28, '07 | Barack Obama

Posted on 07/06/2007 9:58:09 PM PDT by T.L.Sink

[Obama says Minutemen are "Self-proclaimed Vigilantes"] When we first tried to fix the system last year, it was a time when hundreds of thousands of immigrants were protesting in the streets, while self-proclaimed vigilantes known as Minutemen were rushing to defend our Southern border. At the same time, it is both unproductive and untrue to tag as "amnesty" any proposal that would put the undocumented on a path to earned citizenship, since the bill we're debating would penalize those who broke our laws with steep fines and require them to start their quest for citizenship at the back of the line.

Obama is a candidate who's been manufactured by the DNC and the MSM. The swooning and gushing began after his vapid speech at the Democratic Convention. In reality he's an empty suit who spouts the spin of the Left. He's got very little national experience and none in foreign affairs. He makes Hillary look like Winston Churcill in comparison!

Obama is Swift boating himself. These words will come back to haunt him, if he wins the democrat nomination.

I like how he doesn’t call any of the protesters “ILLEGAL immigrants,” but he characterizes the Minutemen, who are LEGAL immigrants, as he does. Cute.

It’s going to be Hillary/Richardson, my guess.

What scares me is... who is a real candidate in this election? I find all of the front runners of both parties implausible. I mean, wouldn't most people with common intuition see what phony, manipulative sharks they are? Could a majority of American voters actually vote for Hillary? Then again Bill Clinton's wink-and-smile show was screaming obvious to me, like a comic parody, the very first time I saw him (before I knew his name or party), and I really thought most people would see him the same way. So don't count on my take.

That’s right. They already have citizenship. They should go back home and claim it.

Did the Minutemen really proclaim themselves "vigilantes?"

Obama is the worst panderer of all front runners.

Empty head ; empty suit.

The man does’nt know if he’s black or white, Christian or Muslim

“What scares me is... who is a real candidate in this election? I find all of the front runners of both parties implausible.”

Well, I am disgusted and loathe to understand why those who’ve been screaming ‘no’ to amnesty are now willing to look the other way and push to the forefront a R candidate who claims, “You’re going to have to, in some way, work out a deal where they can have some aspirations of citizenship”. Maybe they, like Bush, define amnesty to their liking.

You mean “LEGAL citizens,” don’t you?

I would imagine that most of the Minutemen are native-born American citizens, but I might be wrong.
