Another Partisan Push for Another 'Comprehensive Reform'?

Candidate Barack Obama promised immigration activists, "I think it's time for a president who won't walk away from something as important as comprehensive reform when it becomes politically unpopular."

Now pressure groups are demanding Obama come through on his pledges.

In response, the administration may trump the health-care debate with another divisive issue -- "comprehensive reform" on immigration -- that is surely just as "politically unpopular."

After the failure of the polarizing cap-and-trade bill, and the current blood-on-the-floor fight over "comprehensive health-care reform," tackling illegal immigration right now would be a political nightmare.

Activists at next week's planned immigration "reform" rally in Washington, D.C., may use euphemisms like "comprehensive immigration reform" or stage demonstrations about "immigrant rights." But most Americans have few problems with immigration per se -- as long as it is legal and in numbers that facilitate assimilation and integration into American life.

Now this. We are soon to be over forever.

The problem with Abu Obama was never “comprehensible reform”, rather incomprehensible reform...

[RU88]

Cap and tax, socialized medicine, and immigration “reform”: the unholy trinity. It’s almost as if he’s crawled out of the depths of hell to purposely attempt to destroy this great country.

I say Obama should GO For It!

It’ll be fascinating and morbidly entertaining to watch this “brilliant” politician’s popularity drop ANOTHER 25 percentage points as he talks out of the other other other side of his mouth and shoots himself in his other other other foot, while continuing his narcissistic habit of continuously talking and talking and lecturing without once stopping to LISTEN.

I’m pretty much resigned to having a large portion of our country in smoking ruins by the time he finishes with it, and I stand ready to do my part to pick up the pieces and re-build once he is gone.

By the way, I DO still hold out hope that the ‘smoking ruins’ will be FIGURATIVE, but with Reid and Pelosi at his side there’s no TELLING what they might “accomplish”.

PS - Some day I hope a non-partisan “shrink” will write a psychological case study on Barack Huissein Obama. He might just be the most pathologically self-centered person to have lived on the planet since Napoleon.

Almost?

[Jabba the Nutt]

Abu Obama is Barack Obama Sr. Barack Obama Jr is Abu Malia or Abu Sasha (that’s the name of the kids, right?).

[Travis McGee]

The Quislings, the power mad and the useful idiots are lining up for another amnesty push.

Including many RINOs.

Doom! Doom! Doom!

Obama addresses his fellow Democrats on the eve of pushing "Comprehensive Immigration Reform".

[Hardraade]

Abu Obama is Barack. Abu (father) is a title commonly used by the palestinians - who he seems to owe his allegiance to and who contributed heavily to his whole career. He should be known under no other name.

Other example: Abu Nidal.
