"Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth, it's a matter of faith," President Obama declared at a speech he gave on immigration.

Obama also blamed "resentment" to new immigrants to poor economic conditions.

"Now, we can't forget that this process of immigration and eventual inclusion has often been painful. Each new wave of immigrants has generated fear and resentment towards newcomers, particularly in times of economic upheaval," Obama said.

I would expect no other reasoning from a Kenyan usurper.

You did it the right way, and I hope you find happiness in American, in spite of our incompetent president.

Faith in WHAT? God? Which God?

The Constitution?

Too funny, Mr. President.

Not a surprising position considering this is from a Kenyan Clown who cannot even be bothered to produce documentation of his own natural born citizenship.

Stop the planet, I want off.

A matter of faith?!?!?! WTH

Laying the groundwork for that executive order.

BO:"Now, we can't forget that this process of immigration and eventual inclusion has often been painful. Each new wave of immigrants has generated fear and resentment towards newcomers...."

Yeah, this time with damn good reason for it...

Today's Congress, meh. They are working for international and self interests.

Pete Stark wants to make money selling ladders to Mexicans...

Yes, the Hispanic vote.

At least 22 hospitals have gone bankrupt in N.J. and have shut down, closed the doors for good. The reason? Too much “charity work”. Illegals go to the emergency rooms so they cannot be denied care, and never pay a cent.

If it’s this big a problem in N.J. I can’t imagine what the border states are going through.

There, fixed it, OBozo.

I had to chuckle when I read this. I am NOT a “birther.” But when I read this, the FIRST thought that crossed my mind was, “does this man speak of himself, or of another?” LOL

"Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth, it's a matter of faith."

Yet another "stupidest thing I ever heard a public official say" quote from BO.

So if you're willing to recite the Obama Creed, you're American; if you won't, we will jail you.

BTW, any lefties out there who are willing to acknowledge a serious "separation of church & state" issue here?

[TexasCajun]

And now you are a Great American my friend.

Thank you for your service.

"Being an American is not a matter of blood or birth, it's a matter of faith."

Just believe!

That is exactly what should happen, in a sane world, with sane people in Congress. Sadly we live in a world where neither is the case.

Even here on FR, I was stunned when the Stark townhall video was exposed, and no one apparently caught the part where he told the guy (paraphrasing) go ahead and build the “wall” and let us know how high it will be so we can give the people coming in, ladders. What has this government come to??? In your face defiance of the citizens!
