In a radio interview that aired on Univision on Monday, Mr. Obama sought to assure Hispanics that he would push an immigration overhaul after the midterm elections, despite fierce Republican opposition. “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.” Referring specifically to Republicans such as Senator John McCain, who are stressing border security and supporting strict immigration laws like Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration measure, Mr. Obama said, “Those aren’t the kinds of folks who represent our core American values.”

What in TF?????

This guy is basically calling for a race war???

Now, that may not be how most would interpret his statement but given how he has acted stupidly in the past, there are nut jobs out there who will take him literally.

Unbelievable!!!!

Doesn’t he think his words have consequences?

Nope.

And neither is having a fence around the White Hut and a bunch of armed guards to defend it. /s

This is exactly the sort of rhetoric that makes any compromise on the illegal immigration issue absolutely impossible. The Hispanic immigrant community needed to try and sell itself to non-Latino Americans not poison the well of discourse with hate. Now its too late for a good ending for either side.

Obama is one the greatest haters in the world. He’s the ugliest man to ever appear on the scene in America’s history. All he does is smash, attack, undermine, destroy. That’s all leftists do. His legacy will be an America more racially polarized than before the civil rights movement.

Whites came to realize in the 1960s and 1970s that we needed to give other American their fair shake. White people’s guilt has lasted for a long time but is being rapidly used up. If Blacks and Latino can be violent, abusive, ugly racists white bigotry can not be held back forever. The world just doesn’t work like that.

We are now fighting a VERY uphill battle to make Martin Luther King’s dream of a color blind America a reality. Breaks my heart. I think of mighty men like Frederick Douglass that sacrificed so much to give us the opportunities we’re squandering and I want to say to them: “I’m just so very sorry. We’ve let you down so much.”

Should this be considered a declaration of war?

Maybe not yet, but I think we know who the enemies of the US are, and sadly, one of them resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

What do you expect from a weak, effeminate, skinny, little man when he has been given power.

He can’t fight his own battles and probably never could so he hides behind others to do his dirty work.

Now he engaging in inciting violence to get his way. What a pathetic little excuse of a man.
