Obama: "I Need A dance Partner" On Immigration Reform
http://edition.cnn.com/ ^ | July 25, 2011 | Catherine E. Shoichet, CNN

(CNN) -- America's immigration system is broken, but only a bipartisan political movement can fix it, President Barack Obama said Monday. "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform. But that's not how our system works. That's not how our democracy functions," Obama told the National Council of La Raza. Speaking at the organization's annual conference in Washington, Obama said passing immigration reform measures will require support from both sides of the aisle in Congress. "Let's be honest, I need a dance partner here, and the floor is empty," he said.

If he were sent to the place I think he should go, his dance card would be full every night.

The first group, hit by a truck, car in a ditch and so on, sound like feelings of being out of control. This group, left at the altar, needing a dance partner, sound like feelings of abandonment, or in his case, a flashback to his many abandonments by his father, mother, etc. It is almost sad. (Almost).

but this seems like a shift to me.

i agree. but i think it is explained by the new highpowered speechwriter he hired about 3 months ago.

...as much as i dislike Obama, some of the speeches recently have been good. the one in Ireland for example,
had some good lines.

...as for a new dance party, i’m betting that Lindsay Graham would be happy to dance with Obama.

“almost sad. (Almost)”

It is sad.
Sad that the American electorate is so easily misled by such a screwed up commie.

Strange, now he’s gone from the automotive metaphors (car in a ditch, sit in back, hit by a truck) to the jilted lover metaphors (need a dance partner, left at the alter). Not that almost everything about this commie is strange to normal Americans, but this seems like a shift to me.

He's a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside a cliche'.

The latest dance metaphor is very revealing, too. Dancing is, after all, a "vertical expression of the horizontal".

We do seriously need immigration reform. We need to round up and deport all illegals in this country. We need to stop giving citizenship for children born to those here illegally. We need to use the full extent of the law on those that hire illegals, or assist them to get here, stay here, get fake identities, etc.

The amount of money we could save by removing illegals from social programs, health care, education, and the justice system is a staggering amount. We would also free up many jobs for our citizens.

True immigration reform would be a win/win for our country. The version Obama wants will destroy the country.

BS!

The only thing “Broken” about our immigration laws is their lack of ENFORCEMENT!

Finish a real fence, deport EVER illegal that is detected.
