Obama: Unless you were a Native American, you came from someplace else

This afternoon in Las Vegas, President Obama reminded most American citizens that they were descended from immigrants themselves. Obama warned that the issue was an emotional one, but that it was important for Americans to not view it as “us versus them.” “It’s really important to remember our history,” Obama continued. “Unless you were one of the first Americans, a Native American, you came from someplace else, somebody brought you,” he said

I never thought he could top "you didn't build that"...

I was born here dumbass. Want to see my birth certificate?

[faithhopecharity]

Did he happen to mention where he came from?

“Unless you were one of the first Americans, a Native American, you came from someplace else, somebody brought you,”

Nobody "brought them" The illegals snuck in.

"“Unless you were one of the first Americans, a Native American, you came from someplace else, somebody brought you,” he said"

Like Kenya?

Where did the native Americans come from via the great land bridge of the ice age? I’m sure there are other theories.

What a tired canard. Doesn’t the “smartest man in the world” know that EVERYONE, including the Indians, came here from somewhere else? According to scientists, we’re all Africans. You’d think an African would know that.

you came from someplace else, somebody brought you

No, peabrain, I was born here. Where the hell are you from?

HUH?!

[GeronL]

What a moron

[Proud2BeRight]

The difference you undocumented incompetent lying Marxist idiot community organizer is that my ancestors came here legally.

Potage du jour

[Revolting cat!]

Note “somebody brought you” and “someone made it happen” (the latter was part of “you didn’t built that”.)

What does it mean? It means that unlike me, a self-made man, you’re nobody, somebody else made ya!

[Revolting cat!]

The halfwits of America are well represented now. Unbelievable!

[liberalism is suicide]

*Every* American born here is a native American.My original immigrant ancestors were from Europe. Me, I was born here.

If you believe the (Biblical) tale of Adam and Eve being created in the Garden of Eden between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, we probably come from Iraq.

Some of my kin has been here 400 years.

If family tradition and a common sense read on known history is to be believed, some of them have been here a whole lot longer than that. At least a thousand years longer.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the price of tea in China. Or with the existence of a birth certificate in Mombassa.

Or whether the United States of America is still a nation with defined borders and the rule of law.
