Agree.It’s so sad to see blacks flocking to this man when he’s clearly against our best interests.

I do agree that we place too much of our hatred of illegal immigration on the people who cross the border than we should.

(LOL!) Do yourself a favor and check out how Mexico treats its illegals. After you do that, compare it to how America treats ours.

It’s presentation… He is talking to a group of minorities. He is a minority. Why wouldn’t he use “we” and “us”? This is no different than when Hillary spoke at that female university and did pretty much the same thing… This is politcs right?

That being said I don’t agree 100% with Obama’s stance on illegal immigration. And I did not like his answer in the debate when asked about how illegal immigration affects the black community.. I think Hillary got the best of him on that question.

I do agree that we place too much of our hatred of illegal immigration on the people who cross the border than we should.. We should be more outraged at the companies and industries who encourage them to do so. Obama made an interesting point in one of his question/answer sessions after one of his stump speeches.. He kinda made the point that if the minimum wage in Canada was $100 per hour there would be a lot of patriotic Americans crossing the border to work and send money back to families that need it (including probably me)… That’s pretty much how many of the Latin immigrants see the situation. And as long as the border is wide open and people keep hiring them they will keep coming.

Obama is rather naive. If he’s elected, a couple of years in the hot seat will slap that out of him.

I agree as well……

I’m actually ashamed of Obama…. I don’t think he gets a lot of things and I wish that the first serious black candidate would be better on the issues of the nation and the times….
